Community devs or open source?
@rocketbear, I know you're currently employed elsewhere and aren't actively working on Infested Planet (or a sequel), but would you be willing to consider open sourcing the game's code or handing it over to a group of developers from the community to continue working on it?

I know the code might not be in a state you particularly want to share, but I would love to see it.

If not, would you consider licensing the IP or having a team do a sequel if you don't have the time?

Hmmm. This is a complex question.

Every once in a while I consider releasing the source, but then I start thinking of all the work that would need to be done to make things public and my brain starts going "AaaaAaaaAaaa".

If there was a team of devs that I trusted to do a good job, I'd actually be happy to, I don't know, sell the game rights to them. The wrinkle is that:
(1) I don't actually know such a group of people
(2) ... who also want to work on Infested Planet and
(3) who'd be willing to buy the game rights (given that the game is still selling and so the future sales have non-zero value)

So, I guess to sum it up. In theory I can imagine it happening, but I don't think realistically everything will align to actually do something like that.
