DROD on Steam? (+1)

Have the DROD people talked to Valve about putting DROD on Steam? I myself have a game on Steam and it's a fairly simple process to add support to their overlay to any C/C++ game that supports OpenGL.

I don't know the current sales figures, but I figure a re-release of each game there would sell at least 5-10 thousand new copies for what'd amount to a month or two of programming effort.

This has been discussed
Here
Here and
Here

No definite conclusion has been reached from the looks of it.
My impression was that this was not a bad idea, but required someone to run with it, and generally the dev team are swamped with other DROD projects (patches, smitemasters selections, new DROD game) and life outside DROD.

Is someone new able to coordinate this?

Whoa, you're that Zaratustra? Nice.

Good luck with that, then. I dunno what's stopped Mike in the past, exactly, but someone who's traversed that trail before might be what he wants/needs.

Cool beans. Thank you for the assistance!

FWIW, I loved Zeux's World. I'll have to dig that up again some day.

Ah, Zeux's World.. It's one the best I have played.

And thank you, Zaratustra.
