[Scummvm-devel] New member introduction

[lolbot lolbot]

Hi,
 
I’m lb_ii (on IRC/discord/forum/etc and lolbot_iichan on github) and I’m working from time to time on improving Wintermute 2D engine.
 
Everything started in summer 2018 while I was playing FoxTail game, which I enjoyed a lot. Wintermute logo at FoxTail's intro made me wonder if this game is supported by ScummVM. So, I gave it a try, and the game really was detected as unknown version of FoxTail, but was crashing right after start. I thought that there might be some tiny bug I need to fix, so I started digging into it... By the time when I discovered that in fact a heavily customized source fork of Wintermute was actually used for this game, there were no way turning back :) I decompiled game's scripts, tracked all the required new engine methods, guessed their semantics from game scripts and implemented them. You can check FoxTail support in nightly builds - it was updated recently.
 
My other recent addition to ScummVM is Achievements subsystem, which provides an engine a way for tracking Steam/GoG/other achievements, which is used by a dozen of actual Wintermute games. See pull-request https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/2172 for details.
 
I'm very happy to join the team and look forward to working with you!
 
Thanks,
lb
