No matter if you guys are successful or not, I highly suggest you give back
something to the community. You mentioned that you were planning on using
Blender, so if you make changes to the existing blender export tools, or
develop your own, then share with the community that helped you get off the
ground in the first place.
Also pay attention to the license. I know CS is LGPL, which allows you to
make changes to the code base that you don't have to open source, but I'm
not sure about the Blender2Crystal exporter.
Also I've enjoyed reading about the process for the Apricot game, and I'm
sure lots of other developers would be interested in reading a developer
diary during your game if you can get your team to start up a blog or
something.
Either way, best of luck.
