Re: Release Date Announcement for A Hero's Call
BryanP—the distribution method of the game is going to be digital download. So, it is a given that internet access will be required to at least purchase the game. You make a good point about sometimes having to cut internet access, though. Those are the sorts of things we're trying to sort out. I'm not directly involved in the discussions about DRM but I know those are all things that have been taken into consideration. For example, we want users to have the freedom to install on a different machine if they get a new computer or have a desktop and a laptop—but we also don't want users to be able to simply share their copy with anyone and everyone and have dozens of different people using the same registration. It's a tough balance.
@Connor #166: The initial release will not be on Steam, nor can we guarantee a Steam release. We are definitely hoping and planning to release on Steam once the graphics are implemented but as I've said before, that is ultimately out of our hands, since games have to go through an approval process to be included on Steam. Currently that process is a Steam Greenlight campaign, though I understand Steam is planning to change this and make it a simple submission fee. All of that is to say, we can't promise an eventual Steam release because it's not 100% in our power to guarantee, but either way, the December 29 release will definitely NOT include a Steam release.
