This looks pretty cool, our minecraft addicted kids are going to love it.

I'm curious, do you plan to charge for this game? And if so, I wonder how that might work when it's a browser-based game. Ads? Subscription? Something else?

We will charge for the game, yes. We are building the game with the Unity Engine, and that allows us to release on practically any platform we want. Currently we are aiming for a standalone PC/Mac/Linux release, but mobile is of course also interesting. First things first, though.

We are considering selling the game on Steam, but have not decided yet.

While steam is a good platform to sell on, I think a lot of people here will agree that selling a DRM free version on sites like GOG.com would be awesome especially if you can support Linux.

What about GOG is better than steam? I'm pretty sure you can sell your game DRM free on steam too. Valve is also pushing pretty hard for Linux gaming.
