I'm looking for an already complete game shell with menus, dialogs and GUI elements in place that I can easily wrap around my main game engine for a complete and polished game.

So you have a complete, polished game, maybe even one that has been released and is already selling well and you want to make a little more money from it. Just rip your main game out of it and sell the shell to me:) I'm looking for extra polish, menus, transitions, effects, volume controls, awesome graphics and full C/C++ source. Most of the graphics and the look will be changed for my theme of course. Bonus for cross platform, PTK or other major game engine, different game modes, installer included, fullscreen and window mode, etc.

If you have what I'm looking for and want to make some easy cash, PM me or email me with a link to your game, and all your game shell feature and specs (engine ect.) and we can discuss a good price.

I have a shell system that users xml to define gui elements and LUA to handle events and actions. You can build shell UI's with pure xml and lua. It has an action system that allows you to run actions in parrallel or sequential. So you can slide in from the right while fading alpha from 0 to 1. Or slide in and then fade.. which ever.

I havn't used it yet in a game, but I have a little test project with a shell, the code is pretty straighforward, two class objects and one of them is just a lua wrapper. Display is done with ptk2.

I'll send it to you for free if your interested. :)

Dan, yes please:) That sounds like exactly the kind of thing that I am looking for - I'll check it out.

My offer is still up for grabs, if anyone is interested.

Why not make it available for everyone, Dan? I'm especially interested in PTK extensions.

ehehe, it's a lot of work to package something up for everyone (anyone?) to use. To be really amazingly cool it should have an editor built on top of it for building the GUI elements so you dont have to play in the xml and lua files directly.

It doesn't have to be amazingly cool... just useful. And of course one of the big benefits of making something like this available is that maybe someone else will write that tool. :)
