In certainly the best news of the week, Treasure—the Japanese studio whose catalogue includes all-time greats like *Sin and Punishment* and *Gunstar Hereoes*—is making a game for Steam. The company has previously ported their classic polarity-flipping shooter *Ikaruga* to the digital platform, but now they’re thinking about doing original stuff. Details are sparse, as the game seems to only exist as a nebulous idea at this point, but, in an interview with Famitsu, translated by way of [Siliconera](http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/29/ikaruga-developer-treasure-will-make-original-game-pc/?ref=killscreen.com), the Treasure bossman hinted that it could be “a side-scroller action game.” Though “side-scrolling action game” ordinarily doesn’t speak to us much, when Treasure utters the words “side-scrolling action game,” our hearts go a-thump.

This right here is the brilliance of Steam. It’s a platform that gives a venerable studio like Treasure the ability to keep doing what they do, which is to make insane and extremely-polished action games. Or as they put it in the interview, “to make whatever you like, and release it however you like.” [Cave, are you listening?](http://killscreendaily.com/articles/news/cave-last-great-maker-shootem-ups-has-jumped-ship/?ref=killscreen.com) There’s hope yet!
