Hey TIGForums. I thought you might like to know about the
Open Range project - a "fundamentals-of-game-design" initiative to create freeware, open-source cross-platform games. These will be extremely lightweight, "no-BS" games. You run them and you're IMMEDIATELY making interesting, meaningful decisions, and that does not stop until you win or lose (yes, they have win or loss conditions). I was inspired by board games (and their digital versions) as well as older Windows games such as Sean O'Connor's SLAY.
Here's the link describing exactly what the Open Range project is in more detail:

http://dinofarm.forumbuild.com/index.phpThanks, and let me know what you think of this project.
Note to mods - I hope that this post is OK to put here. I read the rules and introduced myself in the Obligatory Introductory Thread - please have mercy if I've made some sort of error.
