Thanks for the point, but there is significant overlap between the<br>
ScummVM and GemRB developers, including wjp who raised this<br>
question so we are aware of it and would mainly be talking to<br>
ourselves :)<br>
<br>
GemRB is intended to reimplement the Bioware Infinity Engine and<br>
thus is not really applicable to other RPGs which have vastly<br>
differing internal engine designs.<br>
<br>
While it is possible that the GemRB could be integrated in future<br>
as an engine within RogueVM / ScummVM, this doesn't really have any<br>
bearing on the current point at hand.<br>
Thanks,<br>
David Turner<br>
<br>
P.S. A general +1 from me to merging the RogueVM and other RPG engines<br>
into ScummVM.<br>
