Feature request: Add Slime to ScummVM

Post by fossapps »

Hi, I know this is very niche and won't probably be added but since sludge engine is added to the supported engines, is there any chance that this port of the sludge engine to lua could be added to scummvm? https://wesleywerner.github.io/loveslime/

There's only one game I know so far that works on that port and is called "Shape shift escape". It was originally created for sludge engine.
Both versions of the game (sludge and slime versions of the game) created by the same developer of the sludge port to lua can be found here:

Slime game: https://github.com/wesleywerner/shape-shift-escape

More info about the game and some screenshots: https://engrams.dev/projects/shape-shift-escape/

I'm also working on a remake of the game (using slime).

The engine is built on top of love2d. which is now over 645k lines of code. And on top of that, it is an actively developed project, with 50+ commits just in this year. For us, it would be a moving target, thus, adding that codebase to ScummVM is quite unrealistic.

I understand, there are also very little graphic adventures made on it. At least the game above was originally developed on sludge-engine so it should work.
For those interested on testing the game, I managed to run it on ScummVM by downloading the Win32 version of the game even if I run ScummVM on linux, add it to the list and it works.
It is a very short game I think (I did not finish it yet) but you can add it to the list of sludge compatible games.
