This was meant to come out 2 months ago, but Yolkfolk's server refused to let me upload it for some reason, so I've resorted to uploading it to The Codmasters Archive's server which happily accepted it.
Not that you guys will be able to notice any difference.
Now, Dizzy and Seymour - I'm still struggling with new story ideas, so I'm starting a clean slate with this adventure.
"A Heroes Tale" will serve as the prequel to the 2016 Dizzy and Seymour game, "The Dark Wizard.
With this game, I've made some noticable changes:
-- Refreshed character sprites, especially for Daisy. What's more, all characters can now blink.
-- Using a different display plugin so the game itself should no longer be blurry.
It's a Clickteam Fusion plugin called 'Ultimate Fullscreen', which was used on our "Dizzy The Adventurer" remake.
I really am hoping the plugin won't cause any problems, well knowing my luck.
So far, the only downside is that the new fullscreen display won't play Fade-In transitions.
If this is a success, then I will consider redoing "The Dark Wizard", "Kingdom Gems" and "Spirit Island" from scratch with this new display and refreshed Dizzy engine by @andyuk somewhere down the line.
Anyway, after 2 and a half years, here is my latest bizarre creation.

Story:
Dizzy and Seymour have known each other for many years.
Dizzy has spent most of his life protecting his family and friends from the evil wizard Zaks.
With lots of experience with exploring, puzzle solving and using his knowledge to outsmart his enemies, Dizzy is seen as Zakeria’s biggest hero.
Seymour started off in life as a janitor for Findelmeyer Studios.
After proving his helpfulness and showing off his acting skills, Seymour became a superstar.
One day, Seymour and his film crew visit Keldor town for their next movie.
Unfortunately for them, Zaks causes carnage in the town forcing everybody to flee.
The film crew fled in one direction out of town, while Seymour found himself heading towards Keldor forest where he bumps into Dizzy.
After learning about Zaks’ latest attack, Dizzy and Seymour team up as they seek help from good wizard Theodore, and together manage to defeat Zaks.
Seymour becomes good friends with Dizzy and the Yolkfolk and he decides to move to a quiet part of Keldor to become a book author.
Now, usually most stories end here.
But one day, Dizzy tells Seymour that the Yolkfolk have disappeared and believes that this could be Zaks’ doing.
Can you help Dizzy and Seymour solve the mystery and save the Yolkfolk?

Bugs:
— Dizzy tends to slip on slopey platforms and on the edges of boulders, It’s down to the way AndyUK coded the platform engine.
