I haven't been working on my 3D game engine for the past month as I have been learning advanced C#/ADO.NET/ASP.NET instead and that has eaten all of my time.

However, I now recognize some inefficiencies in my engine and need to update them anyways. Luckely I designed it modularly so all I need to update is my networking code and the object hiearchy, and maybe some ghosting stuff.

This has shown me that I need to get some more practice with networking/remoting/ghosting before I hard-code too much into my 3D engine. Therefore, to put Rabid Net to the test and to vastly improve it, I will be making another 2D game :)

So.... What to make, what to make....

I'm mostly worried about that if I switch over to remoting, which will make ghosting and networking in general a lot faster and simpler, that it won't be as secure. Anybody know much about security when remoting in .NET, as in cryptography and not just authentication? I'm wondering if it will let me send the message through a sink chain before it sends it over.

I also need to create a resouces module in my 3D game engine to handle all resources in one place and use XML instead of hard code. More, too :/ I wish I had more time.
