I bought the Dark Game Studio Bonanza pack quite some time ago (and if I waited just a bit longer, I could have bought the TGC Bumper Winter Deal. Que sera, sera, I suppose.)

As you know, the package comes with eXtends, which is not supported by newer operating systems. I have found various alternatives for the majority of the eXtends features, like pixel perfect collision detection, 3D Billboarding, Custom Particles etc., but the major thing I am missing is the dynamic sky system.

Are there any good alternatives available? DarkClouds looks absolutely amazing, but it is a bit pricey for me at the moment.
