Ladies, Gentleman, Three headed monkeys, and alien mindbenders... lend me your ears.

Firstly, an update on our legal negotiations with LucasArts. We are hopefully very close to finalising our arrangement, and sometime in the next week hope to make an announcement regarding this. Of course, we had hoped to make an announcement a good month ago. Unfortunately things are rather busy at LucasArts, so it has taken a while to talk to the relevant people.

On another note, I would like to address something that comes up at least once a week. No, ScummVM is not currently in any kind of position to start supporting OTHER non-SCUMM games. The inclusion of Simon support aside, the current team has far too much on their hands trying to complete support for existing LucasArts classic adventures. Although we may add support for other games in the future, we do not currently plan on it... and any requests to do so will be promply ignored.

Unless it is accompanied by a donation of money over $2,000.

Meanwhile, we would suggest asking for help at the wonderful [VOGONS](http://vogons.zetafleet.com/) (Very Old Games on New Systems) site if you require help with other games on modern operating systems.

Anyway, that's all for the moment. Donations have been rather non-existant lately, so if you haven't already, please consider using the PayPal button under the menu on the left... and send us some cash. Currently we are using donations for legal costs, and purchasing software (such as a copy or three of [IDA Pro](http://www.datarescue.com/), as well as games some of our developers may not already have).

Yes, we are still alive. Unfortunately far from being ready for 0.2.0, several people have raised a large number of critical bugs we are working through. Stick with us, we'll get their eventually!

Oh, and by the way.. if anyone knows the location of Sean Clark or any other person who scripted Sam and Max, please kidnap them and force them to explain an annoying script race in the Mystery Vortex which has kept several of us awake for the last 48 hours.

Thanks, and enjoy ScummVM :)

Thanks to several people, we have confirmed that DOTT, Sam and Max and LoomCD are all completable with no 'major' bugs in the current code. On the other hand, several serious bugs with MI2 and Indy4 have been found, so the 0.2.0 release may take slightly longer than expected.

To the coders out there, feel free to browse the bug list and take a shot at committing fixes for them. At the moment there is only one person regually working on ScummVM, so things are slow.

Since version 1.0.0 ScummVM supports the original cutscenes in smacker format for Broken Sword 1 and the cutscene pack below is not needed.

When using older versions of ScummVM you need to get the cutscene pack below (provided with the kind permission of Revolution Software) to replace the original smacker files. It contains video in DXA format and audio in FLAC format. The audio files are also available in OGG format as a separate download to replace FLAC files when using ScummVM on platforms that do not support FLAC audio. Audio files are available in several languages and to use them you just need to replace the English FLAC files from the cutscene pack with the files from your chosen language and format.

You may want to get the Subtitles AddOn though as it adds subtitles not present in the original game to the cutscenes.
A partire dalla versione 1.0.0, ScummVM supporta i filmati originali di Broken Sword 1 (in formato smacker). Pertanto il pacchetto di filmati qui disponibile non è più necessario.

Quando si utilizzano versioni precedenti di ScummVM, è necessario scaricare il pacchetto di filmati qui presente (per gentile concessione di Revolution Software) da utilizzare al posto dei file in formato smacker. Contiene video in formato DXA e audio in formato FLAC. I file audio sono disponibili anche in formato OGG, come download separato, per sostituire i file FLAC quando si utilizza ScummVM su piattaforme che non supportano questo formato audio. I file audio sono disponibili in diverse lingue e per usarli devi solo sostituire i file FLAC inglesi dal pacchetto cutscene con i file dalla lingua e formato scelti.

Potresti voler scaricare l'AddOn Sottotitoli in quanto aggiunge i sottotitoli ai filmati, che in origine non erano presenti.

[_Castle Master_](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Castle_Master), the haunting conclusion to the Freescape engine saga, is now ready for public testing!

Prepare yourself for a perilous adventure as you lower the drawbridge to enter the Castle Master’s domain. Released in 1990 by Incentive Software, Castle Master became popular for its technical innovation and challenging gameplay. The game inspired countless 3D adventure titles, and the Freescape engine itself marked a technological milestone, enabling groundbreaking object interaction and spatial puzzles.

Notably, Castle Master was one of the first games to let you choose to play as either a prince or a princess, offering a different experience depending on your choice.

