Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts on Steam Early Access!

[Nick Thomadis]

Hello Admirals!

Our main forum was down for some time, probably due to the increased traffic. So the news are late by some minutes.... But you have probably read them on Steam already. Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts is now available on Steam Early Access!

PLEASE READ HERE: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1069660/view/3118177241228422800

This does not mean that we lower our development tempo. On the contrary. We are now fully focused on finishing all the main aspects of the game, with more priority on the campaign.

Your feedback is continuously needed!

Thank you all, very much, for all the ongoing support and suggestions!

Priority on the campaign? Does that include the battle AI at least?

I hope you are not asking indirectly to list out all our priorities  All needed things will be done, for AI and other aspects of the game.

I'm not, i'm simply asking if you're focusing on a core problem (the AI) first over a content problem (the campaign)

Congratulations, but it would really be a good idea to remove that trailer showing the movable hull pieces in the designer. You know, the one we all watched when we bought the game months or years ago.

Unless you're planning to implement the system after all... you are lining the game up for a ton of criticism and frankly could be accused of false advertising at this point.

Ok so what do I do to switch over to the steam version then?

Input the steam key when they send it to you via email.

I think the issue is more about how to get the key. Does the store pro-actively send it out to all buyers, or do we have to contact them in some way?

People will do foolish things, and do them with 'enthusiasm', especially if they're rushing to buy videogames without researching first. That onus is on them.

How do I redeem the game on Steam? I've bought the game via official site on Oct 14 2019 and I can't wait to add it to my steam.

OK, I should have read the post on Steam community and be patient.

As posted somewhere else where it looked most appropriate at that time:

 

Congratulations on release!

 

And success for new year 2022 with it!

[PainGod]

Congrats on this.

That said, when are we getting our Steam codes? So far I haven't noticed any mail containing it in my inbox.

Nevermind, should've read the other sticky first.

@Nick ThomadisSo? Are you focusing on the campaign first over core problems?

I just realized something. Once I get my Steam key I'm going to have to rebuild all my designs from scratch again! Damn have like forty designs saved already with another ten in the works. TOSS!

Another reason for support to be maintained for Xsolla.

If you have the Xsolla version and install the steam version it keeps your campaign & naval academy progress - I haven’t checked designs in custom battles yet but those are stored in the same place so I think those will be preserved too.

Everything is stored in appdata, not in the installation folder (except maybe screenshots, iirc). So, yes.
