It is sunday here 9:52 AM (actually the next sunday to when this original topic was posted).
Anyway, as an answer to your question, the EVO-CE will not be released yet. First of all, I need to email Andrew Welch again about permission to make the engine, because I don't want to break copyright laws. Second of all, the engine is turning into a big project, and if I get permission to make it from Ambrosia, then it will be released within a few months. As far as supporting plugins goes, well, we'll have to see about it.
This is exam week, so I might not have a lot of time to do things with it. Maybe so. We will see.
Anyway, your enthusiasm makes me very inspired, so keep it up!
