Starsector (formerly Starfarer) is still in development but it's been a seriously impressive game for years. Not yet on Steam or any other store, as you have to buy it direct, but don't let that stop you with a big update out now.
You're viewing a single thread.
I'm guessing one of the reasons it's not in Steam is that it depends on Java to run? I don't recall every having a Java based game on Steam
Slay the spire is on Java
Project Zomboid too AFAIK
Huh, i thought PZ shipped a Java runtime?
Oh my, you're right! I thought it's in unity, because of their later strong stance against it. Maybe PC version is in Java and some of the ports in Unity?
Mindustry is on steam
Can't see a problem with Java on Steam as long as you bundle the runtime and not depend on linking to it
It would be very very arbitrary of Steam to bar a game based on the language it’s written on.
Why would that be the first reason you came up with and not the fact that steam takes a ridiculous 30% cut from dev's work? And yes, the game is that good, so good they can tell steam to fuck off. Makes me like the game even more..
As a dev while steams cut is large and id like to see it go down, you do get a lot for it.
