It'll be open source, and most likely available by online download.

good that's what I was hoping for

well that presents a new problem the game is going to be so big ot will take hours to load and alot of bandwith

maybe we could put it up for download in seperate parts?

Perhaps also a link for people who dont need to download it in parts.

We don't even have a game engine and we've started worrying about distribution?
We could just put it on a few free file sharing sites.

What you're thinking of is pirating, which is stealing a game, Since you cannot pay for our game (because it's free), it cannot possibly be pirated.

We will distribute through a rapid file sharing site that allows us to upload very large files.
