(Suggestion) Steam Presence

from Sins Forums

If you want this game to be an enormous hit, you will need to have a couple of things done in steam.

1) Have the beta updates put into the steam newsfeed, this will attract a lot of attention form people that will look to see what this game is about.

2) Have a Sins Rebellion forum section in the Steam forums. Though this will up the task of looking through posts, a lot of steam users are too lazy to post on other forums and so you will be able to get a greater amount of feedback for the game.

3) Lastly (and I know you do not like taking payments before the game is released), you should have the game on pre-order in steam with promise of being allowed into the beta on perchance. This will get you a tonne of money as steam is the best platform for launching a game on at the moment.

I hope this is useful,

Charlie

I think the only way you can get your game onto the news and forums is when they released the game to the public. Also they haven't put up into the store yet so. Although I think they should do it now, I don't they can pull off what Notch did.

For those who don't know who is Notch, he is a game developer of the game called Minecraft. What he basically did is that he released the game when it was in alpha stage in order to fund his work and it worked. More people bought when the game was in alpha stages than in any other stages. Only because the basic gameplay was already awesome.

Plenty of Beta games get news in steam. DOTA 2 and CS:S GW are two which you can't even acquire on steam through any means other than invite.

Just because they can't do a Notch, doesn't mean it won't help.
