When I came up with the idea of the Ogre Engine project. My plan was to wait a couple of months and get a marketing guy with industry experience onboard, then start selling the engine when the game was in a state that was ready to push to publishers. The engine itself was going to be secondary to the game.
Marketing guy was also going to take care of the webpage design and development and general running of the business, finances and non tech support.
Unfortunately since the C++ side is allmost all ants, it's really ants engine so when he decided he needed to sell it yesterday to pay some bills we let him.
I'm no longer in charge of the engine, Cygnus and I will help ant where we can, but he's the only one that benefits from sales, so he gets to be your main point of contact and help you with support issues.
Were going to press on with the game to the original plan, but hope to support ant in his efforts in making the engine as good as it can be.
Posting this mostly to answer the people that emailed me lastnight and on here too.
