Dominions en Steam

[KIM]

El llama pide ayuda y mi Dios único y verdadero lo aprueba.

Hi,

llamabeast here. This email is basically a plea to help get Dominions 3 onto Steam, and hopefully expose thousands of new players to this wonderful game. You're receiving it because, as someone who's played in the past on the llamaserver, I thought it was a fair bet that you might take an interest in all things Dominions 3 even if you haven't played recently.

So, a bit of background: Illwinter's contract with Shrapnel has finally run out, and with their newfound freedom they've put in an application to have Dominions 3 available on Steam. Steam has a system called Greenlight for evaluating potential new additions to their catalogue. Basically there is a page for each game, and they watch how many people take an interest in it.

Thus far, according to Johan (the coding half of Illwinter), Dom3 is not on track to make it on to Steam. There has been a fair amount of interest (maybe around half of what would be needed), but right now it's not looking good. However if everyone who received this email went onto the Greenlight page and commented in favour, it would basically be a slam dunk.

The page is here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =123485567

If you would like to help, please click "Yes", on "Would you buy this game?", and more importantly, write a short comment in the comments section. For some reason it seems to be the comments that they count.

As of this writing there are about 500 comments. Johan reckons they need maybe 1000 to get onto Steam. This email is going out to 1523 people. (Pretty amazing how many people have used the llamaserver over time! As an aside I also found while preparing this email that a total of 6450 nations have battled on the llamaserver!)

As you may have guessed, I think it would be really great to get Dom3 on Steam. Steam brings access to a huge increased audience and great marketing capabilities, whereas Shrapnel and Desura are at best quite obscure. I'd hope that a renewed influx of players would breathe new life into the modding and multiplayer communities (which are actually both incredibly healthy almost 7 years after release - but more people is always good).

I hope you don't mind me taking advantage of having your email address to spam you this one time. Illwinter don't know I'm doing this, and I don't have a direct vested interest. But as many of you will know, I really love this game, and very much want its community to continue to thrive long into the future.

Cheers,

llama

[El Nota]

Yo ya he votado por el. Aunque me aterra el late game, he de reconocer que jamas he jugado a un juego como el, ni creo que vuelva a hacerlo. Hay juego a los que le he echado muchas mas horas pero ninguno como el dominions. La sensacion que tenias al ver un turno y ver que las cosas te habian salido bien era estremecedora. Deberian conceder premios nobel por diseñar un juego como dominions

Saludetes.

PD: Realmente no me gusta, era por quedar bien

Mi hilo es infinitamente mejor ,mas currado, con su corte y pega y todo

Yo he votado, he comentado y le he atado los cojones a san cucufato para que encuentren el camino a Steam que se lo merecen y para que ya de paso nos hagan un Dominions 4 o lo que sea.

Uff por un lado me da un poco miedo que el juego acabe siendo "only steam" mediante parche y hasta para jugar contra la IA tener que encender el puñetero steam. Pero bueno, ya he votado que si.

Yo no he visto ningún comentario tuyo

Tendriamos que montar alguna partida todo aleatorio, haber si tienes suerte apareces en una esquina con Mictlan EA y ganas por fin una partida

Lo que pasa es que el comentario yo lo puse hace un huevo, no hizo falta que viniera el llamaserver a avisarme
