Hey guys, I'm new here and even though I don't think I'm good enough to enter the LPC coder's contest just yet I thought I'd help out the guys who are by sharing an engine created by a friend named Spodi with help of the community. www.NetGore.com

The engine is called NetGore and if you haven't heard of it you should check it out! I'll quote the description below, enjoy ^^

NetGore is a free, open source, cross-platform online RPG (MMORPG) engine written in C#. It is designed specifically with indie software developers in mind, focusing on rapid development and allowing for very flexible games. Since NetGore is free, fast, and light-weight, you can host the game of your dreams without having to worry about costs.

NetGore is able to support all kinds of 2D games, and works with both platformer and top-down perspectives. Since it is completely open source, if it doesn't natively support something you want, you always have the option to implement it yourself.
