Make Your Own Point And Click Adventures

Posted by simoniker on from the scumm-of-the-earth dept.

Thanks to Jakob for pointing to a Boomtown.net article discussing independent developers keeping point and click adventures alive on the PC. The article is headed "..most of us remember with fondness the Monkey Island era of point and clicks, but now fans of the genre are making their own", and has links to a number of fan/indie-developed games such as Pleurghburg: Dark Ages or the in-development Project Joe, plus free adventure game engines such as Adventure Game Studio and AGAST.

    Don't forget ScummVM, based off Lucas Arts engine. You can use it to code your own.

    We've been working on it (very part time) for bloody ages and we're finally coming to the point where the engine is working well and the graphics are coming together too!

    Hooray for us.
