The Steam Greenlight page for Template:SotA: Forsaken Virtues in an effort to get Shroud into Steam Early Access. This is a great way to both reach a wider audience while at the same time offering our existing backers who use Steam a way to play Shroud in that ecosystem of friends, achievements, etc.
This will NOT be a replacement for direct download and play of Shroud, but instead it is an option. Players will still be able to directly download and play the game through the Template:SotA website, patcher, etc. if they so wish. Backers can request Steam Keys to play the game on Steam so that they won’t have to repurchase the product on Steam.
The Template:SotA available on Steam will be a version of the game priced at the low end of our current pledges, that includes:
- Digital download of the game (Episode 1)
- Alpha + Beta access
SotA’s long-term success depends upon reaching as wide an audience as possible, and Steam is a great way to do that. So please help out by going to the Shroud of the Avatar Steam Greenlight page and voting yes to make SotA available on Steam![1]
