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 :)
Ναι, είμαστε ακόμα ζωντανοί. Δυστυχώς απέχουμε ακόμα αρκετά από το να είμαστε έτοιμοι για την έκδοση 0.2.0. Πολύς κόσμος μας ανέφερε ένα μεγάλο αριθμό από κρίσιμα προβλήματα και δουλεύουμε για την επίλυσή τους. Με λίγη υπομονή θα τα καταφέρουμε στο τέλος!

Παρεμπιπτόντως... αν κάποιος γνωρίζει που βρίσκεται ο Sean Clark ή κάποιος άλλος που συμμετείχε στο σχεδιασμό του Sam and Max, παρακαλούμε να τους πιάσετε και να τους βάλετε να μας εξηγήσουν το ενοχλητικό αγώνα στη Δίνη του Μυστηρίου (Mystery Vortex) που μας κρατάει ξάγρυπνους το τελευταίο 48ωρο.

Ευχαριστούμε, και καλή σας διασκέδαση με το 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.
Χάρις σε πολλούς φίλους μας, έχουμε επιβεβαιώσει ότι τα DOTT, Sam and Max και LoomCD είναι όλα ολοκληρώσιμα χωρίς 'σημαντικά' προβλήματα στον τρέχοντα κώδικα. Από την άλλη μεριά, βρέθηκαν πολλά σοβαρά προβλήματα με τον κώδικά για τα MI2 και Indy4, οπότε η κυκλοφορία της 0.2.0 ίσως μας πάρει λίγο παραπάνω από όσο αναμενόταν.

Προς τους προγραμματιστές εκεί έξω, μπορείτε ελεύθερα να ρίξετε μια ματιά στη λίστα με τα προβλήματα και να δοκιμάσετε να υποβάλετε διορθωτικό κώδικα για αυτά. Αυτή τη στιγμή υπάρχει μόνο ένα άτομο που δουλεύει τακτικά πάνω στο ScummVM, οπότε η πρόοδος είναι αργή.

[_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/).

[_Unrest_](https://pyrodactyl.com/) is a roleplaying game developed by _Pyrodactyl Studios_ set in a fantasy interpretation of ancient India. You’ll step into the shoes of ordinary people and navigate a world fraught with challenges as they strive for safety, freedom, and peace.

We are proud to announce that Unrest is now playable using ScummVM thanks to the work done by our GSoC student, Kartik Agarwala! Help us test the game by grabbing a [daily build](https://scummvm.org/downloads/#daily) of ScummVM. Read through our [testing guidelines](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing#Testing_Guidelines), and please take some [screenshots](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way. If you encounter any issues, please report them to our [bugtracker](https://bugs.scummvm.org/).

If you don’t own Unrest, you can purchase this game from either [GOG](https://www.gog.com/en/game/unrest) or [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/292400/Unrest/). The demo for the game is also supported and available [from our web site](https://www.scummvm.org/demos/).

Now go, use your manipulative skills to bring peace to this troubled world where chaos is not afar. For the most daring players using the iron-man mode, saving and loading the game is only available using ScummVM's Global Main Menu.
