I am not dead, and this is what I have been doing in case anyone cares:

PlaneShader is a high-speed 2D rendering engine, which at some point will have a lot of really cool features, but right now just has all the basics.

- Image manipulation
- Dynamic optimization
- Grouping and parent/child relationships
- Depth (z-axis)
- Advanced culling
- Tilesets
- Animation
- Sprite animation generation
- GUI system
- Masking
- Particle system (Not GPU based yet)
- Limited shader support as of v0.9
- Gradients
- Vista/win7 Desktop composition

Cooler features like a built in lighting system, per-image shaders and distortion will be put in later after I have a working demo of my game. Keep in mind that this is an alpha test, and while it probably doesn't have any serious leaks or bugs, I would not recommend using it in production.

If it has depth, doesn't that make it a limited 3D engine/2.5D?

I the context of 2D rendering, I would assume that depth would also be known as layering, which does not make it 2.5D or limited 3D.
