This is an unusual game development concept, but has the potential to do really well. Essentially you sign up (with a legal agreement), and contribute game resources to the group, then you're allowed to use any of the resources in your game (with appropriate credits).
What do people reckon - think this is a good model, or are there too many flaws in it for you?

What's the incentive for people to contribute (is getting credit enough)? Content takes time to make, especially decent stuff. [:)] What's to stop people from joining and just taking and not giving? And I kinda feel that once there are some decent models up, it's just going to appear in every game development project that takes part in that idea.
It's a noble idea, but it'll depend on people's generosity and willingness to share if it's to be a success..

No, it's derived from blitzkrieg. Blitz is the name i've used when playing games since i started playing 15 odd years ago :P (although in those days it usually had to be shortend to BLI or BLZ :P)
Souri: The incentive to contribute is to get access to the resources that others have contributed. What stops people from joining and not contributing is that you ave to contribute at least 2 assets before you are allowed to join.
CYer, Blitz
I haven't really looked at the site much, but i think my biggest concern would be the quality of the assets that are contributed. I don't know what sort of checks (if any?) etc. they have to remedy this? Obviously you could just not use assets that are crap, but then what is the point of those assets being there!
