What happens if the project falls through/runs out of money? It would be cool if the developers signed some sort of contract requiring them to open source everything in such a case.
- codedivine 17y agoGame developers many times use third-party IP (for example game engines). In such a case, open sourcing is worthless.
- psawaya 17y agoThat's definitely true in a lot of cases, but many of the more indie-friendly engines (like Source, I believe) are free or cheap for non-commercial use. I think that works well with the fact that this funding model is most likely to work with indie-scale projects.
