The game will cost at the high end of Indie games. Looking at most indie games that seems to be in the $30 range, plus or minus. There will not be a subscription fee. The cash shop is for cosmetics and utility (name change, etc.). We will sell mini-expansions to keep content coming.
If you are a player who needs a game they can play without every paying anything, anytime, we can't, as an Indie afford to do that. Our audience just won't be big enough for enough paying players to subsidize completely free players and cover the costs of servers and bandwidth. Well, that's not completely true, we could do this, but we'd end up having to monetize critical parts of gameplay and introduce deliberate "inconveniences" into the design to make more people pay so you can play absolutely free.
If you are the type of player who likes to try a game for free and then decide to support it through cash shop, etc., then I'm sure we will do things like Steam free weekends where you can try the game for free.

Hey I know a few of you don't like the direction of the Omniframe. I just ask you keep an open mind and judge it by how it plays. I know I'm super excited and motivated by it, and that can only make for a better game. And to answer the question, the game is more science fantasy than hard sci-fi.
Remember, the poster was made before any game pitch was made, just to judge interest and then later raise $500 for a website and forums where we can have arguments like this

So now we're the aggressors :s I'd not be quite friendly if some guys are messing with my planet
What do you say we wait and see what the basis of these alien/human encounters are before we start pointing fingers shall we?
