First person mode again.

The wind animation doesn't seem to be the best for playing.

Moving arm up, so you see only small part, would be better. As you look up, it should move up with your view.

 

Personally, I love the "Realistic third-person View" mode. But due to the inconvenience and slight curvature of the animation, you have to use the usual mode...

No, that's not how copyrights work! I downloaded it! It's mine!

If, for example, you downloaded music, then it's not yours, it has copyrights...

So you're saying I should have bought it on GOG instead??? You're probably right, but that's not really a point in support of Vintage Story coming to Steam.

The Steam Workshop has deleted mods from my server just because the original owner deleted the mod from Steam. It went into my computer and removed the content I downloaded and I was screwed until someone else reuploaded it to Steam. I don't want that for Vintage Story.

No, why? Steam is a great platform, but not ideal.
Alas, this is how copyrights work. Apparently the original owner had reasons for this, and Steam has much more tricks than GOG.

I see you confused, Steam only allows users to write reviews and post in the forum of several games, as well as play multiplayer games with friends and several things more, if you use their store or at least put money into your account. I only have gotten the account because some crowdfunding did surprise me with releasing the game only on Steam (no mention of it before, no alternative) now I have the account mostly for game testing early versions (because Steam seems to make rolling out of updates easier) and for crowd funded games, since I got it anyway I did add games I got through Humble Bundle to my library.

Steam forces updates on its users, breaking working modded games on a regular basis. Any game that can be modded or is intended for modded gameplay, like VS, doesn't work on a plattform like Steam, as you can only have a single installation of the latest version there. That's why I highly expect waves of negative reviews on Steam each time VS would update and break people's setup. Usually people reviewing something are more inclined to do so when it's something negative to tell (just look into this forum and make a ratio of positive vs negative reviews), hence VS might perform badly in Steam reviews and as most professional game reviewers nowadays at least mention the reviews on Steam, a not positive ratio of Steam reviews will impact sales. Of course making an extra launcher like some games have might mitigate the problem, but programming and keeping that launcher up-to-date is additional coding and design work going not into the game itself, not something viable for a game with only 1! full time programmer. Additionally the game's price would have to be increased everywhere to accomodate for Steam's fees, with regional pricing being not an option as long as the game does not suddenly explode in sales, which is not to be expected as on Steam there are at least dozens of voxel based survival games and hundreds if not thousands of horror games and competition everywhere.

Steam Achievements are another thing that need implementation and therefore extra work, regional ones therefore won't happen, I repeat only 1 fulltime programmer.

And what if we ask the community to make at least icons? And those that they like more will get into the game.

God, I hate the Steam Workshop so much. It makes playing Project Zomboid in multiplayer an utter nightmare. I didn't even consider that before posting ITT. 

If you don't like the steam workshop, then don't use it. Let everyone adjust the game for himself as he wants.

I think it's a terrible idea and people should move away from DRM platforms like Steam as much as possible. I don't care how visible it makes the game.

But it's convenient when everything is in one place, on one platform.

Are the developers ready to launch Vintage Story to the Steam platform?

Would you like to buy it there to play?
Is the game good for Steam?
Will there be regional prices?
If so, will there be different achievements (I really want to see it, +100 to motivation), emoticons, frames, mini-profiles, backgrounds, maybe even animated backgrounds?
Write what do you people think about this?

 Temporary total :
1) Steam, alas, collects as much as 30% from the sale of games that VS developers cannot pull yet.
2) There will most likely be no regional prices.
3) The game is still raw to switch to platforms. She is still somewhere else in alpha and if she comes out right now, the game will drown in negative or "mixed" reviews.
4) Anego Studio is already, in fact, a small studio, and for things like backgrounds, achievements and emoticons, at least one new developer will be needed, which can negatively affect the studio's finances.
5) If it will be on Steam, then there will most likely be no problems with choosing the version. Daretmavi showed the screenshot below how it looks.
6) If you switch to platforms, then not only on Steam, button GOG, ETC, etc.
