The <a href="http://www.igf.com/2004entrants.shtml" target="_blank">entrants</a> for the <a href="http://www.igf.com/" target="_blank">Independant Games Festival</a> of 2004 have been revealed. A total of 110 have been entered with varying development times and costs. There sure is a variety of games ranging from RTS's to FPS "simulations." Some of the more interesting include:
<br>
<blockquote>
<br>
<a href="http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entries.php?entry_id=47" target="_blank">Project Salus</a>
<br>
<br>
Project Salus is a hybrid of a simulation and a Role-Playing game set in a post-apocalyptic near-future. You are the manager of your community's fallout shelter, and it is your responsibility to ensure their survival and guide them in their emergence back into the outside world.
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entries.php?entry_id=64" target="_blank">ShadowFire</a>
<br>
<br>
ShadowFire is a space-simulation role-playing game. ShadowFire uses its own independently developed engine to combine the fast-paced battles of a space-simulation game in addition to the story-driven, upgradeable and explorable aspect of a console rpg. Most settings take place in closed labyrinth-type areas.
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entries.php?entry_id=88" target="_blank">Singularity</a>
<br>
<br>
An action-rpg taking place in a dark, cyberpunk future. You play the role of Damen and Tali to exact revenge on a megacorporation that double crossed you, but get involved in a much larger plot that questions the meaning of existence.</blockquote>
<br>
At least <a href="http://www.ra2083.com/" target="_blank">Restricted Area</a> isnt the only Cyberpunk RPG currently in development.
<br>
<br>
Of course anyone of these games <i>could</i> turn out to be the next <a href="http://www.spidweb.com/geneforge" target="_blank">Geneforge</a>.

No, I'm fairly certain this is the next Geneforge, literally speaking. Other games could be as good as the one you mentioned, though.
