Windows-only sigh

How difficult would it be to port this?

edit: it's not a snarky, rhetorical, question – I really want to play this

So you'd have to port the Multimedia Fusion 1.5 (MMF) engine he used to make the game in. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multimedia_Fusion

That thing is going to be closed source, ancient, and not actively maintained. 1.5 seems to have been released in 2001.

Why don't you download a free MS VM from https://www.modern.ie/en-gb/virtualization-tools#downloads and then try it on there using something like VMWare or VirtualBox

Were later versions of MMF somehow not backwards-compatible?

[Torn]

No idea; a quick Google tells me there were some compatibility issues

Heh.

I work on Gang Garrison 2, a game still actively developed which is also reliant on a dead game creation tool (Game Maker 8.0), so this is sadly familiar.

Do you know what happened to the project to redo GG2 in Python?

[TazeTSchnitzel]

It got abandoned after a bit. Nobody is willing to do the work needed to "finish" it.

[pantalaimon]

It works fine with wine.

[mas644]

I can confirm this.

Wine is always worth a try.

If there are any problems, (1) make a reportable Wine bug (2) report it to the dev, who may be able to help.

I would try it with Wine and see.

With Wine everything is fine
