It's originally MS-Windows oriented, and lets the user create 2D, 2.5D (using 3D characters in a 2D environment) and 3D games for free. During the first semester of 2011, a WME developer, Mnemonic, created WME Lite in a move to make WME more portable. WME Lite runs "only" WME 2D games with a sub-set of available features, and runs on Windows, iOS and MacOS. | ||
After some discussion with Mnemonic, it appears that the engine should be backward compatible, and that development since last version (v1.9.1, on 1/1/2010) | After some discussion with Mnemonic, it appears that the engine should be backward compatible, and that development since the last version (v1.9.1, on 1/1/2010) has been slow, so it's a good time to work on the integration of the Wintermute Engine (2D) into ScummVM. This will be based on WME Lite sources, available on [http://code.google.com/p/wmelite Google Code]. | ||
