Editing ScummVM (section)

===Developer support===
According to Sandulenko "there is no typical process" when it comes to collaboration with developers: "Everything is ad-hoc. What we do, we try to search for contact info of people who were working on the titles some developer is interested in, and we're inquiring access to their original source code, if it still exists somewhere. Then we start working on it at our own pace".<ref>{{cite web|first=Goran |last=Damnjanovic |url=https://levvvel.com/scummvm/ |title=ScummVM is a Magic Box That Runs Classic Adventures |publisher=Levvvel |date=March 18, 2020}}</ref>

With increased attention, ScummVM has entered into favorable agreements with adventure game developers to help bring their titles into the engine, or in some cases, being given source code and other assets to work from. [[Revolution Software]] helped the developers with source code and technical advice for its games, and once ScummVM supported the company's [[Virtual Theatre]] engine, Revolution released ''[[Lure of the Temptress]]'' and ''[[Beneath a Steel Sky]]'' as [[freeware]] and provided assets from its first two ''[[Broken Sword]]'' games in an open media format. The renewed interest in these games from younger players enabled Revolution to work on two more ''Broken Sword'' games.<ref name="arstech scummvm"/> Other developers that have worked closely with ScummVM include:
