I strongly disagree with adding Frotz, especially since I have not read
any advantages stated, for this game engine to merge with ScummVM.
This would be the first game engine that is solely text based, offering
no point and click interface. With only limited graphics & sound
included in the later games.
It would change ScummVM's focus from point and click adventure games, to
any adventures games. Opening the ScummVM project, to incorporating the
many different text based game engines around.
The Frotz project already offers wide support for many different
platforms. I think the multi-platform support of ScummVM would actually
be a disadvantage in this case, due to been designed for graphical
adventure games. ScummVM would have higher requirements, compared to
Frotz, which is designed solely for those games.
