He is planning to release Hadean Lands' display library and iPhone interpreter engine as Open Source when the game is complete.
Small correction: I have already released these as open source. They're available on my github page (
http://github.com/erkyrath). While Hadean Lands is not done, I have put a few of my older games onto the iOS App Store using this software.
Unsurprisingly, it turned out that porting an interpreter (or two) to iOS was easier than writing a large IF game from scratch...
It is true that I have focussed on iOS programming. Nothing against Android, but my time is already split enough ways! It's important that these interpreters and VM formats be portable, and I've done my share to keep that true, but I can't do all the *ports*.
