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! :D

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.

Starred by bakpakin on Github. :awesome:

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.
