Wow guys, I just bought this month's issue of Micromanía, and what a surprise, a little reference to the Wintermute Engine!!!

Here is the small article:

The translation is:

Improving "Syberia 2"? Prove it!

Wintermute Engine is an adventure game creator with 2D backgrounds and 3D characters, which permits to design games like "Syberia 2" or "Sherlock Holmes: The silver earring" without programming knowlowedge. And moreover, it's translated to spanish. Do you want to try it?

You will find it at:

I think no-one told Micromanía about it, so that means they found it by thenlselves and decided to talk about it in the same way!

Micromanía is the most popular PC games magazine in Spain, so I think this will attract some new spanish users... Manuel, get ready!!  ;D

WOW! Cool!  O0

[Nitpicking]
"...without programming knownledge..." is not 100% correct. They should have said "with little programming knownledge".

And they should have used also the dead-code.org link and mention Jan as the creator....

Yes, I noticed about the programming thingie. And they should have stated that it's possible to use 2D characters as well, not only 3D, and a lot of other things... but it's a smaill square after all, maybe next time they'll do a complete article, with an interview to Jan included :D

Hey, I don't mind sending after I finish reading it, but I don't know if he would want it, being a so small "article"...

OFFTOPIC to Mr. odnorf :D

The sig displays "I need blood." three times (wow you're thirsty :P)... so I think it's updating, but not in your computer for some reason...

hehehe, I'm playing that too... if it weren't for its crappy use of the awesome Source engine which makes playability suck, it would be a game comparable to Deus Ex, one of my favourite RPG of that kind. Anyway I intend to finish it, if I don't get sick because of the choppy gameplay, infinite loading times, et-cetera.  ::hijack

That won't be necessary, the scan is good enough for me ;)
