It was no secret thatOrion: Preludewas targeting Steam, and had been since its first public appearance. As of today, Spiral Games Studios is no longer aiming for this to happen — itishappening. The sci-fi shooter which inexplicably features dinosaurs is now on for a 2012 Steam release.
It’ll have Steamworks integrated, meaning a few things. So far, Spiral has confirmed achievements, leaderboards and statistics, add-on content, lobbies/matchmaking, and a server browser. Registration for the multiplayer beta is still being offered onthe official site.
Every time I seeOrion: Prelude, it looks noticeably improved. I’m hopeful. Give thislatest footagea look, if you want to see why that is.
