Even as a regular reader of the games section I have no idea what hides itself behind the name "Darwinia". Other products have to appear a few times before you can omit the description (by now everyone knows what a DS or a Phantom is) but in the last few months this... uh... Is that a game? hasn't been mentioned once. I mean, hell this is an indy program, it's not in everybody's mouth as some other things trolls might want descriptions for. First guess was MMORPG but the site doesn't seem to uphold this. Unfortunately the/. effect makes it unfeasible to find out.
Besides, does this qualify as interesting news? Why not give us weekly or monthly summaries of all the games (even indy ones) released in that timeframe instead of having to be selective about what you post and having some articles read like advertisements?

Um, vapourware?
I'm pretty sure it exists, what with the demo and all.
Also, graphics don't make a game. Even if they're crap, try the demo. Who knows, you might just like it. I definately do.

I just beat the demo.
This is the greatest RTS ever made.
Sorry Total Annihilation, it's over.

Better than all of the fantasy RTS type games that have been coming out recently. Breath of fresh air to the genre.
Only thing I could see becoming a little bit annoying is the gestures.
I enjoyed the demo; can't wait to try the full game!
