For the 17th time, ScummVM has again been accepted for the [Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com) program this summer.

The program intends to bring new contributors into open source projects. In the most recent two years this has included both students and non-students as eligible candidates for participation.

Like last year, participants can apply for working on either short tasks (about 175 hours of work), or large tasks (about 350 hours of work). The coding period typically runs from start of June through August, but there is some flexibility which allows participants to have longer time frames if they are unable to work full time through the summer.

ScummVM is looking for people interested in participating in GSoC with us. A list of suggested projects can be found on [this page](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2024), but we are also open to your own ideas as well. Please provide the [required information in your application](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=GSoC_Application) before submitting.

We also strongly encourage you to join our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG), in the #scummvm-gsoc channel. This allows you to engage with our mentors and the rest of the team, to get advice about how to get involved with the project, as well as writing your application.

Based on our previous 16 years of experience with GSoC, we have put together a [Google Summer of Code miniportal](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code) to help you get started.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Pela 17ª vez, o ScummVM foi novamente aceito no programa [Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com) deste verão.

O programa tem o objetivo de trazer novos colaboradores para projetos de código aberto. Nos últimos dois anos, tanto estudantes quanto não estudantes foram incluídos como candidatos elegíveis para participação.

Assim como no ano passado, os participantes podem candidatar-se para trabalhar em tarefas curtas (cerca de 175 horas de trabalho) ou em tarefas grandes (cerca de 350 horas de trabalho). O período de programação normalmente vai do início de junho a agosto, mas há um pouco de flexibilidade que permite aos participantes ter prazos mais longos caso não possam trabalhar em tempo integral durante o verão.

ScummVM está procurando pessoas interessadas em participar do GSoC conosco. Uma lista de projetos sugeridos está disponível [nesta página](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code/GSoC_Ideas_2024), mas também estamos abertos às suas próprias ideias. Forneça as [informações necessárias em sua inscrição](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=GSoC_Application) antes de enviar.

Também recomendamos fortemente que você se junte ao nosso [servidor Discord](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG), no canal #scummvm-gsoc. Isto permite que você interaja com os nossos mentores e com o resto da equipa, para obter conselhos sobre como se envolver no projeto, bem como redigir a sua candidatura.

Com base em nossos 16 anos de experiência anteriores com GSoC, criamos um [miniportal do Google Summer of Code](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code) para ajudar você a começar.

Aguardamos ansiosamente seu contato!

ScummVM has been accepted to the Google Summer of Code 2024

ScummVM foi aceito no Google Summer of Code 2024

A poor test subject is doomed to repeat an hour over and over again. Trying desperately to prove his species worth as something better than merely meat to be ground into intergalactic fast food burgers.

The ScummVM Team is pleased to announce full support for _Orion Burger_, the classic game by Sanctuary Woods. The engine also adds a few niceties that the original didn't have, such as mouse wheel handling, and using the spacebar to skip walk animations - something the original didn't do properly.

Help us test the game by grabbing a [daily build](https://scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). Read through our [testing guidelines](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing#Testing_Guidelines). The game's logic was all hardcoded, so we really need people to try all sorts of weird actions, and make sure the game handles everything correctly and matches the original implementation. And please take some [screenshots](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) along the way.

Now, luck be with you. And remember, with the aliens cheating on the tests they set up for you, this will be no easy task.

Uma pobre cobaia está destinada a repetir a mesma hora indefinidamente. Tentando desesperadamente provar que sua espécie vale como algo melhor do que apenas carne para ser transformada em hambúrgueres de fast food intergalácticos.

A equipe ScummVM tem o prazer de anunciar suporte completo para _Orion Burger_, o jogo clássico de Sanctuary Woods. A engine também adiciona algumas sutilezas que o original não tinha, como o manuseio da roda do mouse e o uso da barra de espaço para pular animações de caminhada - algo que o original não fazia corretamente.

Ajude-nos a testar o jogo pegando uma [compilação diária](https://scummvm.org/downloads/#daily). Leia nossas [diretrizes de teste](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Release_Testing#Testing_Guidelines). AOriginalmente a lógica do jogo erafoi totalmente incorporada ao código, então realmente precisamos que as pessoas tentem todo tipo de ações estranhas e garantam que o jogo lide com tudo corretamente e corresponda à implementação original. E, por favor, tire algumas [capturas de tela](https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Screenshots) ao longo do caminho.

