While the ScummVM project was originally meant to cover 2D classics, ResidualVM was the companion project for 3D games and now they're going to combine into ScummVM.
In a fresh announcement, the ScummVM team mentioned how it's now been going for 19 years as the first-ever public release of ScummVM was back in 2001. Not a bad time to announce the merger of the two projects. This means that ScummVM will be embracing both 2D and 3D games, including RPGs and point-and-click adventures under one roof. They already shared a few developers so hopefully it will go smoothly.
Together though, it means ScummVM will add support for titles like: Grim Fandango, Escape from Monkey Island, Myst III - Exile, The Longest Journey and an unfinished engine for In Cold Blood, as well as Wintermute 3D engine.
Nice to see ScummVM going from strength to strength, after recently putting out the 2.2.0 release which added support for multiple Ultima titles and a serious classic from the 70s.

Quoting: LightkeyQuoting: monyarmMy project targets visual novels, including NSFW ones. I've discussed it with the devs on the Discord, and most of them are okay with upstreaming support for older SFW visual novels (Like Clannad or Kanon), but the NSFW ones (the porn/doujinshi games), and the relatively new-ish ones (like Persona), It was a no from the devs, infact one of them said that if a NSFW game was upstreamed they'd quit.And yet they already support the Leisure Suit Larry series and a game literally called Voyeur, similar to Night Trap. Let me guess, it was sev?
Yup, it was sev, this were his words in the discord

i still don't understand why nsfw content is an issue

@Henke37 simple reason: not compatible with me
the day you add it to scummvm, I will leave
so, you may gather all devs, decide to still add it, and I'm saying goodbye
there are no technical problems with it

We do have an engine for Plumbers don’t wear ties...
And Leisure Suit Larry may be crossing some lines, but presumably not as many as the ones you’re mentioning
Mataniko 05/13/2020
i think there is a very wide gap between the two
trembyle 05/13/2020
We have Voyeur
DreamMaster 05/13/2020
But that's not very NSFW. As far as I remember there was no nudity or explicit sex. Just adult themes at worst
trembyle 05/13/2020
The wiki says that it "features" nudity. Maybe that needs to be changed.
DreamMaster 05/13/2020
Well it's been some years since I worked on it, so my memory may be wrong. But I do recall there wasn't anything that could be considered pornographic. So even if there is brief nudity, then that'd be the worst of it

Quoting: monyarmSo I guess what needs to happen is someone needs to start a project for Artworx's Strip Poker games, and also add the NSFW Visual Novels to it. We'll call the project Pr0ngine. :)Quoting: LightkeyQuoting: monyarmMy project targets visual novels, including NSFW ones.
