Thank you for the piece you shared, I really appreciate it. The project I was talking about isn't that complex or huge, although can be a bit big, and based of my knowledge about Mono, I think it can fit here (also based of my experience in .Net in general)... I'm also taking it as a chance to learn something new ;)
Well, you're right, I had a look at Unity, but correct me if I'm wrong, isn't it of the kind that works-with-Mono, instead of built-with-Mono. Sorry, I just don't know much about Unity, and skimming through their website previously, didn't really help in that matter. Any reference will be very much appreciated. Thanks again.
