[Scummvm-devel] AGS Linux port is looking for a maintainer

[Ori Avtalion]

Hi everybody,

*** This is not related to ScummVM ***

The AGS engine has enjoyed a Linux port (closed source) for several
years now, which means that all the wonderful games people are making
are also available to linux users.

Unfortunately, the original porter cannot continue working on it, and
the project is looking for a new maintainer.

This means that all new and future games made with AGS (version 3) do
not work natively under Linux.

Since all of the ScummVM developers love adventure games, and some of
you are using Linux, I thought I'd ask the mailing list.

>From what I understand, the engine is based on Allegro, and the port is
mostly based on the original unmodified codebase. So it *probably*
doesn't require too much work other than compiling and distributing the
binaries when a new version is released.

If anyone is interested, please see

Thanks,
