@Pluto said in Steam support:
How does that work with F2P games though?
If nothing is purchased through Steam, wouldn't there be no cut?
If subs were handled solely through the game, and not Steam of course.
there are people who look at f2p and still buy cosmetics with their steam wallet.
Valve takes 30% as their cut. If it's less for small studios I can't remember.
Discord, even Epic will have a much lower cut which would be better for DS.
this topic, or similar, comes up a lot. search bar is pretty handy.
but i like the separate pvp/pve.
@Allie
the numbers aren't set and will change.
you have to unlock the knowledge.
hype isn't what is needed right now. let the game get to a beta state and more open to testers. then about 6 months before release start the hype train. but it has to build slowly so that a week or two before release it's at full speed.
i think the foundation is a great tool for getting those that want to participate on the forums a chance to get something (although it works for those that just post in the daily thread).
@kermadecc
they have the swamp in the gameplay videos.
@SunderCats
the search bar is pretty good. you should try it.
@Jetah this is not good though because it introduces a form of P2W to the game.
Many players are seeking a game where all accomplishments are done by player effort. What's the point of having your guild put effort, control territories, inserting influence, using tactical play to rob other guilds and keep them down, if other guilds can simply throw $$ and get back on their feet, have gold again?
This form of P2W simply ruins what competitive guilds are seeking, specially in a sandbox type of game that doesn't have instanced dungeons and raids, and focuses on open world, trading and PvP aspects.
let me help you out.
the game offers free trading between any person.
that allows p2w.
whether you want to believe that or not. it will happen. people will go to gold seller websites, buy whatever they need. it'll be traded in game. there's nothing to prevent this because it's possible to directly trade in game.

that's not how forums normally work, but if that's how things are done around here, fair enough
I can't say I've seen forums where they encourage you make multiple post 1 per reply.
how do you get more new players involved when the game is in testing? If the game enters an open beta state then we'll be playing instead of chatting on the forums.
you get an email and can see the testing forum section.
@Specter
the other way i know to curb RMT is to offer a version of it yourself.
WoW sells their token that can be exchanged for gold (on a market style UI, this is so no sell and buyer can team up). Warframe can trade Plat (their premium currency) so f2p users can buy everything except Prime packs and Tennogen (3rd party cosmetics via steam workshop). Eve Online has their version too.
@Ikonosaurus
I asked, and there was a huge thread about it, to allow WASD movement. I was basing my stance on easily configurable for game controllers.
@ZagZag
Stark Industries!
@Specter
how will DS prevent RMT? I'm sure you wont answer on a software level but with any trade people will RMT on 3rd party sites to get [better] stuff easier.
I'm definitely for specific biomes (even if it's asteroid specific) that have certain produce. I don't necessarily RP but my Demon will be addicted to coffee if it's available.
@Iamhamilton
I'm sure @Specter will be here to say this but try to add notifications (@ and their name) to multiple people in one post. If you're on mobile and can't see the names then you might want to wait till you can (it's a problem I have at time when on mobile).
As per your reply. I'm not an EU citizen but I still received email based on that law. So I was wondering if this US law would be similar to EU and other parts of the world.

@Gonzomike
isometric like PoE and Diablo (series). it's the dungeon crawler style but an MMO.
@Jairone
There was a FPS (quake or something similar) that was made for a blind person. where the audio told the player the layout and the "location" of other players.
so it's possible but I doubt it'd actually happen to all video games.
