This is a great way to refactor abstractions that have developed leaks under the pressure of delivery. I'm actually in the process of doing something similar with a server-side implementation that has gotten too intimate with the client code. Building a completely new client for a different problem domain shakes out the dependencies quickly.

What we're founding out now though is that cleaning up the engine while building a new little game was the easy part.

Making the main game work properly again with the refactored engine is taking way longer than we thought it would...
