Młodzi Amerykanie grają w Powstanie Warszawskie

BIBULA-pismo niezalezne: "
Hitem w USA jest gra, w której gracze wcielają się w młodych żołnierzy Szarych Szeregów, dla których najważniejsza w życiu jest miłość do ojczyzny.
Gra zebrała za oceanem świetne recenzje. Pierwszy nakład, 250 egzemplarzy, sprzedał się na pniu. Dodruk 100 kolejnych również zniknął błyskawicznie. Stworzył ją Amerykanin Jason Morningstar. Jest to gra fabularna (RPG) o tytule 'Grey Ranks. Child Soldiers, Warsaw, 1944'. Wydana nakładem niszowego wydawnictwa Bully Pulpit Games, rekonstruuje wydarzenia Powstania Warszawskiego. Na kolejne wydania niewielkie wydawnictwo nie ma już jednak pieniędzy."

Currently, scripting support is implemented to allow a Lua script to be put directly in the game file, which can be validated as XML. Multiplayer text based adventure-style games can be played with the existing console rendering engine.

Cross-platform 2D game creation framework. GPL

Flexible Isometric Fallout-like Engine 2008.0
Games can be created with a combination of engine, editor tools, game specific scripts, and game content (e.g. maps, graphics, and sounds). The framework is not tied to any type of game (e.g. RTS, RPG), but instead provides a flexible platform for all of them. It supports different isometric views and a pure top-down view. Instead of full 3D flexibility, the engine focuses mainly on using high quality 2D graphics. This puts fewer demands on target platforms and also simplifies the framework and game development.