Your mission: rescue your twin, imprisoned within the eerie depths of Castle Eternity by the evil Magister. This sprawling, foreboding castle is filled with traps, monsters, and puzzles blocking your path. Gather items, unlock doors, and solve complex riddles as you navigate the labyrinthine halls and confront the dark forces within.

This modern reimplementation showcases enhanced graphics using OpenGL, with initial support for the DOS and ZX Spectrum releases. If you’re eager to embark on this dark journey, [a playable demo](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/demos/freescape/castle-dos-demo.zip) is available to test your tenacity.

To participate in the testing, ensure you have a [daily development build](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). We encourage all players to submit feedback and bug reports through our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

Will you brave the creepy corridors of Castle Eternity and free your sibling, or will you fall victim to the Magister’s curse and join his army of enslaved spirits? The adventure awaits!

After seven months of intense work, we are ready to announce support for a few games based on qdEngine, developed by K-D Labs.

The work is based on the original sources published now under GPL, although the work started a bit earlier than that. The engine supports 14 games, five of which we are announcing support for. Most of these games were released in Russian; however, there were Lithuanian, Czech, and Polish releases. The support is announced for:

* _Wait for it! Issue 3. Song for a Hare_, (Russian: _Ну, погоди! Выпуск 3. Песня для зайца_, Lithuanian: _Na, palauk! Zuikio dainos_, Czech: _Jen počkej a Píseň pro zajíce_)
* _Mask Show_ (Russian: _Маски-шоу_)
* _Marvellous Mice Adventures: Meeting Sea Rat_ (Russian: _Три маленькие белые мышки. Визит Морской крысы_, Czech: _Příběhy myší rodinky I_, Polish: _Były Sobie Myszki Trzy: Na Spotkanie Cioci Myszy_)
* _The Adventures of the Good Soldier Schweik_ (Russian: _Похождения бравого солдата Швейка_)
* _Marvellous Mice Adventures: Sea Rat's Birthday_, (Russian: _Три маленькие белые мышки. День рождения морской крысы_, Polish: _Były Sobie Myszki Trzy: Urodzinowe Śledztwo_)

Other games do work; however, we haven’t playtested them. You may find more information on [our Wiki](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=QdEngine). Also, we are looking for the Lithuanian version of _Little Longnose_ and Polish releases of _Little Mice_ games and _Wait for it!_ game. If you happen to have a copy, please contact sev.

We continue the active development so that support for other games will follow shortly. The primary constraint is playtesting.

To run these games, you need the [latest daily build](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/#daily) of ScummVM. If you encounter any hiccups during your quests, please file them on our [issue tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

We are excited to announce that [_Rise of the Dragon_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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](https://scummvm.org/downloads/#daily) and files from the DOS version of the game, which you can buy at [GOG](https://www.gog.com/en/game/rise_of_the_dragon) (check [our wiki](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Rise_of_the_Dragon) for the required data files). Please file any issues you notice on our [bug tracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).
Siamo entusiasti di annunciare che [_Rise of the Dragon_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_of_the_Dragon) è pronto per la fase di test pubblica. Si tratta del primo di un ristretto numero di giochi creati utilizzando il motore DGDS (Dynamix Game Development System).

Il nome Dynamix può risultarti familiare - acquistato dalla Sierra nel 1990, lo studio ha mantenuto la stessa denominazione negli anni a venire ed è diventato famoso per diversi giochi di azione e puzzle, come _The Incredible Machine_, _A10 Tank Killer_, e _Red Baron_. Hanno rilasciato anche alcune avventure, utilizzando una versione customizzata del motore DGDS.

_Rise of the Dragon_ si svolge a Los Angeles intorno al 2053, in un futuro distopico. Assumi il ruolo di Blade Hunter, ex agente di polizia ora investigatore privato. Dopo la morte della figlia ribelle del sindaco, Chandra, a causa di una droga sintetica, Hunter è assoldato per scoprire chi ha iniziato a distribuire la sostanza. Ma Blade scoprirà molto più di quanto si aspettava... _Rise of the Dragon_ alterna il classico gameplay delle avventure punta-e-clicca a sequenze arcade a piattaforme, creando una combinazione unica nel suo genere.

Avrai bisogno dell'ultima [daily build di ScummVM](https://scummvm.org/downloads/#daily) e i files della versione DOS del gioco, che puoi acquistare su [GOG](https://www.gog.com/en/game/rise_of_the_dragon) (controlla la [nostra wiki](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Rise_of_the_Dragon) per la lista dei files necessari).
