You can even see us in the Steam server browser right now! Server browser, friends integration, all the good stuff. On the Steam integration front, we are now ready to go. Steam shouldn’t really affect much in our camp and we know the Steam tools are well battle tested so we won’t be releasing any Steam keys before release. We have tentatively set a Steam EA release date for mid November. We hope to get lots of feedback from you guys on this too, reddit is the place to talk about it. There is no point us fine tuning mechanics where there is no threat of being killed by other players just to release chaos and hope it all goes well. This will also begin the phase of balancing the content for populated servers. In future we will try to give warning when this will happen / keep to a schedule. While we have run simulations, nothing compares with real people doing real things over real world internet connections. To make it fair on the new players we will be doing a wipe of all official servers. What we need now is to cram as many people into the same server as possible and see how it holds up. Today we will be releasing the first set of keys since the Alpha launched. We didn’t feel there was much point letting more people in while there were still large outstanding issues. We are very happy with the first phase of the Alpha. To put things in perspective, there are more Hurtworld videos on youtube than there are active keys. This has been intentional, very few keys have actually been released. Most of you would have noticed the lack of server population in recent weeks. Not everything that we are working on, just the most interesting. Starting this week, we will give a bit of a rundown of where each of us is at. TacticalMyth requested weekly dev updates on our Reddit page, which we think is a good idea.
