Are ya'll planning on going commercial with this game?
When the idea for building a game first came up, the thinking was for it to be released as a free game, and to make the game open sourced (although perhaps portions will be restricted to prevent cheats as discussed). A free os game ought to attract a lot of talent from the os community. Afterall, we have limited funds, so volunteers are needed.

My guess is that there will be some very good commercial spin off opportunities surrounding the game should it be successfull. Members of the core team can cash in on the spin offs as a well earned reward for their efforts should they be in a position to do so.

We have to first want to do this to build a great game and have fun doing it. If we're successfull at it, then the opportunities will follow - we just have to keep a sharp eye out for them.
