Description

game ID 'dragonsphere'

Lol. I propose isolate in source level unfinished games. In module.mk move code to scope UNFINISHED_OBJS. And concatenate them if RELEASE_BUILD not set.

Os: windows, symbian.

You are not reading the messages. The game has clearly set ADGF_UNSTABLE flag. The users will be warned that the game is not supported unless they deliberately suppressed that warning.

Lol on you.

Is it normal to run unfinished games in release?

@fedor4ever

If the game in question shares a lot of the underlying engine code of an already supported game (Rex Nebula, in this case) it would be pretty useless (and a waste if time and resources) to add code which explicitly forbids the "yet not fully supported" game than to work towards supporting it completely.

Just look at the Wintermute engine/games.

May help simple exclude detection code in release build. It's good to exclude dragonsphere folder in module.mk from release build.

Fixed by adding a subengine for V2 MADS games in c6b164a0aa75ae18aa42a639c5591bef4cf316ec
