Hi Terry,

Congratulations on (finally) getting VVVVVV on Steam!  Any chance it supports cloud saves or Steam achievements?  Either would be good excuses for me to give you more money.

Woah, wait, what?! Oh wow, it's actually on there!

Well, huh... Looking at the price there... I think that just made the giant post I wrote in that other thread completely invalid. I won't have the money to buy it for another couple of weeks, probably, so until then I'll eagerly await any kind of word about Steam achievements. The game already has achievements, it would be great if there was a way to share your accomplishments with friends more easily via Steam!

In either case, though, I guess I'll be buying this soon. Congratulations, Terry.

No achievement support, Off hand, I don't think it's possible to integrate steamworks with a flash game.

Anyway, the purpose of writing this post in the first place is to say thanks for putting it on steam.  I have an odd bit of OCD or something wherein only buy games from steam.  Steam at the very least protects me in that I will always be able to re-download the game, and protects my financial info.  It's not that I don't trust you, Terry, but I've never heard of fastspring.

I first encountered VVVVVV when the beta version was leaked to 4chan.

Now that it's on Steam, I've bought it twice so far, one for myself and another for a friend.  (And probably a third time if I can remember the steam ID for another buddy of mine).

My goal is to make VVVVVV popular enough that you have no choice but to make a sequel.

Nice indeed. That's a 2nd purchase for me as well. I've got numerous games where I own boxed/DRM free downloads as well as Steam copies!

Thanks guys

Ah, sorry - I did try quite hard, including making an AIR port and using third party wrappers, but I couldn't get Steamworks integrated with Flash. It might happen at some point in the future, but probably not anytime soon

I'm sorry! I mean to reply to that sooner, but I've been very busy what with trying to sort out this steam thing and everything I'll reply now.

perhaps try contacting steam team to help you out?? i've read on steam forums before that there are developers that sought help from valve and they eventually worked something out. I for one would really love to have all the steam integration and hope it happens soon!!
