Nice project. :thumbup:
Unfortunately, I am not able too join. I lack the necessary skills (C++), and I don't have any experience with engines except Game Maker 4 (if we can call that an engine). But I wish you good luck with it.
Piece of advice: whatever happens, don't stop working on it. Such a project is a great manner to test the possibillities of your engine, so even if it fails you still have some valuable info that may come in handy when starting a new project.
