Sounds great, and no rush at all!
There have already been two really minor bugs found and fixed so the current version publicly available will be getting regular updates. May not be a bad idea to let this one age so-to-speak ;)
Any way, yes the engine is unbelievably friendly and one I highly recommend if you want to make a game like this.
Looking forward to seeing how your game comes together because it looks AWESOME! Saw that pumpkin upload today and loved it :D
