[casual_games] Licensable engines for Club Penguin / Habbo style game

[Chris Cowherd]

You might have a look at the Eletrotank Universe
Platform<http://www.electro-server.com/> (also
at http://www.eupsite.com/) <http://www.eupsite.com/>
I can't vouch for it as I haven't used it.  We were in the same boat as you
but we needed some significant features that were missing from the options
available at the time so we are rolling our own.  Our background is in
server side development so its our cup of tea.
