News, stuff about the game, and the demo are available at www.timegatestudios.com." I hadn't heard much about this game, but the graphics are definitely impressive. Might be worth a download.

    I like the idea of the project, but I am concerned about the proliferation of games that are all using the same base for graphics, sound, etc.

    What happens when there are 20 different RTS games with the same sound samples and graphics tiles?

    Seems to me that this would have a negative effect, in that the creative aspect of the graphics tiles and sound samples (how your game "looks" and "sounds") would be lost.

    On another note though, I really like the idea of a GPL'ed repository of this stuff. Thanks, and great job!
