Hello there Kildorf, every so often I stop by the verge site either to download something I need :) but also always hoping verge is still being worked on. I will always love verge, I think we are all going to have a place in our hearts for whatever ide and or programming language we learn to code.
So I am must say I'm very happy to see your update. ^o^ Downloading now...

Ill just throw this out there -- anyone using Unity atm? I'd love to marry verge to Unity -... cheers
Zonker! Glad to hear from you. :) Verge was definitely on my mind pretty constantly while working on SimpleQuest (and, while I continue to work on the Next Thing). I can't say I miss everything about VergeC ;) but I definitely miss a lot about the engine and everything around it. I miss having that community around and active. When did we get so old?
I've used Unity a little and I can't say it's my favourite, but some people have done some pretty awesome things with it. It could definitely do a 2d tile engine... (before I switched to the web-based stuff I was actually starting to build SimpleQuest in Unity).
I'm studying Game Design and we have to use Unity and it's pretty good for 2DGames. Tilemaps is a great way to create your map pretty fast and the alpha version of the new unity version even has 2D Light.... and c# is an easy language.
Godot is a complete free alternative and made a huge leap forward last year. It use an own python like language, very easy to understand and you can create 2D and 3D games.