Que a sorte esteja com você. E lembre-se, com os alienígenas trapaceando nos testes que prepararam para você, isso não será uma tarefa fácil.

Lets Do the Time Warp Again, Or Burger Chow Awaits

Vamos fazer outro salto temporal, ou o Burger Chow nos aguarda

We are proud to announce the last release of the year 2023. Please welcome ScummVM 2.8.0 – “Mysteries, Mammoths, and Muppets”.

## New games
The team was quite busy working on new engines and enhancing existing ones. The list of supported games grew noticeably, and we now support these additions:

* _Adibou 1_
* _Classical Cats_
* _The Dark Eye_
* _Dark Side_
* _Escape From Hell_
* _Gadget: Invention Travel and Adventure_
* _Gobliiins 5_
* _The Excavation of Hob's Barrow_
* _Kingdom: The Far Reaches_
* _Might and Magic Book One_
* _Muppet Treasure Island_
* _Nancy Drew: The Final Scene_
* _Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion_
* _Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill_
* _Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger_
* _Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower_
* _Primordia_
* _Reah: Face the Unknown_
* _Schizm: Mysterious Journey_
* _Shardlight_
* _Strangeland_
* _Syberia_ and _Syberia II_ (macOS versions only)
* _Technobabylon_
* _The Vampire Diaries_
* _Whispers of a Machine_
* _Wrath of the Gods_ and four other Director titles.
* 14 AGS titles by _Stranga_ and _Cloak and Dagger_

All together, we’ve introduced 50 new games and five new engines.

## New platforms
We are happy to see the RetroArch port being properly rewritten, and the port is now part of our source code. The Atari port has also been redone from scratch and now talks natively to the hardware, skipping SDL as an intermediate layer. That made many more games playable on the platform. The Atari FireBee port is still using the SDL library, though.

## Speed-optimized graphics
Thanks to the work of one of the GSoC participants this year, Wyatt Radkiewicz (a.k.a. eklipsed), we now use CPU-specific SIMD instructions such as SSE, AVX2, and NEON for drawing graphics in the AGS engine and in some generic routines. This led to 4-14x speedup in drawing for many cases.

## Networking games
This year, we merged with the [Backyard Sports Online](https://backyardsports.online/) project, which made it possible to play _Backyard Football_, _Backyard Baseball 2001_ and _Backyard Football 2002_ over the internet with other humans. Also, the _Moonbase Commander_ support is in active playtesting mode, though not yet ready for prime time.

## Notable engine enhancements
The AGS engine has been brought up to version 3.6.0.53 from upstream.

For many engines, we added support for numerous Chinese and Japanese game variants.

Believe it or not, we implemented a lot of native GUI dialogs for SCUMM games, bringing them closer to the original experience. We also rewrote the sound code for the SCUMM Humongous Entertainment games, making them flawless.

We performed a deep review of the _Broken Sword 1_ game engine, implementing some small, previously unnoticed things like scene transitions, in-game menu peculiarities, accurate fonts, idle animations, and more. Now, the game is absolutely faithful to the original.

----

The full [Release Notes](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.8.0/ReleaseNotes.html) contain a comprehensive summary of the changes and enhancements; it is about 3 pages long with this release.

On [our downloads page](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/), you can find the downloads for various platforms. If you are using Windows, macOS, or either the Ubuntu Snap or Flatpack packages, the autoupdater will assist you in updating to ScummVM 2.8.0. Android port will follow up very shortly, as we are currently in the Open Beta phase.

Play the games, and enjoy ScummVM!

_Ah, one more thing…_

ScummVM is coming to [the Apple App Store for iPhones and iPads](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scummvm/id6446184412). Please leave us with good reviews and report any problems on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG), which includes an [iOS support channel](https://discord.com/channels/581224060529148060/1149456560922316911).

Temos o orgulho de anunciar o último lançamento do ano de 2023. Apresentamos o ScummVM 2.8.0 – “Mistérios, Mamutes e Muppets”.

