Gaslamp Games gonna be active on Steam forums?

We will have a presence there. I will personally be there to keep an eye on them and answer concerns.
It is harder to have useful discussion in that format than it is on more compartimentalized forums or places where you can post information and reach everyone, though, which is what Citizen was talking about, and that we might not be able to respond to everyone when there will be way more posts than there is right now.

 

We will not be ignoring steam's forums.

We will be allocating all the time we can to communicate with people, as long as we have time to actually work on the game too.

My point was simply that at a certain point, we can't answer everyone all of the time, and we'll do everything we can to make sure that we use each hour or minute we have to communicate with as many people as we can effectively. We're not sure what the best way of doing that is yet, because it's different for every community and certainly changes as the ratio of users to developers changes. We will try some stuff, and some things we try will work better than others, and we'll learn, and we'll improve.

Communication is really important to us, and it's really important to players, especially in Early Access. We will be constantly trying to figure out how to most effectively reach as many people as possible. Any less and we wouldn't be doing our due diligence, and I honestly don't know how we could possibly do more.

 

For those following saves at home, they're working - modulo a few little teething issues:

 

(I updated it for the latest version! It will be attached to the Steam store as a PDF download. I should also update the version posted here, shouldn't I ... )
