well I decided to start on a 2d browser based engine much like eclipse but built in the browser. It will have less features per say but more adaptability to php and JS for far more feature options. Also no download and runs right in the browser.
I will use QOC as the test game and here is what I have so far.
yes the character can walk around but no collisions are not done. Working on them next.

to be honest with you i wasn't sure it would be very possible to make a collision system based on a background image like I have above but I managed to do it! I will throw a demo up tonight but basically each map has a 208 point database driven collision system.
Basically the database pulls the appropriate map depending on the players location then builds the collisions from the same table using a boolean process. It is still a little off due to pixels not lining exactly but its getting there

Is the map like Forsaken Sanctum where you have to click on squares or WASD movement?

you can now test it
http://indie-resource.com/QOC/login.php
username: test
password: test
it seemed to have a delay on loading with me but it could have been all the garbage I had running. I may need to optimize the code.
Collisions are working just not perfect. None of the links work, Just use the WASD keys to walk around and let me know what you think.
