Hey,

Been here for a while, Done some various things with the RTS kit myself. However, Ive only seen 1-2 games/projects under development with the kit.

Anyone know some currently active RTS kit projects/games?

is done with the RTS kit.

Been working on it for 2.5 years, full-time. (I quit my old job to do this project.)

Yes, Geom is one the most important RTS kit projects on the wild, and he did an awesome job till now.

The Pocketwatch award winners Venture Africa and Venture Artic, are RTS kit based as well.

Also Pelorea: Tactical War uses RTS kit components (at least the RTS camera)

Besides some of us are working on improving the kit itself, keeping alive the community and documenting as we can. And, Im pretty sure Im forgoting about some other projects.

Anyway, is quite surprising not to find more RTS projects given the quantity and quality of art accompanying the RTS community. Much of it has to be with the controversial status of the kit itself, something we are in process of improve.

Also, Dreamlords is an RTS and uses Torque.

But it uses TGEA, not TGE. It'd be interesting to know if they grafted in pieces from the RTS-SK or not.
