Thinking Of Checking Out a New Engine Or Even Mine

Is that a question or a statement? (Are you asking or telling?)

Statement. Telling.

Then maybe Blogs is a better place to tell us about your project's progress. Just sayin', you could add to your existing blog or your existing Projects entry:

https://www.gamedev.net/projects/5489-harvest-fall

Since you're not asking for advice or opinions on which way to go, good luck with your decision whether to check out your own engine or a new engine.
