I was going to post that it would be nice to build a game that uses the scummvm engine but then I read the FAQ:

Can I use ScummVM to make new games?
While it is theoretically possible to write a new game that uses ScummVM it is not advisable. ScummVM has many hacks to support older games and no tools geared towards creating content usable by ScummVM. Potential game authors are encouraged to look at open source technologies such as SDL for a cross platform multimedia library (also used by ScummVM), and the Lua and Python scripting languages for game logic.
