Okay, so recently I completed my Seiken Densetsu 3 engine with C++/OpenGL using sfml library but that probably won't help anyone here...much.
So what I proclaim is to release the system for RPG Maker VX Ace due to Ruby 1.9.2, and for those that are more adventurous Unity using 2D Toolkit. The kit will have 2d toolkit included however you're now allowed to actually 'start' a new project with 2d toolkit without purchasing or you can edit the kit to your needs (it saves ya $65).
Pretty close to having a sword demo ready with ace, just got to get events to move by degrees not x/y.
