Hi guys, I think that this game looks very nice, but I have a question. I own Starbound in steam, and I like the idea of use Steam only when I want. I can run Starbound without use Steam just running the game from folder's game. Are you going to let people run this game like that (without Steam)?
Currently there are no plans to support a non-Steam version. WA is, at its core, an online experience and we heavily use Steam networking to get the most out of the users experience. Maybe post-launch we can explore other launch possibilities.
