It would be great to have a game that runs only on Vampire and using its capabilities to show what it's really made of, like Metal Dust did with the SuperCPU as mentioned above. But it'll be hard in the current dev community to come up with a game of that capability and quality.
Sandruzzo, the OP, has been working a lot in converting Rygar to ECS, for years now, with complications especially in getting assets, and we're talking about a conversion. He is sadly pretty much alone on working on it. I don't see how he could enjoy having to fill up those "big shoes" that come with increased performance. Also there's the issue that without a Vampire, you can't code for it, because there's no emulation for things like AMMX. And is there any assembler package that works with this new stuff?
