  🚨 FEATURE ALERT! At ScummVM, we support a wide range of audio and video formats - one of the keys to our incredible versatility! And a new codec just dropped. Microsoft MPEG-4 Video version 3. Now you are probably wondering _why_ we need this codec. Well, you'll have to wait for a few days until we can disclose it... https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/92f83dddc1c79e451a888e8ac275970d835c0244 #retrogaming #retrocomputing #adventuregame #linuxgaming

  A few days ago, a new feature landed in ScummVM. The new feature allows displaying interactive hotspot markers in games. When enabled, users can press a configurable key (default 'h') to show visual markers at clickable locations, with optional text labels showing object names. The new feature needs to be implemented for each engine separately, so don't hold your breath for too long. If you want to read all the gory details, check out the PR! https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/p...

  A new engine just landed in ScummVM! Introducing: PELROCK, an engine adding support for the game "Alfred Pelrock: En Busca de un Sueño". The engine is complete with no identified major bugs and all features available. The game is only available in Spanish, but an Android re-release has an English translation, so maybe we can do something about that. #adventuregame #retrogaming #retrocomputing
