Hello GSoC ’24


Hello everyone, ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I’m Krish, a final-year Diploma in Computer Science Engineering student, and I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be spending my summer diving into the world of classic adventure games as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) contributor for ScummVM! ๐Ÿฅณ

If you’re wondering what got me so excited, let’s just say I’m a total geek for everything games ๐ŸŽฎ โ€“ playing them, making them, even engines that power them.ย I’ve always been a huge fan of old-school point-and-click adventures, with Thimbleweed Park being a recent favorite of mine. There’s just something special about those quirky characters, mind-bending puzzles, and immersive stories. ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ”

This summer, I’ll be focusing on enhancing ScummVM’s support for Macromedia Director games. You might remember classics like The Journeyman Project or Total Distortion โ€“ these were made with a tool called Macromedia Director. My goal is to implement various features and fix bugs, aiming to expand ScummVM’s compatibility with Macromedia Director games. ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

I’ll be sharing my progress, the ups and downs, and everything I learn along the way as I dive into this project. Stay tuned for future updates, and feel free to reach out on discord (In the ScummVM server) if you have any questions or just want to chat about classic games!
