[Scummvm-devel] A new engine: Interspective

[Filippos K]

Hello Rafal

Nice work! :) Well done

There was once an attempt to add support for the second installment of the game, Innocent until caught 2. I believe there is still an early version of the engine, called "ill", lurking around. I don't think it's nearly in such an advanced state as yours though.

The company who developed Innocent until caught, Divide by Zero, created the following games:
    * The Gene Machine
    * Innocent Until Caught
    * Innocent Until Caught 2: Presumed Guilty
    * The Orion Conspiracy

Check:
http://www.mobygames.com/browse/games/divide-by-zero-ltd/

There might be a possibility that all of these games use the same engine (or a more advanced version of it), as the 2 Innocent games and the Orion conspiracy were released within 3 years, one every year (plus, they do look quite similar).

All in all, keep up the good work! :)

Regards
Filippos
