Which means not only is there a new item on the blogroll, it also means I found this:

In my brief investigations, it is an engine that may suit my nefarious needs. (Ok, my needs are hardly nefarious, but they are still needs). The scripting language is suitably &#106avascript-esque, the price is right (free), and the applications are stand alone.<br><br>Sure, the engine is designed for point-n-click adventures, but, like most things, it can be abused to make puzzle games or really anything else I feel like. I'll investigate it further before too long (JetLag, anyone?) and then I'll have a new platform (like I needed more).<br><br>Anyway, enjoy killing the Queen, or whatever you have Phlegmwad do.<div> </div>
