Still a lot of time before I'll have something to release, but my game engine is now fully functional, and a lot of fun to mess around with.
I'm over 2800 hrs in http://i.imgur.com/jDgSoOp.png and I'm targeting a 3000 hour update for the demo release.
About the game: It is a 2-d megametroidmanvania hybrid with 2 player co-op. The game mechanics are working good, even in 2P so the focus now is on building a demo level for people to try out.
Put together some assets last night for a rough layout for the demo level:

Let me know what you think of the level art.
Will attempt to get a game mechanics video up some time this weekend to show off the engine.
Lots to do, Peace out.