## Novos jogos
A equipe esteve bastante ocupada trabalhando em novas engines e aprimorando as existentes. A lista de jogos compatíveis cresceu consideravelmente e agora oferecemos suporte a estas adições:

* _Adibou 1_
* _Classical Cats_
* _The Dark Eye_
* _Dark Side_
* _Escape From Hell_
* _Gadget: Invention Travel and Adventure_
* _Gobliiins 5_
* _The Excavation of Hob's Barrow_
* _Kingdom: The Far Reaches_
* _Might and Magic Book One_
* _Muppet Treasure Island_
* _Nancy Drew: The Final Scene_
* _Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion_
* _Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill_
* _Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger_
* _Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower_
* _Primordia_
* _Reah: Face the Unknown_
* _Schizm: Mysterious Journey_
* _Shardlight_
* _Strangeland_
* _Syberia_ e _Syberia II_ (somente versões para macOS)
* _Technobabylon_
* _The Vampire Diaries_
* _Whispers of a Machine_
* _Wrath of the Gods_ e quatro outros títulos do Director.
* 14 títulos AGS de _Stranga_ e _Cloak and Dagger_

Ao todo, introduzimos 50 novos jogos e cinco novas engines.

## Novas plataformas
Estamos felizes em ver a versão do RetroArch sendo reescrita corretamente, e esta versão agora faz parte do nosso código-fonte. A versão do Atari também foi refeita do zero e agora se comunica nativamente com o hardware, ignorando o SDL como camada intermediária. Isso tornou vários jogos jogáveis na plataforma. A versão do Atari FireBee ainda utiliza a biblioteca SDL.

## Gráficos otimizados para velocidade
Graças ao trabalho de um dos participantes do GSoC deste ano, Wyatt Radkiewicz (também conhecido como eklipsed), agora usamos instruções SIMD específicas da CPU, como SSE, AVX2 e NEON, para desenhar gráficos na engine AGS e em algumas rotinas genéricas. Isso levou a uma aceleração de 4 a 14x no desenho em muitos casos.

## Jogos de rede
Este ano, nos fundimos com o projeto [Backyard Sports Online](https://backyardsports.online/), que possibilitou jogar _Backyard Football_, _Backyard Baseball 2001_ e _Backyard Football 2002_ online com outros jogadores. Além disso, o suporte do _Moonbase Commander_ está no modo de teste de jogo ativo, embora ainda não esteja pronto para a estréia.

## Melhorias notáveis na engine
A engine AGS foi atualizada para a versão 3.6.0.53 do desenvolvimento principal.

Para muitas engines, adicionamos suporte para diversas variantes de jogos chineses e japoneses.

Acredite ou não, implementamos vários diálogos GUI nativos para jogos SCUMM, aproximando-os da experiência original. Também reescrevemos o código de som dos jogos SCUMM Humongous Entertainment, tornando-os perfeitos.

Realizamos uma revisão profunda da engine do jogo _Broken Sword 1_, implementando algumas coisas pequenas e anteriormente despercebidas, como transições de cena, peculiaridades do menu do jogo, fontes precisas, animações inativas e muito mais. Agora, o jogo é absolutamente fiel ao original.

----

As [Notas de versão](https://downloads.scummvm.org/frs/scummvm/2.8.0/ReleaseNotes.html) completas contêm um resumo abrangente das alterações e melhorias; tem aproximadamente 3 páginas nesta versão.

Na [nossa página de downloads](https://www.scummvm.org/downloads/), você encontra downloads para diversas plataformas. Se você estiver usando Windows, macOS ou os pacotes Ubuntu Snap ou Flatpack, o atualizador automático irá ajudá-lo a atualizar para o ScummVM 2.8.0. A versão Android será lançada em breve, já que estamos atualmente na fase Open Beta.

Jogue e aproveite o ScummVM!

Estamos felizes em ver a versão do RetroArch sendo reescrita corretamente, e esta versão agora faz parte do nosso código-fonte. A versão do Atari também foi refeita do zero e agora se comunica nativamente com o hardware, ignorando o SDL como camada intermediária. Isso tornou vários jogos jogáveis na plataforma. A versão do Atari FireBee ainda utiliza a biblioteca SDL.

## Gráficos otimizados para velocidade
Graças ao trabalho de um dos participantes do GSoC deste ano, Wyatt Radkiewicz (também conhecido como eklipsed), agora usamos instruções SIMD específicas da CPU, como SSE, AVX2 e NEON, para desenhar gráficos na engine AGS e em algumas rotinas genéricas. Isso levou a uma aceleração de 4 a 14x no desenho em muitos casos.

