I don't need to remind you that this investigation is strictly unofficial

Post by stauff »

We are excited to announce that Rise of the Dragon is now ready for public testing. This is the first of a small number of games built using the DGDS (Dynamix Game Development System) engine.

The Dynamix name may be familiar – bought by Sierra in 1990, the Dynamix brand continued and became well known for action and puzzle games like The Incredible Machine, A10 Tank Killer, and Red Baron. They also made a few adventures using the custom DGDS engine.

Rise of the Dragon is set in Los Angeles in a dark version of the future, circa 2053. You play as Blade Hunter, a private investigator and retired police officer. After a designer drug kills the mayor's rebellious daughter, Chandra, Hunter is hired to find the people responsible for releasing the drug on the streets. What Blade ultimately finds is much more than he expected. Rise of the Dragon combines classic point-and-click adventure style with platforming arcade sequences, giving a unique gameplay combination.

You’ll need the latest daily build of ScummVM and files from the DOS version of the game, which you can buy at GOG (check our wiki for the required data files). Please file any issues you notice on our bug tracker.

Amazing! Didn't know anyone was still working on this engine. Do you think it would be possible to add the SegaCD voiceovers to this?

Any chance for integrating support for the voiceover from the SegaCD version? That would create an ultimate "best of both worlds" version.

Perhaps someone could build ScummVM with this enhancement and share it? I have no idea how to do it, but instructions are on reddit:

Seems that after he joined the Discord there is some official integration happening, will probably appear in the Daily Builds very soon, I'd just wait.
