Well, if I made it, they can too.  As much as it may seem pointless, a lot of people only buy games on Steam, so it would probably boost sales (not to mention they could get on sales).

You have a game on steam?

Greenlit, yes.  I have not put it up, but will when I finish it. 

I need a pixel artist if anyone knows one who'd work for cheap.

The promised launch date of Spring 2015 for the new Unity version is the most interesting part of that.

Where does it say that? I read they expect to have adventures ready for spring/summer

The release date is mentioned on the Announcements tab.

Some ... interesting ... comments there too.

My big worry is that the log is still in a pop-up window, and Salvager will no longer work after the rewrite.

Eww! No! No! No! I just realized the screen shots are of the new version they are working on. They have pretty new graphics, but it seems none of the things that salvager fixes are actually fixed in the new version. Please tell me this isn't true.  :'(

I don't want pretty graphics dammit. Pretty graphics do not make a game great.

EDIT:
On the bright side, this exposure will mean a lot more people exposed to Dominion, but shit, it seems like our salvager features might not make it through when they said they wanted to incorporate those features.

EDIT 2:
Why is it companies that have a paid staff can't put in the simplest of features and yet forum members working from spare parts on their own time manage to create things like Salvager and iso? Something is seriously wrong with this world.

So in exchange for Salvager we get...

1. A multi-colored log:



2. Magical trails of fairy dust following the played cards in their wake:

Does that blue sparkling always come when you buy a Contraband?

Man, I thought MF was going to make an all-new version. This looks like Goko just with more junk. Seriously, they spent almost a year and a bunch of money for what?

If they eliminate all lagging and lobby issues and leave compatibility with Salvager, it's gonna be good enough to stop asking for more, for me at least.

That's not fairy dust: that's what the carrier particles for Buys look like.

I think Salvager is too much to hope for, as it's no longer written in JavaScript.

Salvager is not compatible with unity

No screenshot of the new lobby, so we can still hope for improvement there. Even with Salvager's improvements to match-making (which are great relative to the default), the current match-making is still pretty unreliable. It's the main reason I don't play much Dominion these days.

On the other hand, if they retain the current lobby sans Salvager features, it'll be basically unplayable as far as I'm concerned.

Oh boy.  Well, I guess this could explain why it took so long to hear details.  Probably didn't want to disappoint people.

I find the game near unplayable without the side log... and I really hope the chat box doesn't still pop up, but now I'm worried.

And just saying, the multiple page thing is going to get very annoying when drop tables is in the kingdom.

I guess the one thing we can hope for is that the stability problems are fixed?  Maybe it's too much to hope for.  I hope not.

Why is the Steam Greenlight page now entirely in German? Is anybody else seeing this?

The stability fixes are not worth all that we lose with Salvager, at least not for me.

Steam has a tendency to change your language options on you in the browser version.  You can change it back in the top right corner somewhere.  I was Spanish for years until I found it.

I wrote a post to Making Fun about it, so hopefully they'll reply in a week or so. This new version does look worse at the moment.

This really does look like a missed opportunity. I wonder, though, what that flag is at the bottom, with the settings, log and chat.

In "Debug Mode", it replaces the kingdom-viewing option?

And look at those avatars. Just...zoom in and look at them. Those eyes.
