While the capitalist in me is glad you are getting to start your own company and having a hand in shaping your own destiny.

The open sourcer in me is sad you are closing off all support *after* you have generated a lot of buzz and goodwill by open sourcing your project in the beginning.

I wish you would consider a model like Artifex does with Ghostscript – one to two release behind for GPL, $$$ licensee or full GPL projects get the current code base for free.

My project was thinking about using Chromium just because of the cool (can’t really use Awesome as an adverb when talking about your product) WPF.Chromium wrapper from Chris Cavanaugh. I will be relegated to the forked version now

Anyway… best of luck in your endevors. Owning your own business is the most rewarding and the most stressfull things you can do (except maybe for having kids!)

Stay Awesome!

Alas, this probably means that I will have to go another direction for GUI solutions in my projects.

I just hope the licencing of future Awesomium will not stop poor devs like me to use new versions but I’m sure you’ll think about that
I know I need the security features of the coming version so I’ll have to get it anyway for my game.
Anyway I like the Open-Core model too and think the Sinbad’s advice is a good one.

Best of luck!

So are you going to incorporate it and pursue Khrona full time (after any current education of course)?

(You should turn Akarui into a cheaper version of Scaleform – that would have lots of potential )

Thanks a bunch!

@ Ash,

Yup, that’s the plan.

@ steve,

Thanks a lot sinbad! I’m definitely considering offering some open-source software in the future, thanks for the link!

You might want to consider an open-source strand to your development anyway, it can be a great way of marketing a small company. The most practical way to make a viable business out of this is the ‘Open Core’ model: http://is.gd/2lqub . Most commercial open source companies are gravitating this way now, including my own.

But of course, your decision entirely. Either way I wish you the best!

Opensource stuff only lasts for a little time before the original author gets dragged onto something that he can earn a living with. I think going commercial will ensure that adam can dedicate the time to it (hopefully) and ultimately lead to a better (and more lasting) set of libs for us to use.
