Thought it may be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to websites articles we post from time to time, the "Other games" thread is getting confusing -- Anyhow, IGN has a new section I found interesting to read through, called Life Support, it's about games that have been cancelled, indefinitely postponed (Duke Nukem Forever), suddenly come back to life/development, etc. It's a fun read. It's not by any means complete of course, an obvious example (to us) is the missing X-Com Alliance and X-Com Genesis, but oh well, it's entertaining

I've been reading the whole site, and I got attracted towards this particular project. As it seemed interesting and you had something to show (i.e. install and play), I went to your Codeplex project site to see what additional info was there and to downloand whatever you had there. So, imagine my surprise when I click on the link to download the software and get confronted with this: I am no lawyer, but if I were you I'd start checking any EULA you might have clicked "I agree" for being allowed to host your software in Codeplex. I read the whole download agreement, and in no place gets mentioned the creator or creators (i.e. you, by name or collective)) of the software (in this case, Xcom: colonisation), just "Microsoft authorizes this" and "Microsoft grants that". Or are you all working for Microsoft? When you deem the game is finished, will you be able to publish it, say, under GPL if you want? Or are you chained to Microsoft license? (dramatically)Are we going to see "Xcom: Colonisation" under another name and the Microsoft logo?

If you're interested in being something more than a casual observer of Project Colonisation and believe you have a skill that could help bring XCom6 to life then come in here and meet the staff! This is a topic for all of the currently active members of staff to post a little about themselves and for any prospective members to join the team so whichever you are tell us a little about yourself! Your name, your skills, and if you alreadyhelp the project then how are you currently contributing?
