Can't wait to see an Alpha release. As I said before, when you get to the scripting interface (and if you want help) let me know. I'm more then interested, as my current pet project (JumpStart) has been quite the learning experience on Lua (and other languages) integration.

On that note, the sooner that you can get it to a point that you feel comfortable with others aiding the better off . I know that there is a really good thread on GameDev about a new isometric engine that is being worked on. Can't get to GameDev right now, but soon as I can I'll post some of the things I thought were good ideas .
