This game just looks ridiculous(ly awesome), my head has exploded 8 times already.

As my friend pointed out, this can't be considered an RTS, it is more of a TTS game (think about it).

I have to admit it sounded gimmicky, but after watching the videos it really does look cool. Keeping track of everything seems difficult, at least to me, but hardcore gamers will probably love this.

Yeah, I heard of this a few days ago - it's certainly a very interesting concept, but I wish the game had better graphics.

Apparently, they have done almost nothing outside of getting the engine to work.
In other words: they are getting the unique part down, are currently looking for a publisher/bigger dev team to do the fanciful stuff (graphics, storyline, everything but gameplay)

Oh, I didn't realize that - looks like it could become a really great game, then.

I've known of this and it looks freaking sweet. I like the whole set units to follow one units commands so as to use less chrono energy in the past and sending the survivors of a battle back in time to the beginning of the battle so more survive. Although this does seem very terminator-y (Not exactly a bad thing).

Oh, wacky. I hope it doesn't stall - the RTS genre hasn't seen all that much innovation lately. It would be nice to see something different, though I fear this might just end up as a gimmick.
