I have an idea that I think could jump ryzom back into its hayday of activity!
On steam they just launched what they call the "Greenlight" program. Its basically where indie developers can submit their games for the community to vote on for approval to be a steam supported game.
Now i dont know anything about what kind of contractual deals steam would require of WG in order to do this but i think it would be worth a shot! They seem to be pretty lenient and the steam community loves niche type games.
This game has always filled a hole that nothing else will for me though i havent been able to afford a sub lately :( think i will just to see how the pre and post new beginning stuff goes though.
This would require as many zommers as possible to create a steam account in order to vote it up, as for proof that the game is awesome and alive there are tons of videos on youtube that show off the beauty and websites that show the depth.
With this Rebirth, as i call it, and its achievements plus everyone starting over i think now would be a perfect time to submit it for this program as all the community is here but no one will really be a "noob" as everyone will be starting completely over!
Also steam games tend to support achievements as they are a driver in the game world now i figured it would go hand in hand.
Im not sure who has to submit the game honestly, pretty sure someone that has the authority to tie the game to steam would have to do it. so either a dev or company rep would have to make a steam account to submit with.
All in all i think this would totally be worth it!!
anyone else have any thoughts on this?
