@Plash, yes my reply was a reply to yours - I've been meeting lots of other developers since moving to Vancouver you see. Your other question was already answered above as therevills pointed out.
No BFG will not be selling it. They've recognised that it is a valuable asset and that continuing to sell it to potential competitors is not wise. Also it's not worth their while selling a few hundred copies of the framework compared to just making some great games with it instead.
serious moola involved
Ahem ;-) It feels pretty good to build up something and then sell it off. Some entrepreneurs do that all the time: make company, build it up, sell it, then make another one and repeat. Don't forget I've retained a lifetime license (as have all the 200+ existing customers) so if I need to go self-employed again, I can use it to make my own games and of course continue to improve it. It's a certain amount of admin processing individual framework sales each month (although admittedly not too much), but it's much simpler to get multiple years' worth of sales in one lump sum and the dosh is pretty handy right now because we spent a lot of money in England doing up our house to rent it out before we moved. Is BFG going to sell the framework still or keep it strictly as an in-house tool?
