When they say engine, do they mean there will be a map editor available with scripting and the like?

Yes and no.

Most of the time, when talking about a GameEngine, we can get 2 understand 2 things

1.- Its a map editor with game scripting (Lightwave, RPGMaker, GameCreator)
2.- Its a base code with function and precoded routines which simplyfies the way one can render scenes, movements, physics, loading of object and stuff (SDL, Panda3D)

This time, its the number 2, where you can create object of the precoded routines on which you just load and create the game. So to use this you might need to be hard knowledgeable of C++ coding. Its no as easy as map editor scripting.

I don't think there 'll ever be a map editor with scripting, like ever, and this is the closest we'll be getting to simplify our lives when trying to create a game.

I have been working with this doing some test for quite a while (6 months to be more precisse) and really, its pretty usefull in more than 1 way. Still, i need someone to help me with modeling, i'm having a hard time trying to do 3d models and stuff like that
