Game Beavers Try Collective Approach To Development

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to the Game Beavers independent game site, which bills itself as "a non profit corporation owned and managed by its licensed members." This ambitious project explains that those who can participate must "...have contributed at least three game assets and have signed the legal agreement allowing the other members the rights to use their submitted assets", which "includes code, 3D models, maps, game levels, textures, music, sound, and everything needed to build a game except the engine." This game engine currently needs to be the $100-per-programmer Torque Engine from GarageGames, who also mention the launch on their site. The Game Beavers site include a sample Windows game built using shared assets, Beaver Patrol, and the site FAQ has more information on the overall concept.
