About
The Chewy engine implements support for the game Chewy: Esc From F5. Two versions of the engine were merged in over time. The first was a partial implementation by md5 based on reverse engineering of the game that was added on October 15, 2016. Later on, the team was granted access to mid-development sources to use as a reference. Based on them, a new version of the engine was started from scratch, and this was finally completed and merged in on March 3, 2022.
TODO
- Although it's merged in, various cleanups and renaming of code for better clarity is still underway.
- Some spoken lines, particularly in the intro cutscene don't play. There may be some custom extensions to the sound format the original does that the current ScummVM sound decoders can't yet handle.
- An original bug happens where some inventory look descriptions overflow the display area of the inventory dialog. Manual fixes for several of them have already been done, but at some point someone will need to go through the full list of items and verify each's description displays correctly.
