Question: What does it take to get a game onto Steam, and have DL considered doing so, or is it not possible, if not for what reasons? The reason i ask is because

Dayz
Rust

are two games that are on Steam, and they are both in Alpha stages of the game where they openly say "the game is in alpha, lots of things are not working" and yet a very large amount of players buy the game (like 20 or 30 bucks one time thing) and play the game.

I think it would do wonders for AW if it was on Steam, just like wondersss as far as new player potential. And in all honesty i think either 1. if it was free, many would probably try it out just because its free, or 2. you could even put a price on it like 10 or 20 bucks, and i Still bet a lot of people would buy it and play.

Thoughts??

What will we do next, when money will finish? We will try to raise more funds on Kickstarter. We have a lot of devoted players who (we are sure) will support us. AfterWorld will bring attention of press and big gaming portals, because story of the game development is unique - I, personally, do not know any other game that started on enthusiasm, been developed for 7 (!!!) years just by a few developers, became home for so many players, almost died... but still fighting - and I'm sure will win, with our help. As soon as we finish low-level mechanics, we will be ready to go for Steam Greenlight. Steam will definitely bring new blood (a lot of it, actually) to the game. And, of course, if we will show good results this summer (from business point of view, of course), I'm sure I'll be able to find more money to hire more coders, artists and to begin PR, bringing new players and filling AfterWorld with life, buzz and firing!
