That's really not that much... Private engines that are pre-built can range from $800,000 to over $1,000,000... Sadly these engines you see only take about 3 years with about 5 guys working on them... Lol.

So... 1) There's instanced dungeon crawling... But instead of fighting monsters you uncover squares as if it was minesweeper. 2) There's a linear progression... (Which means the traps you uncover can be placed in a certain spot and the game then becomes easy) 3) But to counter-act that you have play...

I just want to say that this isn't bad at all... I'm working on an engine for tile based games (with ports to, SDL/Allegro (c++) and XNA (c#) and it's quite easy until you get in to extremely in-depth collision detection and the sort... Then it gets to be really painful to write.

I say just spend the extra 3-4 months and make a decent engine yourself... It's always better to use what you made than what someone else made. Granted it won't be as great as some engines out there if you only spend 3-4 months on it.

I think I'm about to cry. I can tell this engine is amazing without even seeing it in action! Seven years of development should suffice for the awesomeness that is Aerrevan. I will be a long term supporter of this for sure!

Haha wow. That's pretty awesome!

Wow. This is really great and I'm so happy the project is still going!

Trinity of Ashes has a lot of potential! It is making the game I'm developing look like crap!
Implementing AJAX scripts (from a design standpoint) is hard, I think. It looks like you did a really nice job.
I hope you find a really good Creative Writer and GL.
