Project Overview
Clients Quest

Ludeon Studios, the visionary creators behind the renowned sci-fi colony simulator RimWorld, turned to Debased to elevate their online presence. Our goal was to streamline the user journey for the game's DLC purchases and provide a seamless integration for DRM owners to claim their Steam keys.

Digital Transformation

Addressing the key challenge, Debased developed a sophisticated yet user-friendly system to register DRM versions of the game and its expansions directly to Steam accounts. This initiative marked a significant shift towards enhancing the gaming experience for RimWorld’s community of sci-fi enthusiasts and strategy gamers.

Impact and Success

The project's triumph was not just in simplifying the process but in actualizing the savings potential for the DRM users. This led to a surge in customer satisfaction, as they could now unlock their Steam versions without additional costs.

Our Approach
Innovative Solutions

Our team at Debased embarked on a mission to reverse-engineer the Steam registration process, applying robust cryptography, PHP, and SQL solutions. By integrating Captcha libraries, we also strengthened the security of the forums, fortifying the community's meeting grounds.

Partnership Excellence

The collaboration with Tynan Sylvester, Ludeon Studios' founder, underscored the project. His input was vital, fostering an environment where innovation thrived. Together, we tackled technical complexities, ensuring the successful deployment of every DRM owner’s Steam copy.
