<div> </div>
<div>I'd love to see some sort of integration of Visual Novel engine(s) in ScummVM.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'd also like to point out Ren'Py as a candidate.</div>
<div>It's a Visual Novel creation framework and also an engine to run the games.</div>
<div>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren'Py</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It's already based on pygame and SDL, but i fear it might be out of scope due to it's Python based nature.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Still, if i had a vote i'd give it to Visual Novels :-)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If erotic/hentai and such is problematic then those games could be locked out by using the md5sum feature, i guess?</div>
<div>At least for the release versions?</div>
<div> </div>

<div>Hi team,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I receive regularly questions about Visual Novel games, which makes me wonder if we couldn't find a way to work on them without including them in the standard ScummVM binary.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There are several engines around for Visual Novel games: FGRE (<span style="text-align: left;color: rgb(36,41,46);text-transform: none;text-indent: 0.0px;letter-spacing: normal;font-size: 16.0px;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: 400;text-decoration: none;word-spacing: 0.0px;display: inline;white-space: normal;float: none;background-color: rgb(255,255,255);">NitroPlus games)</span>, ANISE (Elf, Silky's), Nekoze (D.O., ZyX, CD Bros, Purple, Will, Ilex), VileVN (a lot, and the lead dev was willing to change the licencing to GPLv2 and join ScummVM to do the work 2 years ago), etc</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As a matter of fact, most of these games are at least erotic, and most of these games are japanese/korean only. Eugene explicitely refused the merge in ScummVM so that our project remains reasonably clean (we have several adult only games supported but none is really 18+ so far. Examples: Hopkins FBI, Leisure Suit Larry, PDWT, Voyeur, Fascination)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I therefore wonder if we couldn't have an engine (or more) sitting in master, but explicitely not included even in the night build. Or maybe have two builds, a "mostly safe for work" one and a NSFW alternative so that we can see if a change in common code breaks Something there.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don't have a very clear idea of how we could work that out, but I clearly see an Opportunity to attract more devs and users, so I felt like I had to raise (again) the point and see if we may find Something that suits everybody</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance for your thoughts</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Arnaud</div>
