Riven and Scummvm

All the inane chatter goes in here. If you're curious about whether we will support a game, post HERE not in General Discussion :)

I have some experience programming with C++ itself, but not with ScummVM nor SDL, etc.

I have Myst (first version, for Windows 3.1) and I'd love to help scummVm to support this game.

Do you have any kind os tasks not too hard that I could try to take?
I have just sent an e-mail to you (the one that is attached to this account).

I take it then that this is a separate engine from ScummVM?

Are there future plans on integrating these games into ScummVM?

It's being worked on outside of ScummVM (like several other engines, not to mention Groovie) and then will be added to ScummVM (hopefully) when the time is right.

Not much progress on Myst, there's been a bit on Riven though.

Good to see work underway to support Myst and RIVEN, i have been involved with the Myst series for years and a long time member of the online URU title in the series and know the guys at Cyan if you need any support from them or info.

BTW, in case not known, RIVEN and the original MYST both will run fine on XP just need to install an older version of QuickTime, usually 3 will work the best and you can get that online by googling. The rest of the game works fine. But it is always good to see ScummVM expanding as I think the world of the project and am very grateful for the support of older game titles that become inacessible as modern systems evolve.

Thanks again for the great work.
