Awesome.

Opening the game to Steam is great, can't wait to see the achievements!
Also, maybe you could think about including Workshop or Trading Cards [;)]

About the trailer, it's beautiful. But from 0:13 to 0:22, it tells me we're now able to play on two galaxies at the same time, right? [:D]

Anyway, I guess now Distant Worlds only needs multiplayer to be perfect [:'(]

hehe, would be nice. However I think its pointing out the Ancient Galaxy vs Current Galaxy. If you notice, the one looks 'tarnished' for lack of a better description.

OOMMMGGG

I really hope that to play the game in the future,that you don't need to have a steam account.If the dreaded DRM issue re-appears,then this is where my involvement with Distant Worlds ends,I won't play via steam,not now not ever period.[:o]

As a Tester, I can assure you that I don't use Steam, so you shouldn't have to worry about that.

Just to be completely clear, we are not adding any DRM to Distant Worlds. It's being sold through our store as usual and it's entirely the customer's choice where they want to purchase it. As with our other games that have gone to Steam, we will always sell them on our store as well and our policies regarding DRM and customer satisfaction have not changed.

If you don't like Steam, nothing changes for you. If you do like Steam, it is now available there for you.

The two galaxies - well, one is the galaxy you've been playing in, the other is the nearby galaxy where you-know-who came from. [;)]

It's a shame that the metacritic score shown is for the original release - things have come such a long way since then. Don't imagine it can easily be updated...

Agreed, I don't know if we can change that, but we will try.

I knew this was coming. After last expansion DW gets the steam treatment. Still will be buying directly from you though. Just realized I'll be on vacation so I might not be able to enjoy Universe until Monday night. Wait we gets steam key from buying directly from you?! Well that's great thanks! [&o]

Also I'll be making my posts on other forums about this coming release. Hopefully you guys break da bank on release. [;)]

A dream came true. But why do you release it when I am on vacation in sweden? Damn

Edit: The link at Space Game Junkie works, odd.

Edit2: My mistake the link at Space Game Junkie only takes you to the product page with no way to purchase.

Sorry, I broke the link while copying and pasting. I just updated the first post and here's the correct link:

That's because it releases on May 23rd. [;)]

Awesome job Erik!!! I noticed what looked like some new weapons graphics and they looked very nice! I loved the new trailer and I'm hoping the Steam release will be overwhelmingly positive. I will of course, purchase directly from Matrix though. Once again....Awesome job!

I realized my mistake shortly after my second edit, but was too lazy to make a third edit.

Also, I think 10$ is a very reasonable price for the upgrade.

Funky trailer [8D]

Not sure how things work over on the dark side but I will see if I can register with the forum for the release and help out on here and there as best I can, I will make sure I wear anti contamination attire though, do not want to get infected [:D]

For those of you that think the upgrade price is unreasonable or too low, please forward
a case of either Vintage Romulan Ale or Aged Correllian Whiskey to coordinates x=120, y=-74, z=144
deep inside the Briar Patch Nebula by no later than Stardate 2014-5-22.

Hmmm, so someone is advertising deliveries of Romulan Ale...perhaps now is a good time to prepare a trap for a certain Ale swiping android. [:D]

Thank you!

Steam is fantastic and awesome and I am so happy you are getting your games out to a larger audience.

The forums are a cesspool, but to users like myself, it's a really convenient way to have all your games in one place.

Obviously I will be buying direct here because Matrix is in my heart and I love that you offer the choice of Steam keys for your customers. This is why I am loyal, ride or die. Matrix/Slitherine 4lyfe
