Threshold (2D platformer/shooter) WIP - explosions, dynamic lights, particles

I know I've been really inactive lately! Long story short: Adventure in Rulon is on hiatus. I'm working on a 2D platformer now. Information about it here:
http://www.hadrosaurus.net/threshold/

The site is only blog entries documenting my progress over the last few weeks, with no actual information on the project itself. That is to come in the next few weeks as I get the site in order. Until then, check out this demo vid of the engine so far.

In this video I show off: projectiles, hitscan weapons, projectile explosions, dynamic lights, actors gibbing when they die, and particle effects. The video is dark (on purpose, to show off the lights). That, combined with YouTube's compression make some things hard to see. It helps if you crank it up to 480p.

Enjoy!

(Oh, and don't mind the stolen Abuse and DOOM sprites... those are obviously just placeholders while the engine's still in development. :-) )