## Jogos de rede
Este ano, nos fundimos com o projeto [Backyard Sports Online](https://backyardsports.online/), que tornou possívelpossibilitou jogar _Backyard Football_, _Backyard Baseball 2001_ e _Backyard Football 2002_ pela Interonlinet com outros humanojogadores. Além disso, o suporte do _Moonbase Commander_ está no modo de teste de jogo ativo, embora ainda não esteja pronto para a estréia.

## Melhorias notáveis na engine
A engine AGS foi atualizada para a versão 3.6.0.53 do upstreamdesenvolvimento principal.

Para muitas engines, adicionamos suporte para diversas variantes de jogos chineses e japoneses.

Acredite ou não, implementamos vários diálogos GUI nativos para jogos SCUMM, aproximando-os da experiência original. Também reescrevemos o código de som dos jogos SCUMM Humongous Entertainment, tornando-os perfeitos.

Realizamos uma revisão profunda da engine do jogo _Broken Sword 1_, implementando algumas coisas pequenas e anteriormente despercebidas, como transições de cena, peculiaridades do menu do jogo, fontes precisas, animações inativas e muito mais. Agora, o jogo é absolutamente fiel ao original.

_Ah, mais uma coisa…_

O ScummVM está chegando [à Apple App Store para iPhones e iPads](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scummvm/id6446184412). Deixe-nos boas críticas e relate quaisquer problemas em nosso [servidor Discord](https://discord.gg/4cDsMNtcpG), que inclui um [canal de suporte iOS](https://discord.com/channels/581224060529148060/1149456560922316911).

We are proud to announce the last release of the year 2023. Please welcome ScummVM 2.8.0 – “Mysteries, Mammoths, and Muppets”.

## New games
The team was quite busy working on new engines and enhancing existing ones. The list of supported games grew noticeably, and we now support these additions:

* _Adibou 1_
* _Classical Cats_
* _The Dark Eye_
* _Dark Side_
* _Escape From Hell_
* _Gadget: Invention Travel and Adventure_
* _Gobliiins 5_
* _The Excavation of Hob's Barrow_
* _Kingdom: The Far Reaches_
* _Might and Magic Book One_
* _Muppet Treasure Island_
* _Nancy Drew: The Final Scene_
* _Nancy Drew: Message in a Haunted Mansion_
* _Nancy Drew: Secrets Can Kill_
* _Nancy Drew: Stay Tuned for Danger_
* _Nancy Drew: Treasure in the Royal Tower_
* _Primordia_
* _Reah: Face the Unknown_
* _Schizm: Mysterious Journey_
* _Shardlight_
* _Strangeland_
* _Syberia_ and _Syberia II_ (macOS versions only)
* _Technobabylon_
* _The Vampire Diaries_
* _Whispers of a Machine_
* _Wrath of the Gods_ and four other Director titles.
* 14 AGS titles by _Stranga_ and _Cloak and Dagger_

All together, we’ve introduced 50 new games and five new engines.

## New platforms
We are happy to see the RetroArch port being properly rewritten, and the port is now part of our source code. The Atari port has also been redone from scratch and now talks natively to the hardware, skipping SDL as an intermediate layer. That made many more games playable on the platform. The Atari FireBee port is still using the SDL library, though.

## Speed-optimized graphics
Thanks to the work of one of the GSoC participants this year, Wyatt Radkiewicz (a.k.a. eklipsed), we now use CPU-specific SIMD instructions such as SSE, AVX2, and NEON for drawing graphics in the AGS engine and in some generic routines. This led to 4-14x speedup in drawing for many cases.

## Networking games
This year, we merged with the [Backyard Sports Online](https://backyardsports.online/) project, which made it possible to play _Backyard Football_, _Backyard Baseball 2001_ and _Backyard Football 2002_ over the internet with other humans. Also, the _Moonbase Commander_ support is in active playtesting mode, though not yet ready for prime time.

## Notable engine enhancements
The AGS engine has been brought up to version 3.6.0.53 from upstream.

For many engines, we added support for numerous Chinese and Japanese game variants.

Believe it or not, we implemented a lot of native GUI dialogs for SCUMM games, bringing them closer to the original experience. We also rewrote the sound code for the SCUMM Humongous Entertainment games, making them flawless.

We performed a deep review of the _Broken Sword 1_ game engine, implementing some small, previously unnoticed things like scene transitions, in-game menu peculiarities, accurate fonts, idle animations, and more. Now, the game is absolutely faithful to the original.
