    Ive noticed that you have alot of users but not as much as u should and im sure that if u guys put this game on steam under the free section youd hav alot more players just sayin (my friends say they would download if it was on steam cause they use steam so much but theyve never heard of powder toy so theyll download it if it goes to steam)
    P.S. If you dont know what steam is, its like PSN and Xbox Live Put together AND its free

    Powder Toy isn't really the kind of game that would go on Steam. They are for actual game publishers, Powder Toy is just a fun little project.

    I agree, it would be cool, and boost popularity, but I think you have to code it in another language, and if not, you still have to submit it to steam.

    you dont have to code in another language im pretty sure because terraria is on there and its coded with microsofts XNA and .NET frameworks and xfinityward and treyarch made there own language im sure it would work fine and to cracker64 its not a "little project" there on the 64th update?!?! cod 3 isnt even that far up there anyways Im Sure MANY people would love to get this game because face it that Powder Game from Dan-Ball is more popular all of my friends have played that yet theyve never even heard of Powder Toy Which im glad to say Im REALLY happy i found this game because they actually listen too what we have too say well most of us... but still the point is It would be great on steam and many people i know and alot of other 1s had no idea what i was talking about on youtube for example:
    On youtube type:Powder Game
    See how many results there are
    Then type: Powder Toy
    And see how many results you get there, Theres a Huge difference

    Steam is for game PUBLISHERS. We are not an official group who can be branded as a publisher. Anyone can trademark the TPT name. Plus to distribute on Steam with different platforms require it to be recoded for that. It's like running 3 more projects. Steam just isn't right for this in my opinion.

    Well powder toy is already multi-platform, so that wouldn't be the issue. It would just need the steam API.

    But steam is not the place for powder toy.

    You know what's the difference between all the steam games and TPT? The steam games cost MONEY, are licenced by compagnies, TPT is open source.

    actually there are quite a few free to play games. I think some games may even have source available on their site.

    i agree in most parts, but as @cracker64 and @lockheedmartin pointed out steam has its own flaws

    But are made by companies...Right? I don't see why would someone make a open source game and submit it to Steam if not just for advertising their company and other products
