So what exactly is this? This is a free and open-source game engine and toolkit, that allows the creation of games of the platform genre. The basic idea of this project is to make it possible for every user to create platformers with existing or self-drawn sprites. The first work on the project began in December 2013, and the project was founded in March of 2014. The project is formerly known as PGE Project (a.k.a. Platform Game Engine Project).
This Project is currently under development, but as of now, everything is available for review and testing. There Devkit packages were available. The separated Runtime Engine isn't available yet. However, it is already within the Devkit.

Note: I desired to simplify this post to simplify its maintenance and keep all detailed information in the centralized place (such as Moondust Wiki, Official Page, and GitHub) rather than copying and synchronizing it between multiple forums.
