Demo build is approved, now waiting for the store page approval. #steamnextfest
Small update on the Steam Demo release: The Demo has a separate "Store page" which needs to be reviewed, which takes 2-3 working days. There was a little issue, the Library Logo had to specifically state that this is a "Demo" (which I falsely thought would be implied by the…
I just learned that for #steamnextfest there is a press preview going out 10 days in advance. That was yesterday evening. Best to have your demo up by then for best chances of press coverage.
Will have to remember that one for the next time. Now I'm scrambling to get demo site…
My User Authentication and Leaderboard system now has a Unity SDK prototype with a neat feature. SignIn methods run in a configurable cascade, meaning e.g. when no Token is present, it tries Username/Password and if that's not present it defaults to anonymous authentication.…
