Nonono, you're fine, what I'm looking for is a lightweight engine 
that ISN'T like Unity or Unreal and the sophisticated nature of 
their tools. Often, their engine design decisions back me into a 
corner when it comes to how I want to organize my own project, 
and they're oftentimes overkill.

About the only thing I would want to keep from those two monster 
engines is some live compilation feature where changes in source, 
assets, or UI scripting are immediately apparent in-game. But 
that takes a massive amount of work, I understand if it's not a 
priority. You have to port the thing to D in the first place, a 
significant undertaking in and of itself.

What you have seems to be great, so I'll follow it eagerly.
