Steam workshop support is now live for Democracy 3

Right, it’s early days… but steam workshop support is active and live and anyone can use the content there, and upload it. I have one modder with an upload problem I’m investigating, but generally I think it works.

I urge all modders who have already listed their content on the modding forums at the democracy 3 website to re-upload their mods to steam workshop if they have a steam copy (or a steam key from a direct copy!), as I suspect workshop might get quite popular.

I’ve put together a guide on steam (under guides/modding or configuration) and also put together this here short explanatory video:

If anyone has any problems uploading or downloading just give me a shout. I think modding democracy 3 has a lot of potential, and I’d love to support the modding community as much as possible. BRING ON THE MODS!

  1. Oh my gosh, while it is very nice to get my content in front of more people, I was not quite expecting the quality of feedback to drop quite so dramatically. While I haven’t always completely agreed with every comment I’ve received on the forums, they were all generally thought through and made sense. People offer criticism constructively and they are generally polite.

    This is compared to the Steam comments, where the comments on the DES Pack are currently mostly people arguing about whether zombies belong in video games and the comments on the LGBTQ Rights mod, which has been there for less than a week, already include someone calling me (or all LGBTQ people? difficult to say) ‘disgusting scum’ and inviting me/us to ‘get AIDs’. The most impressive part about this is the person who posted the latter comment, and indeed a few people who’ve posted other insane comments including declarations of love and one comment that just read ‘aaaaaaaaaaa’, don’t even own Democracy 3.

    I have a reasonably thick skin for this sort of stuff, but I would give a heads up to anyone who posts stuff to the Steam workshop, there are some truly awful and truly weird people lurking there. The Positech community seems genuinely nice, while the Steam community is a horrifying cesspit.

  2. Yeah I just deleted some posts there. Steam forums and discussions are second only to youtube. You should see some of the personal abuse I’ve had to delete as the developer… It is quite sad but just best to ignroe it and get on with your life without these people :D
