Nope, Kitae isn't dead, it's just sleeping (a little).
Some of the stuff added recently includes:

- Undo buffer for the Game Editor.
- New extensions library for WinForms, allows you to easily consume Kitae in WinForms controls.
- New SpriteActor rendering mode which allows for tiled sprite rendering (texturing).
- New SpriteActor edge cropping.
- New simple TileMap culling.
- New examples such as the Windows Forms Test shown in the shot below:

Things are progressing with Kitae, just at a very slow pace. Hopefully I'll be able to make clear why this is within the next month or so, and hopefully you'll understand.
