Nothing shocking or unheard of here. 0 AD. These chaps wanted to mod Age of Empires II, but then after getting frustrated by the limitations and harcodings of the engine, they went on to create their own game, from scratch. And the game is going to be entirely freeware.

Funny lads those are. I mean, I am just as glad that the game is going to be free as the next guy, but how is their project going to sustain itself?? Money would definitely help. Who knows, they might yet change... But fact is fact. Check out the Wikipedia link and perhaps do a Google Image search for the game. Very interesting.
