So, how do I make games for ResidualVM? Is there an API? Documentation? Anything?

You don't make games for residual, you can make an engine to run a game in residual. ResidualVM is like ScummVM it is an interpreter for games (it replaces the original exe file) not a tool for developing a game.

I think Minkovsky already knows this, the needed engine to run a game in residual is grimE.
The search for a software tool able to compile scummvm-compatible games is a FAQ in scummvm forums, so he doesn't surprise me. And in that place the frequent answer is either scummgen or scummc. The birth of these projects happened when people knew enough stuff about the real scumm compiler.
Here the question is not "how does grimE work?" because this question is answered by residual itself, but "how does a compiler for grimE work? how much do we know about it?" instead. If someone in the world has ever asked these questions, then probably a grimE compiler exist or is on the way to be developed and it is the tool Minkovsky is searching for. Maybe google may help in this.
