Friday update 19.05.2017 – Ratchat 27.05!!

Today we have launched our, “Steam Store Page,” with a status of coming soon. We have a Rat Chat planned for Saturday May 27th which will be the most interactive and inclusive Rat Chat we have ever done. Our entire team is preparing everything for the Steam launch, and today I will give you a quick update on what that means in terms of our developments.

 

STEAM STORE PAGE – OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED

“Coming Soon” means we are now searchable inside of the Steam Store. This will help us aggregate interested customers in preparation for our “Early Release” soft launch. We have decided to go Early Access very intentionally to buy us some grace with the Steam community base and make sure we ease onto the massive platform effectively before the “Full Release” cannon comes into play.

This will give us the time necessary to iron out any kinks and take in feedback from our current customers and new Steam players as well so that by the time we do full release, we are as prepared as possible.

Important Links:

It should be noted that if you have an account here with us, you will be unable to transfer that account / data to your Steam account. We will however be removing many old taken account / game names currently in our database that have been dormant for awhile.

CURRENT STEAM PRIORITIES

  1. Wrapping up all billing communication from their servers to ours.
  2. Finalizing the Steam user sign up flow.
  3. Steam UI (Steam users will not be using Playgate, we’re integrating that as part of the client).
    1. Steam will have its own Mac and PC client.
    2. Our plan is to have this feature available in the future for our organic customer base.
      1. Organic customer base refers to what all of our current customers are, non-Steam channel.
  4. Final touches on infrastructure preparation.
    1. This will include some down time to add additional power to our colocation.
    2. More details on this will follow, we will need your patience.
    3. We are trying to get our servers to be able to hold up to 4,000 concurrent users.
      1. That means they’re all logged in at the same time – wouldn’t that be awesome?
    4. This also includes having back up servers ready to go.
    5. Final bandwidth / ISP configurations.
  5. Facilitating the growth and interest of our Steam Pages / Community Hub.
  6. Preparing our content pipeline for initial and post-Steam launch.
  7. There’s some more under the hood stuff I’m not mentioning.

INTERACTIVE RAT CHAT – MAY 27TH

We have some great new software which will allow us to have the most interactive and broadly distributed Rat Chat we have ever done, and that excites the hell out of me. We will be able to host 150 people in our webinar AND we will be redistributing the feed to Facebook & YouTube live, simultaneously.

You will see presentations from our staff members in a very organized environment. We have some really exciting stuff to show you and we’re not about to spill the beans here =)!

So it would be a fantastic idea for you guys to make it in force, you will want to hear all of this news.
