Thimbleweed Park in ScummVM

Now it’s official Thimbleweed Park is available in ScummVM 🎉

I’m happy to announce the availability of Thimbleweed Park in ScummVM, it’s official now!

I’ve been working on integrating Thimbleweed Park into ScummVM. I’d been approached a while back about integrating engge into ScummVM, but didn’t feel ready at the time.

I started working on this integration in December 2023 and regularly post my progress on youtube.

It all began with a POC (proof of concept):

Later, the ScummVM team warmly invited me to join their team, which I gladly accepted.

In the course of this work, I’ve been able to improve some of the shortcomings present in engge and engge2, and the game should now be faster in certain phases of the game (notably in the library), while the shader handling the lighting has also been improved + various small enhancements.

I hope this will please some of you, and don’t hesitate to leave me a comment if you wish.

More in the next episode.
