Cool, I’ll take a look at it. I’ll begin working shortly on my own engine, I’ll take inspiration 😛 or, if it suits my needs, I’ll directly work on yours. But as I already said, I’m a programmer, so I really _want_ to build my own. I’d share the one I used for my own game (heck - here’s the link: [Kill Yourself](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gugames.killyourself) ) but 1) it’s not cross-platform, android only 2) it’s awful, it was never meant to be shared 3) it’s not a real engine, rather a library, so it’s of no help for non-coders.

The open source adventure game engine [SLUDGE](https://opensludge.github.io) was imported to [ScummVM](http://www.scummvm.org/news/20170505/) and works on Windows, Mac OS and Linux (and probably others).

Sorry to do some grave digging but if anyone’s too lazy to play it themselves @Someone got me into streaming some stuff. 😛 I’m not sure if my laptop mic is up to snuff but oh well.

Actually, it looks like this was my “bad”, for resurrecting an old thread - sorry all! 😇
But THANK YOU very much for making this play-through video
_(you are the first - for **this** SCUMM-8 game anyway…)_

Why? Did you find a bug (couldn’t see one in the video) 🤨
I tested it myself (back when I uploaded it last year), and it seemed to work ok.
Unfortunately, the site you played it on (Lexeloffle BBS) - isn’t the best place to play SCUMM-8 games, because the “player” doesn’t do things like: hide the system mouse cursor, or allow right-clicks properly.
Either way, if you are anyone are at all interested in other “mini” SCUMM-like Point+Click adventure games, feel free to check out [my website](http://www.liquidream.co.uk/) for more.
(I hope it’s ok to put that link here - please let me know if not!)
Thanks again @Frenzie - much appreciated! 😊

Haha no, I mean that if you’ve only ever tried it yourself it might be really interesting for you to see! 🙂

Heck yeah!
Edit: figured I might as well record playing with the other one. 😉

Edit 2: oh, my UHD (“4k”) experiment failed, presumably due to insufficient upload bandwidth.
Anyhow, I played the final (?) one too.
@tasse-tee You might like Nushi’s appearance at the end.

Awww, did poor Nushi get spooked by the scary man in the mask? 🙀
I like the eerie atmosphere of the game, especially the use of the sound effects.

Wow, you played them all?! Didn’t expect that! 😲
Thanks for sharing your play-throughs.
Looks like you got your streaming settings spot-on for the last one. 👍
Thanks again.

They’re fun little bite-sized games! I actually didn’t even know there were mini adventure games. I was only familiar with cute little fun games like this one:

Yeah, I’ve tried regular HD before and it works fine. 🙂

@Frenzie Hey, thanks a lot - it was REALLY tough.
ESPECIALLY seeing as “Black” had to be considered one of the colours.
Really, it felt like a 2-colour jam - but was happy with how it came out. 😊
(PS. Thanks for cross-referencing - I do seem to have inadvertently hijacked this thread - sorry all 😇)

I’ll throw in the hugely known, but rarely used (for games), Qt 5 application framework.
I resurrected a point’n’click-like adventure game a friend and I were working on 10 years ago and made it [open source](https://github.com/Larpon/DeadAscend) - I decided to write the engine from scratch in QML and JavaScript just for the heck of it.
Turns out it was feasible - so I’m currently writing a full blown adventure based on Qt 5.
The thing that currently hurt the most with Qt 5 is deployment and a few shortcomings in the JavaScript support in QML. Beside that - Qt can be used as a heavy weight (some would say bloated) adventure game engine 🙂
