This engine was added by the [[Summer of Code|GSoC]] student [[User:somaen|somaen]] to ScummVM as part of the [[Summer of Code|Google Summer of Code]] in [[Summer of Code/GSoC2012#Wintermute integration in ScummVM|2012]].

The 3D part of the engine was implemented by the GSOC student [[User:Fury|Fury]] as part of the [[Summer of Code/GSoC2020|GSoC 2020]]. | |||
Once complete, this engine would add support to more than fifty 2D and 2.5D games, would give the users a nice way to create games supported by ScummVM, and would bring to Dead:Code the portability of which they dream. | |||

* Most games assume the availability of the Windows-fonts (particularly arial.ttf) at this point no fallback has been put in place for using FreeFonts as replacements, simply for lack of having them easily accessible to the engines at this point. So, at least arial.ttf should be put in either the game-folder or made available through the extras-folder for now, otherwise kGUIBigFont will be used as a replacement. | * Most games assume the availability of the Windows-fonts (particularly arial.ttf) at this point no fallback has been put in place for using FreeFonts as replacements, simply for lack of having them easily accessible to the engines at this point.
