Good luck with your company. I don't know how a retail of the mod would change the community, but I just wait and don't flame. But of course you need a lot of promotion for your projects which should increase the number of possible investors.

With the fanbase behind it and the reputation of Flayra and the crew, it won't be long before the Money Lenders start breaking down the doors...
On a serious note, I hope that Charlie has got a good lawyer as I have seen from the inside how 'money men' operate and it's not a nice world. He will need to be quite 'hard' when the cash starts flowing, as unfortuanatly the mantra 'The Investors come 1st' is soon imposed. I wish I had ?1,000,000 as he would be left alone to do what he and the team do best!
Best of Luck Flayra and the team with the venture from EVERYONE here in the uk
I can not wait to see what comes of this, I wish ya luck Flay.
And for those who don't know already, there's a new (as of 12/30) post on the main page about this, giving a link to the <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/' target='_blank'>Unknown Worlds Entertainment</a> site. I see many good things in the future, oh yes.

I shudder to think of publishers.... I wish there was some way for devs (like UWE) to be their own publisher.... like using online distribution of the game, that would at least eliminate cost and complications because of shipping/tolls/taxes. Damn greedy middlemen, wish we could be without them somehow
eeerr. i doubt he would make it with the HL2 source. I mean if he is creating a company in order to develop the sereies i doubt he is going to comtinue modding other games. It also looks by the employment needs that not all of the current NS dev team is involved. My best would be a new game engine specific to the needs of NS rather than heavily modding another game.
I can only make guesses but that would be my best.

Many companys lisence engines to use in their games. It saves hundreds of man hours which can be spent adding the 'fun stuff' to the game. Think how many games are based off the Quake, Unreal, Lithteck, Jupiter, engines. Troika (sp?) is already using the Source engine for their upcomming vampire RPG.
Edit: They would of course have to price the different engines and see which one would suit their needs best. Of course the Source engine is in many ways a 'sequal' to the HL engine and it should be easy to develop for it after having done so much with the HL engine.
