Greetings. You may have heard of me, the SpaceChem player gggol.
With Zachtronics shutting down, is there any reason not to release source code, and publish everything under a copyleft license, if not right away, perhaps in 5 years? I am particularly interested in hearing about the programming languages and libraries you considered using, evaluated, and why you chose the ones you did.
How much time did you have to spend on business issues, rather than on game design? And, what limitations do business concerns impose on you? You have to look the other way should fans recreate the games in some form or do anything else that might be considered infringing?
