Develop, upload and boom. Online!
If there is one thing that I really love about Steam is how clear everything is.
Not that I dislike other platforms, on the contrary, I like them very much. Steam, however, never fails in the offer for both the developers and the players.
One example is the possibility to distribute the soundtrack of our upcoming game, DREAMERS, to anybody who may be interested in it.
You know, after working so long on a project we can't wait to release it, but at the same time, being this our first massive production, we want it to be impeccable.
So yeah, while we keep polishing the game, the UI, the camera and the localizations, we want to share with you our amazing soundtrack.
How to do so? well, we extended our brand identity by adding the "music publishing class" so that we are eligible to handle such a task, and then we uploaded it on the main music streaming platforms.
Somehow, however, this felt not enough because most of them require some subscription or membership, excluding YT which is nowadays quite rich in advertising between the songs (you gain something and you lose something I guess).
So, the idea was "what if we develop our own audio player?" and yet we did it, but that is another story.
What is relevant to Steam, and what it makes it so amazing is that a soundtrack can be distributed by leveraging on Steam's audio player!
So again: develop, upload and boom. Online!
Were you aware of this feature? What do you think about our soundtrack?
Come on, let me know something in the comments below, I can't be always writing to myself here!
