Please have a look at this topic, especially the second page.

Yes. I think you should go for it. Teeworlds is a fun game, and will become very popular if you put it on steam. I have introduced this game to my friends at school, and now they are regular players at home. Their only regret is that they hadn't found out about this sooner. Go! Put Teeworlds on Steam! The Teeworlds community will grow!

The last post was more than 3 years ago.

Some updates. Steam is today available for Windows, Mac and (GNU)/Linux.
I'm not asking for Teeworlds to be found in the Steam Store but I just want to ask something about the Steam integration that Teeworlds has.

When I play teeworlds I do it through having it added as a Non-Steam game in my game library. It is not just a shortcut to the game but when I launch it through Steam I get access to a function called "Steam community".

Is there any programming in Teeworlds that enables this "Steam community"? Not all games have this feature, like Simutrans, Battle for wesnoth or FlareRPG. Why does Teeworlds have it?

I don't think, that this would creat a second community, because it's the same game anyway!

It would be a good way to provide Teeworlds for a lot of users, that would never know Teeworlds.

It would also create 2 separate communities where both developers and mods would have to invest their time in. Steam wouldn't allow multiple version which would be strange considering 50% still plays 0.4.3. I think that the main problem is that Teeworlds would have too choose between either Steam or the existing way. Both would be impossible to maintain and tear the community a part.

Nah. steam is horrible. unless you can put it on steam but when you download it, it can be exactly the same as the one on this site (no modifications for steam). and it is an option to play it in steam. anyways, i own a mac so i dont like the idea of steam. (if it slows down development its even worse.)

Steam would be an option, not an obligation... for example quake 3 arena. can be played either with or without steam...

you DONT NEED TO USE STEAM even if teeworld is provided under it aswell

hope all people got this message now

I TOTALLY DISAGREE with this idea.
Why ? Because I think it's just a waste of the memory usage and maybe -space.

We (or just I) don't need extra Steam support, this game is already good enough supported.

The annoying part of this also is: you MUST have Steam running. And go the hell away with the messages that popups suddenly ingame... Bleh.

Yeah, aede is right. steam is a gaming platform and games provided under steam can be played without steam aswell if you allow it

It's possible that you can use Teeworlds on Steam like other Steamgames, but you willn't loose linux and mac users, they can use the normal version.
The windows version can stay like it is, but for more people you can provide it in steam who connect to the same masters etc.

All in all it's the same, but with a wider count of users.
You don't take anythink what is bad.

101kl: I won't use Crossover on my Mac. I installed it a few times and it never worked with a single application!

I don't think so

There are some unofficial versions available but this would be far from the ideal situation. I think this is one of the reason why the developers should really think if it would be for the good or bad to take interest in this commercial application.
