After switching to Torque, we've had to renegotiate our legal contracts with VU Games, seeing as how we went from being a MOD to a full fledged stand alone game. We are now in the final stages of finishing this contract up so I feel I can let you know with some degree of certainty the following two things:

1. The multiplayer portion of the game will be released as a free download. It will be hosted and advertised by VU games, and mirroring on as many sites as possible will be encouraged. That means you can download it, burn it, and give it to everyone in your school/neighborhood/Shriners temple or put it on your website for download if you so desire.

VU Games reserves the right to charge a nominal fee for the campaign (which will be released sometime next year) and any other possible future expansion packs.

2. We have final say on the ship date for all releases and will be responsible for the initial follow up patches (if any are required). This will ensure that high quality is maintained and we are not rushed to release an unfinished product. In short, it's not done till we say it's done.

These agreements are the best possible outcome for this project and will ensure that the game is not marginalized or rushed to market full of bugs. It will still be a community led project, at least until it can stand on its own two feet. MODs and other third party projects will be heavily encouraged, and we are going to great lengths to make sure our code is as MOD friendly as possible without compromising security.

That is all.
