Hello all,

I m really want this game to release in steam with achievements sys, if there a chance and hope for this it will be really cool, plz make this happen .

Releasing on Steam is a +, releasing on Steam for trophies... not so much. Unlike PS3, the PC version would have to scrap a majority of the trophies since the game isn't balanced for them all.

Himmelssturmer on Steam...great idea!
Himmelssturmer on Steam with Steam achievements...hmm, you'd have to take a few out (like unlocking Impossible and Nightmare, considering as how they're already unlocked).
Product key wouldn't be a problem - basically, a person would just create a new account to post high scores online. Only Limited Edition users would need to bother with a product key (considering as how we use a physical disc).
But again, it might be more complicated than it sounds.
Still...food for thought.

Why do achievements matter, I've already removed a few people who lie when I ask if they are a "trophy whore." Just include the possibility of playing through steam and more people will play if they see value.

I wouldn't really care about achievements either.
Still, I think if Himmelssturmer was on Steam, a lot more people would buy it and play it.
As it is now, there's a large percentage of people who don't own PS3s and for whatever reason won't or can't order hard copies of PC games, and strictly use Steam.
Bringing Himmelssturmer to that medium would show a lot of dedication to all types of gamers.
Unfortunately, one of the more difficult things to consider is that Valve would name their own price in exchange for even putting the game on Steam. If Himmelssturmer's Limited Edition PC version sells for, say, $30, and Steam kicked it down to $10 (or maybe even $5, considering as how the IMPROVED PS3 version is only $8 now), sales for the Limited Edition PC version would tumble and they might lose money. Then again, if a lot more people were buying, that could balance the sales. It's a 'risk willing to be taken' factor.
I believe it was the same way (though I'm not certain) with the decision to not release Himmelssturmer as an Xbox Live Arcade title (it would have been more costly to develop for two systems and sales would have had to be equally high for both platforms in order to balance the cost of doing so - in the case of Steam, you're going even further by offering a once-$30 product for $5 - $10, that's an iffy risk).

Yes I really think this game needs to be on Steam. Personally I don't care for achievements, although of-course it would be nice if it had them

A lot of people use Steam mainly for buying indie games. I know I would buy this game again if it was on Steam (well just fix the over 4GB RAM bug first, if it already haven't been fixed).
