About

AWE is the name given for the Another World Engine. It aims to eventually play all the different releases of Another World. Currently only the original DOS and Windows 3.1 versions are supported. Amiga version is playable but not extensively tested.

Games supported

TODO

  • Sound and music playback may not 100% match the original (see bug #16015)
  • The 15th and 25th Anniversary Editions aren't yet supported. The rawgl project the engine is based on has a special OpenGL driver implementation for these releases, which will require someone familiar with OpenGL in ScummVM to look into supporting.
  • Also, once done, the anniversary editions will still require further work to support their main menus and difficulty selection.
  • I've been informed that the Linux release of the Anniversary edition on GOG has debug symbols embedded, so when the time comes, that will definitely be helpful in reversing and reimplementing the menus.
