Purpose: The idea behind NetGore is to provide a strong foundation to build a game off of, and to provide the implementation of all the fundamental components involved in 2D online games. That way, people can spend their time with what makes their game unique and stand apart from the rest.

Target audience: NetGore is intended for online multiplayer 2D games only. Although the focus is towards platformer RPGs, most any kind of 2D game that is not twitch-based (such as fast-paced shooters) is fine. You can also switch to a top-down perspective easily enough.

Features: More details for features can be found on the site, but in short, most of the basic online RPG features are there. There is chatting, items/equipment, skills, stats, a GUI system/skinning, particle engine, NPC dialogs and AI, shops, and all those goodies.
