A question about this game and steam
« on: April 13, 2014, 03:56:57 AM »
Could this game, perhaps in the future, have compatibility with the in game steam overlay?

Steam is a digital distribution, digital rights management, multiplayer, and communications platform developed by Valve Corporation. It is used to distribute games and related media online, from small independent developers to larger software houses. In October 2012, Valve expanded the service to include non-gaming software. Steam provides the user with installation and automatic management of software across multiple computers, as well as community features such as friends lists and groups, cloud saving, and in-game voice and chat functionality. The software provides a freely available application programming interface (API), Steamworks, that developers can take advantage of to integrate many of Steam's functions within their software products, including copy protection, networking and matchmaking, in-game achievements and micro-transactions, and support for user-created content through Steam Workshop.


It's used primarily for RPGs and FPSs, (my 14yo stepson uses it a lot) but I think MP Civ is done there, so I can see it working for MP SMAC.
