Hello, if your called Jorb and are reading this message then there is a question i've been wondering for a while.
With the release (or beta release or whatever your calling it) have you a loftar considered the possibility of putting hafen on steam to increase player base somewhat? obviously have the current fast updates and bug fixes you may not want to at this moment, but still interested to see if you guys ahve given thought to it

Re: Question for Jorb : Steam
Bob Dole has one word for this thread. Hel
Early world exploit: Put your hearthfire inside a cave, then hold shift to position a claim right in front of a cave. After 8 hours the claim will be unbreakable. Since your hearthfire is inside the cave, you can still get back inside, and leave, but nobody will be able to enter, effectively making you unraidable for the first 3-7 days. Enjoy

No. They don't even know what Steam is, and nobody in this community has ever brought it up with them.Farlis wrote:have you a loftar considered the possibility of putting hafen on steam to increase player base somewhat? ... but still interested to see if you guys ahve given thought to it

Re: Question for Jorb : Steam
To be fair, new members have absolutely no way of knowing about the prior discussions. You can't even ask them to search for it because they're gone now, along with most of the old forum.Ninijutsu wrote:No. They don't even know what Steam is, and nobody in this community has ever brought it up with them.
Loftorb have considered steam integration but it's no small task and they're not big fans of adding DRM into the process of playing Haven. Odds of it happening are honestly pretty low, especially at such early stages of the game.

Re: Question for Jorb : Steam
Actually there is a lot of other projects that actually a trash or a good looking trash or just promising trash and they make to the steam shop with ezzz. So what am i thinking that going to steam will be good and it will happen eventually if jortar will start to roll this wheel. The main problem is that the steam community players will need to get a habbit of living on hnh official forums. Because here is life. Here is drama. Here is some actuall part of joy from the game. You can play completely without forum and conversation but you will go here one way or another.TeckXKnight wrote:To be fair, new members have absolutely no way of knowing about the prior discussions.

Re: Question for Jorb : Steam
We haven't felt it a priority. Haven is intrinsically online distributed, so Steam only offers a marketing avenue (that is anything but free).

Re: Question for Jorb : Steam
Honestly the reviews would be terrible.
The game picks up after the 2nd or third day, if you know what to aim for
Most steam gamers play for under 20 minutes and then give bad reviews when they get stuck/bored

I would disagree, given that there are plenty of incredible indie games that were very MEH at the beginning, picked up later and still got very positive reviews. Just need to make it very clear what niche this game is aiming at and those people will give it more time. On top of that, if the our community doesn't dick around with purposely giving crap reviews, but actually give opinionated ones with well thought out arguments for why Haven is such a great game, I'm sure we could find atleast SOME new players. Of course, there might be issues with the clients and open sourcing + Loftar clearly said he dislikes the system. They'd have to prepare all the java packages etc etc so the game runs smoothly for everyone without any preparations. It's time taken away from other more important matters, like fixing the payment options etc.
