Many of you have asked why we've not launched on Steam yet!
Steam users have lofty expectations and we want to meet all of them. The game simply isn't ready yet for tens-of-thousands of piercingly judgmental eyes! We're a very small company with only a few employees, so it takes a little longer to polish rough edges.
Before launching on Steam we want to get Achievements in, finish up the new harvesting and crafting quests, complete our Leaderboard website, and create the new Guild Treasure system for you to battle over.
We estimate these can be done in about 15 days, but not guaranteed.
If you want to help us prepare for Steam release you can play right now! The game is available on all platforms at www.DIRE.com
