Awesome! I'm not planning on a non-steam version, but you should be able to play with steam in offline mode if that helps.

Ah, you're right. It used to let you play if steam was opened, even if you weren't logged in (ie.. sitting on the log-in popup) . But I tried that and it doesn't work now. Shame, I don't really want the DRM stuff, just to use steam's matchmaking features when available. I probably won't do a non-steam build for now though, just because I want to keep it clear which is the paid version.
