Promote Conitnuum via Steam?

[CreatiX]

sry, cant edit the topic title for some reason.

it should be: Advertise Continuum via Steam?

 

Do you think it would be legal to let Steam host/link us as a free game?

me thinks we might get alot more attention if we would be avialable for download there, too.

This topic has been discussed many times. However, I think what needs/should be done is continuous, constant effort in contacting Valve and trying to get Continuum into Steam's game library. Persistence.

 

EDIT: I've been meaning to ask PoLiX lately if he could take another stab at it. I really do think we can break through if we don't let go of this topic.

Who are you referring to by "they"? =?

 

What I said was a suggestion, NOT a "what is currently happening" status report. http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blum.gif

i don't think u know what persistant means, creatix

The main issue we face (though we thought was fixed) is Continuum for some people will just resort to where it doesn't load, and bounces all around in your process tree. Continuum loads fine outside of steam for these people, so it isn't fixable by the normal work arounds.

 

I ended up finding contact through a friend of mine's cousin who went to school with the guy. He had enough strings/connections to get in contact with a friend of his that worked in the right department, and it went from there. Submitting directly to steam got me nothing more than automated/pasted replies and never got a final resolution.

 

They reported in some tests our game would not load. I had e-mailed the guy telling him about the issue, and he replied that they had killed the process in the task manager. He recommended we have our programmer contact them, and they can help work out a solution/fix for this. Obviously this wasn't happening, and again it died there. This honestly was the furthest we have ever gotten with them on getting Continuum added, as in past tries I know myself and others were knocked down because we did not "own" the game. But I explained pretty well how we are player ran, and BDE has left us to run ourselves peacefully and quietly as long as we make no profit. He actually thought it'd be cool to pick up such an old game and promote it with Steam, and was sympthetic to our need. But alas, it all came down to programming.

 

So sadly... unless we got priit involved or adopted a new client, Steam can't launch our game properly for everyone, and so we're stuck.

Ok, this is good timing PoLiX. Since SSC is broken and we require of Priit's interaction, PLEASE mention this to him and try to get the council to persuade him to at least "fix" Continuum in these parts so that we can get the game on Steam.

 

It's worth every effort. We can't let this opportunity go!

[PoLiX]

lol. You talk like countless e-mails haven't been sent to him on this subject, or on any other subjects of things that'd be nice to have again (IE: Scores).

 

You need to calm down sometimes dude.

I'm just that passionate about Subspace. http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blum.gif After all, I've played it for more than half my life. 19 now, started when I was 7-8. :] Just wait until I'm 32! Subspace for life.

By the time you're 32, Skynet will have taken over.

I hope the world ends 2012. I won't have to pay back my student loan.

Just flee the country like me. Then you won't owe anything. http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blum.gif

Then there will be a warrant out for your arrest. They'll be waiting for you at the airport.

 

I have a relative that's wanting to do this to get away from her loans. It's "fail" because it's her fault and she doesn't admit it. Thinks you can just pull out a credit card and use it like money.

No, no one will be waiting for me. Not now, not in the near future. http://www.ssforum.net/public/style_emoticons/default/thumbsup.gif
