Upcomming Pricing Changes and Open Source
Hello all, Wild Omission will soon become free to play and open source under the MIT license.
My reasoning for this, is because I on my own have not been able to maintain the game on my own, and I also cannot justify continuing to take money for something that I'm not actively pouring my heart and soul into. So let me go into more detail.
In about two weeks Wild Omission Beta 1.0.0 will release, and the source code will become available on GitHub for all to download and play around with. Guides and documentation will also be provided in the patch notes. The game will also go free to play.
Q&A
Q: What if I buy Wild Omission before it becomes free?
A: You'll still own it but there isn't much point in spending money on a product that's about to become free.
Q: Will I get a refund if I bought the game while it was paid?
A: No.
Q: How does this effect the future of the games development?
A: It entirely depends on how active the community is with developing things.
Q: Who is going to maintain the "Official" build of the game here on Steam?
A: Me, I'm still going to be in charge of merging any community contributions into the main build here on Steam, however players are allowed to make their own forks of the code base and distribute them, full terms are available in the MIT license, a copy of which is provided with the source code.
