First of all, beautiful web design, just by that I got hooked in the project, it shows a great first impression.

The engine looks awesome, I haven't try it yet, but just by looking at the API I can see that it's really well made. Although I wished the documentation was finished. I will totally keep an eye on this project.

Looking GREAT!

Your pixel art is great and, as others have mentioned, you have an awesome taste in UI design.

You mention that Vertex Adventure is "set in a middle ages of the future." Can you give us more info on that?

That sounds truly interesting, Andrew! I definitely felt the SuperBrothers vibe from your early graphics. The setting background story sounds awesome too, I'd love to see where it goes.

Beautiful web design on the site - that itself is a praise-worthy project. I'm interested where this game will go, but also how useful and scalable the engine will be.

As others have mentioned before, great website! Grid looks very interesting too, I was planning on building something similar but I may give Grid a try to see if it can do what I had in mind.
