Topic: Perpetuum on Steam?

I just throw in a thought.

Has AC been considering to get PO listed on Steam, Indi Game section?
I don´t now what requirements AC would have to meet, to have PO listed in steam.
Or what financial aspects would go with this.

Like said, just an unfinished thought, I´ll just throw into this round.

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

Actually this is a really good idea... STEAM is definitely a premiere delivery system for games and I think one of the most significant hurdles this game faces is just obscurity.  I had barely heard of it and I read MMO news daily.

I suppose it comes down to what it would cost to have STEAM list/carry the game.  Since the game itself is free I imagine there is some kind of fee or perhaps a per account charge to the company that might make this concept not possible.

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

Perpetuum would work great on steam. The only issue would be that the game already keeps itself up to date so all steam would do is provide the 2 megabyte EXE file which doesn't really help much. Would be awesome to get the game advertised on steam though. Not sure it would work out too well but I guess they could try to make it so the money on steam was just to buy a 30 day code and offer the 15 day free trial as well via steam.

Not sure how much money steam would want to charge them for this service though. sad

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

good stuff

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

IMHO Steam is mostly a resident-sitting senseless program that eats resources making everything else working bad. Game deliverance? You don't need it for Perpetuum, just simply download it from site.

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

Valve adds stuff that THEY want on steam,
not (put random DEVteam) choosing Steam as platform.

Its not simply a platform to download a game from.  It would increase the visibility of Perpetuum 10 fold if it were put on Steam.   You apparently dont understand the power that that platform has.

PS:  You dont have to leave it running all the time.  Fire it up when you want to play a game then close it when you're done.  Stop being bitter about not having much RAM in your rig.

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

Lol you will be even not need to launch steam executable. Look how eve works on steam: steam just distributing keys, and launches client from steamlib if u want.
Distributing keys through steam is good idea Mob!

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

Yeah, i've got 60 something games I got thru Steam. Perpetuum on steam would be win. They like indie devs too, but I have no idea what kind of deal you'd have to strike with them in order to get them to put Perpetuum on there. Would be pretty awesome though.

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

Well, if it will be key distribution only big_smile

What else would it be?  Its not like they'd host the servers on steam servers, or require it to be started through steam... although the steam UI in the background of Perpetuum would be sexy.

/adds Perpetuum to Steam game list

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

+1! Perpetuum lacks advertisement, a banner at mmorpg.com is good, but I am sure tons of potential players do not visit such sites often. So steam key distribution is indeed what this game needs!

Re: Perpetuum on Steam?

yeah I think it wouldn't be too hard for Perpetuum to get placed on Steam, not sure how much that would cost AC.

Heck Steam is now starting to list more F2P MMORPG games / Free to download MMORPG games.
