Actionscript 3 SCUMM like engine

Post by Joony »

Hi,

I'm thinking about starting an open source project for an Actionscript like SCUMM engine and was just wondering what people's thoughts on it might be.

Obviously it won't be a port, but it could be very similar to the SCUMM engine, and although it won't allow you to run SCUMM games, an editor would allow you to create games of your own.

But maybe though, if Actionscript is up to it, it might be able to run SCUMM games. I don't know.

Anyway, what do you think?

Good question. Unlike AGS this would be platform independent and would also be deployable on the web, so you would have far more resources available to you. Even the possibility for multiplayer etc.
