Hi James,<div><br></div><div>The situation is still the same: only 2D point&click adventure game engines are merged, and, if some other games are using the same engine, the specific code required to make them run.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There's also a scummvm-misc project that hosts some exotic things that doesn't fit. It hasn't been refreshed recently (afaik), but it's already some kind of unofficial sister project. You can do something similar, or use it and ask dreammaster to upgrade it (if he has time). </div>
<div><br></div><div>I think the most important for the moment is to get something running: discussion about where to host it may come later. With EoB3 and Dungeon Hack supported, it won't rot.</div><div><br></div><div>

<div><br></div><div>I chose to do an engine for ScummVM because you guys have a lot of infrastructure that it seemed to be a shame not to use.

</div></div>While I do wish you luck in implementing the engine, I do want to say<br>
right here (before you get involved too deeply), that I would be<br>
against the engine being accepted into ScummVM.<br>
<br>
Our discussion last year about this same topic of branching to RPG's<br>
was that we only accepted EOB 1/2 as subengines of the Kyra engine. We<br>
are still an adventure game targeted project.<br>
