Beta Keys on Steam
« on: April 19, 2012, 01:29:48 pm »
Any word about whether our beta keys will unlock the Steam version on Monday?  Or is that something that we'll have to wait a while for?

Well, maybe not on Monday exactly, but we did just hear from Steam that they will accept keys from other sources. The only question that remains now is how long it will take. In the past, there was a delay by as much as three weeks. Maybe they'll be shorter now, we're not sure.

We will definitely be giving more word on this as we know.

You can always add it as a non steam game, of course. Overlay works perfectly with it. You just don't get the pretty backgrounds without taking your own screenshots.

I've been playing it through Steam from day 1 of the beta.

Yeah, so have I, but it's not the same.  I gotta have it officially in there so I can show off my achievements to my friends. :D

Speaking of which, will the achievements we've already unlocked show up on steam when we load it up, or will we start from scratch?  Either is fine; I'm just curious.

They should show up; they are meant to resubmit as you complete them.  But sometimes it takes a day or two when Steam's servers are busy.
