* Package name : play.it-adventure Version : 2024-09-19 Upstream Contact: Antoine Le Gonidec <vv...@dotslashplay.it> * URL : https://git.dotslashplay.it/games-adventure/about/ * License : BSD-2-Clause Programming Lang: Shell Description : Collection of game scripts used by ./play.it ./play.it is a free software building native packages from installers for Windows or Linux, mainly those sold by stores focusing on DRM-free games distribution. The goal is that a game installed via ./play.it is indistinguishable from a game installed via the official repositories of your favourite distribution. ./play.it is already packaged in Debian, cf. https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/play.it This specific collection includes only adventure games. These games usually focus on the narrative and should require no fast action from the player. Aside from the narrative, the main drives for the player should be exploration and problem solving. This games collection is a recent upstream addition, that took over the maintenance of adventure games from the community-maintained games collection (packaged as play.it-community in Debian). So with the next update of play.it-community, support for many games would be lost. Adding support for this games collection as play.it-adventure before updating play.it-community would ensure support for no game ends up temporarily unavailable. As both the upstream of ./play.it and maintainer of the current Debian-provided packages, I plan to maintain this one under the Games Team umbrella.
