Since I have not followed the blog since kickstarter, I have no clue if the engine name has been disclosed. I am just curious, because SCUMM became so well known by fans, and is kind of a rather cool name, if TWP engine has a name yet? ---

No name yet. Internally, I just called it the ThimbleEngine, to separate it from the game code. It’s hard to top SCUMM for an engine name. ---

It **might** be called ThimbleScript, as written by Jenn [in this post on the blog and in its comments](https://blog.thimbleweedpark.com/codemonkey2). But I suspect that “ThimbleScript” isn’t the name of the entire engine but only the name of the scripting language used by the main engine. (do you think it would be better to move this thread to the “Development/Design” category?) Edited: Ron gave the actual answer while I was replying. ---

The SCUMM bar is indeed a special place, there should be a real version in Disneyland or Eurodisney Paris. It’s like the white lodge in Twin Peaks. Why not calling it SCUMM-A-RENO… ---

Yeah, but probably if Disney puts an animatronic pirate inside, they will use “ask me about CARS” 😀 ---
