Theres, as with any programming, a curve, but it's not impossible to learn.
I'd say explore your options. Don't use allegro just because ZC uses it, but if it's the best thing for your needs, then go ahead and use it. :thumbsup:
Well, I am. I like asking the same question to different people. I asked this on some forums like gamedev and 3dbuzz, and the sdl forum, and this forum.

And dont judge Allegro just because ZC uses it. :tongue:
I've seen a very well done console style rpg in it before, and Ninja Gaiden 4.
