The play button at the top of website should lead to steam

It's not 2002 anymore, nobody has java runtime, or whatever it is called, installed on their PC anymore. Just throwing .jar at them just leaves them confused as they don't understand what to do with it.

It should probably lead to steam so that it handles installing all the necessary dependencies for them.

Ehm... howabout no. Being on steam is one thing. Moving mentally into the digital ghetto is quite another.

Then make a neat looking launcher.
Kinda like most old school MMOs have.
