I'm excited for the Steam release because now my friends will have no excuse to not download it.
Me, personally, I like to host my own server, and I imagine that I will continue to host after the game comes out on Steam. Now, there's this real keen feature on Steam that keeps track of how much time you've spent in a game or software, measured in hours. As such, I'm afraid I'll rack up an unreasonable amount of hours for Superfighters because I keep my dedicated server running ~24/7, and if the server window is run from the same program as the game, Steam will detect them as the same thing. Will this be a problem?

Starting the server doesn't require steam, only the game files, so you could start the server directly from the installation folder and steam won't count your playtime.

Will map making count as play time? Or will there be a button out of game to open the map editor?

You can only access the editor by first launching the game - so the editor will count towards playtime.GreenyShark wrote: ↑Mon Aug 27, 2018 8:36 amWill map making count as play time? Or will there be a button out of game to open the map editor?
