It's certainly a worthy effort. Having high-level libraries in D are a good
way of getting people to learn it faster by trying things they find fun
(such as making games).

But I think I'll take another route if I have the time to write games in D.
I don't think I would like to make a game using one of those anymore (I had
a sorta bad experience with Ogre in which it kept getting on my way, or
maybe I was just silly and disliked its style; in any case, I'd rather do
things from scratch now, since it's also good for learning).

In any case, two efforts are better than one. Much appreciated! I hope we
can help ourselves out. :)
