To summarize again, I suggested to change the development stage categories to:
- Alpha (now called “Alpha funding”)
- Beta
- Finshed and maintained (now called “Finished”)
- Finished, not maintained
- Aborted
The key motivation here that our current categories often do finished games a disjustice. The current problem is that unfinished games for which development stopped will fall into the same category as for games which are finished, but just not maintained anymore: Abandoned. This is a very important distinction which LGDB is lacking IMO.
In other words, if you search for “Finished” games, your result will be very likely incomplete because you will miss the finished games marked as “Abandoned”. Otherwise, if you include “Abandoned” games in your search as well, your result is tainted with games which never made it into beta.

Forum topic: Cube engine powered games which aren't shooters
[url=http://www.indiedb.com
Being Cube an engine designed for arena shooters (i.e. Quake III) It is hard to develop a game other than an FPS. There are only a few of them:
Broken Shield (Medieval themed PvP MMO)
Isle (Adventure game set in a fantasy island)
Kelgar Alpha (open world fantasy RPG)
Emulator: BeagleSNES
