Hi there and welcome
Mass Effects GUI has two setups, one for ingame and one for menus and inventory. In theory you could mimic the same behavior as there is nothing really fancy going on.
Deadspace goes the same but displays it inside the actual 3D environment, next to the player. So a GUI that keeps a position relative to the player.
Each of those ideas can be translated but require additional coding.
Just as a sidenote, so you see the differences why these games have UIs this way
For Deadspace the UI also has a purpose other than just looking cool ! It is to keep the player in the game while selecting something, so when creatures approach him there is no artificial pause "saving" the player to think what to do.
That is the exact opposite of what Mass Effect is doing where you can pause ANYTIME to make moves or plan strategies WHILE playing.
In general every system has a basic functionality , but comparing this with a specific game is kind of wrong for the simple reason that those games are very specifically designed, so is the entire technology around themI am interested, how powerfull cafu gui editor is?
