Allow Pre-Orders On Steam
« on: April 05, 2019, 11:58:04 pm »

I don't care how long it take for the steam version to be ready. I'm sitting with $100 because of a birthday gift on my steam account, and there is NOTHING GOOD on steam that I don't already have. I want to invest my steam currency into something I know I love. So please... let us pre order.

I wonder how much the game will cost. I'm expecting something in the ballpark of 20, but I'd be willing to pay way more

I think a pre-order option will come up as the release date gets closer, thing is the game is still a year away.

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

+1 when the steam dev arc is officially started. You don’t want people to wait for too long after they’ve paid for something.

Yeah, we might be still a year off yet. Let's see where we are once Villains bug fixing is all done.

And Kit Fox Games is handling the Steam stuff, so posting it here, is barking at the wrong folks.

Toady said in fotf to post all suggestions here for now and he'll pass them along. Do Kitfox even have a Dwarf Fortress Suggestions forum?

Now that there are people other than you looking at graphics, another at music and presumably someone thinking about achievements and stuff, how do you want the Suggestions to work from now on? Continue to throw everything into the Bay12 Suggestions forum and you'll pass on anything you think you want in your game? Or some other way to pass on Suggestions directly?

Ha ha, there are already threads here I think where Mayday and Meph are taking suggestions and showing new artwork in progress etc.  So I don't yet think we need any specific new pipeline which I organize.  Once we're a bit further into the Steam work, it might be that something specifically arises regarding e.g. achievement structure, but for now, yeah, just throw them in suggestions and I'll fold that into whatever happens.
