Megaglest and Steam

[-Archmage-]

I feel like we can make the staging and backgrounds a lot more epic, with units fighting, or huge cities built.

What are the aspect ratio and size limitations that Steam lays out?

Excatly those you see, but steam typically displays them even smaller, so everyhting like fighting or something will not be seen by people in those tiny things. Those things here are shown while downloading or in shop and so on.

Ok everyone we're really close to a steam release (And general release). We've tested on multiple platforms and the steam client works beautifully with Mega Glest thus far.

We've been cleaning up some defects and getting together language translations but hopefully soon we will be ready to release (and this time on Steam!)

Good work! I'm excited to see Glest on steam.

We need some ideas how we can advertise a steam release. btw it looks like technically we are ready for this.

Contact game news publishers and strongly advertise single-player, multi-player, full mod support and that the game will continue to get updates. I recommend making open-source a main selling point only to publications/communities that care, because to a lot of  people(who don't care or are ignorant) open-source means low-quality or community built. Then there's reddit(r/megaglest and r/glest are taken by someone who hasn't replied to me), facebook groups, twitter, etc.

It would help also to come up with a set release date.
