Following an intense alpha weekend test, Hero’s Song is going into early access on Steam today as planned. The title is scheduled to go live at 11:00 a.m. EST.
“It needs more time and love, but I’m confident it’s going to get that since it’s our sole focus,” John Smedley wrote on Facebook. “It’s releasing earlier than we would like, but our commitment to updating it at a constant pace and to the vision that has always been there for what we are trying to make will keep us making it better and better for a long time to come!”
During the alpha test, the team released a couple of updates, including a patch that added a way for Steam friends to join the same worlds while the game was offline.
we still can't get on to the Steamworks developer site to push our Early Access build (which is fully ready to go).

Well we were able to upload our build via the steam command line tools but we can't login to Steamworks to flip the switch to live :(

We will be live the second the Steamworks partner site is back up and allows us to set it live.
