My aims are very modest.  On the Scumm front (Day of the Tentacle is one of
my favourites) there is ScummVM a free cross-platform engine for playing the
old LucasArts etc games.

Good luck, I'd be interested in keeping in touch with what you're doing.

I think there is a market for a cross between interactive stories and
multimedia games with an accent on the story-telling.  Cyan's "Uru" could be
big too (but as there's no Mac client yet I won't be trying that.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
