[Scummvm-devel] Out of This World / Another World?

[Torbjorn.E.Andersson at tietoenator.com]

I have to admit that I'm rather puzzled by the merging of 'raw' [1] into
ScummVM. Particularly since there was no discussion first, unless I blinked
at the wrong moment and missed it. Judging by the discussion on #scummvm,
I'm far from the only one who feels that way. Including cyx, who suggested
the discussion be brought up on the mailing list.

There are at least two reasons why 'raw' seems like an awkward fit in
ScummVM to me:

* So far, we have only supported bitmap graphics. Out of this World uses
  mostly lines and polygons, as far as I can tell. ScummVM's graphics
  scalers are hardly ideal for this.

* It's not really a point-and-click adventure - it's more of an arcade game.

It doesn't really matter much to me, but I'd be interested to hear what the
reasoning behind the merger was.
