Reloading Escoria
Make point and click adventure games under Godot great again
Escoria is a Libre framework for the creation of point-and-click adventure games with MIT-Licenced Godot Engine. Since its release, Godot Engine changed a lot at fast pace while Escoria code was still based on old Godot 1.x features.
In this presentation, I'll present the current state of Escoria and discuss the process of rewrite as a Godot Engine plugin. It'll cover architecture and design, allowing adventure game creators to use Godot Engine as a full-featured editor for their adventure game.
Escoria is a Libre framework for the creation of point-and-click adventure games with MIT-Licenced Godot Engine. It was initially developed for the adventure game The Interactive Adventures of Dog Mendonça and Pizzaboy® and later streamlined for broader usages and open sourced as promised to the backers of the Dog Mendonça Kickstarter campaign. Since its release, Godot Engine changed a lot at fast pace while Escoria code was still based on old Godot 1.x features. It is more a collection of dedicated scripts than a proper Godot Engine layer designed for point and click adventure games. Evolving Escoria is quite a big task, so it might be better to actually start it over with a new project architecture while keeping its most interesting features in the process.

Godot is an incredible open source game engine. Among it key features, it comes packed with a script language called GDscript and loosely based on Python. But could it be even better ? Could we use the real Python to code our game on Godot ? And maybe even more important, is it really a good idea ?

According to the interwebs, Java is one of the most popular programming languages in the multiverse. And yet, when it comes to games, its popularity seems to dwindle. Why though... Is it really not suited for game development? Is the language as bad as the critics claim?? Is GC...EVIL!? I have this side-project of porting Doom 3 from C/C to Java. And even though Doom 3 is a ~15 year old game, it is still a massive AAA code-base. So I believe my experiences there can adequately answer a lot of ...
