Title: Steam!
Post by: Lurler on October 15, 2014, 01:44:34 AM
The game now runs on Steam!

Well, not exactly. It runs all right, but we haven't yet implemented steam API to allow for multiplayer and other mandatory features.

But I thought it is worth sharing with you guys, at least for us it's a major milestone :)

But that's not all!

Behold!

Yup, that's steam trading cards for VoidExpanse. We've created a bunch, but I won't share more info until the release to not spoil the fun of discovering it for yourself.

Great work guys!! :) If you are including cards, can I assume achievements will also be part of the steam release?

Probably not. Cards are fairly easy to implement, you basically just need the graphics, while achievements are move involved. You'd have to actually keep track of stuff (i.e. it must be programmed to keep track), so probably not now. Because if we were to add achievements we would like to have them both on our site and on steam, and it would take quite some time to implement. So, maybe in the future, but now... unlikely.

Not to sound pushy :) But I really think it's time for VoidExpanse to hit Early Access.
I have been playing other Early Access games and VE is really far as development goes.
I am 100% sure you will get positive feedback, many sales, alot of feedback so that you can continue working on the game and make it grow even more.

This game needs to go and shine!

Yup, that's what we think too. But we will go straight for the full release as not to dilute the press attention, since we have just one chance at this.

And since it was mentioned above - we are also trying to add achievements while we are at it :) No promises, but hopefully!

Basically what we are doing now is trying to arrange press release and other promotional activities with a PR company.

Can you not get the game to show already in the upcoming releases?
I know for one that I am quite often going through the list of games that are going to release in the near future.
This would already create some publicity for the game.

Added to this you could work on a store game on Steam with all the details and put a release date of early 2015

Not sure if this is all possible since you are only greenlit but just some ideas

Already got you hooked up via some friends for some press, I'll letcha know when you might get free shout-outs.  Three major multi-game guilds, a few Wildstar podcasts/streamers and a few MOBA streamers will be doing a little cross-action advertising for VE once full release hits; I have friends in high (and low!) places and they know I've put both a lot of time into my mod and have been listening to me sing the praises of the Void for a while now.

Gonna try and get a sort of perma-server running for BTC post-launch as well, since I know some guys with spare data center space who run a buncha Arma3 servers.

We can... but we just don't know the date yet and I don't want to specify a date that we won't be able to meet.
As soon as we discuss this with the PR company and determine a date I will add the game to upcoming list on Steam.

Yeah, it's possible. As soon as you are greenlit you are pretty much given the full access to all steam features.

That is actually awesome :) The more coverage we can get the better are our chances of making this project work! If you really can do that it would be a huge help :)

Does this mean we who've purchased the game can look forward to Steam keys soon?

Yes, reasonably soon :)
Though, there is so much that goes into releasing the game, sigh... lots of hard work.
But I hope it will be worth in the end!

Actually, you guys could help us a lot with the Steam release! Could everyone who already owns the game on Steam leave a review?
So that when the game launches we will have some reviews up already.
It is really important to us and we'd appreciate each and every contribution! Thank you! :)

You can simply visit http://store.steampowered.com/app/324260 when you are logged in and you will be able to leave a review.

No.  Until the game releases, no one can purchase it through Steam.  Until you give people who have already purchased Voide Expanse their Steam codes, they can't get the game on Steam.

In other words; Until the game is purchasable through Steam, or you have a code to link ownership of a copy to your account, Steam won't let you put up a review.

Until either of these things come to pass so that Steam acknowledges our accounts have the game, we cannot review it.

@Eviscerator
Actually there are a few of us with Steam keys, as we were testing the Steam version of the game.
But it seems that is irrelevant at the moment as Steam is saying:

You must wait until this product has been released before writing a review for it.

Sorry Lurler, but it seems we'll have to review it once you do your full release.
Title: Re: Steam!
Post by: Lurler on January 28, 2015, 08:42:51 PM
Oh, that's too bad, I thought it was possible, since the Steam website was showing me the form to submit the review.
Oh, well. Will wait until the release then :)
