Great game! Would gladly convert it to Visionaire Studio from AGS so that mobile and console ports can easily be made!

You can run it through ScummVM...

True, but i guess he needs to make some money also here...

ScummVM can be used commercially

Indeed, but not for console ports

Apparently, even for those. The ScummVM team offered a proprietary license to Nightdive when they remastered Blade Runner. Nightdive refused, unfortunately.

From what i know, it's not possible to use ScummVM for console ports due to it's open source agreement. Console giants will never accept this because it will violate their closed SDK distribution license. From the information available on the net, it seems that the restriction on the console porting distribution was the reason that all negos between ScummVM and Nightdive stopped. Nevertheless, would love to know more about this proprietary license you mention; if such is possible this could open alot of possibilities.

Multiple console ports have been made with ScummVM, AFAIK. The Humongous game ports come to mind.

Anyhow. To this day ScummVM team members claim that they offered NightDive a way to relicense, for a fee they thought reasonable.

A couple days ago I saw an archived Reddit post from what looked like ScummVM devs talking about the situation.

I'd love to know more myself. And yes, it would open tremendous possibilities.

Thank you! There may be adaptations on consoles soon.
