Play in browser

[Bidon]

I would like to know if you bought the game on Steam, if it's also possible to play the game in a browser?

Since every other purchase gives you a guild account. :)

Originally, I was interested in this possibility because the browser version is excellent for running betas. But it turns out Steam's systems are even better and easier to use (builds here are prereleased to WazHack's "next" branch, BTW.

If there are reasons you can think of why the web version would be useful to someone who already has the Steam version, I'm happy to see what's possible.

I regret purchasing the steam version now as I see you get all versions if you purchase off the website :(

Having access to the browser version would be awesome for me though! I'd love to be able to play while I'm at work on break. I don't really feel comfortable installing steam on to a work computer, lol. It'd also be nice so I could more easily show my friends how cool the game is so when multiplayer gets dropped on steam I will have people to play with!

Hi and thanks for the reply Waz.

For me personally, it's not to have access to all the versions but rather to be able to play from another location, which has no Steam installed. I just saw it as a bonus.
Anyways, I'm happy with the purchase. ;)

Regards.

It requires a pretty hefty plugin that would also draw the ire of your IT department - it's basically a sandboxed .NET system.

you should really add multiplayer on steam to

I figured it was built in Unity. I've seen other games (Path of Exile) be able to link data and inventory items. Perhaps overloading that to give access to the web player with a linked account?

I would appreciate being able to play in a browser with my Steam account. It's not so much about it being useful as much as an ease of access issue.

It's on my list, but currently the web player version has bigger problems: Google have now turned off native plugins by default. It's on my list for the Web version to get teh WebGL version working, but that's been pretty unstable on Unity every time I've tried. (fortunately in "chrome://flags/" you can simply turn it back on .... for now).
