Steam Greenlight thread

[divisionten]

Exactly what it says on the tin. Upvoted ten games I'd like to see on Steam, including Giana.

[der_ketzer]

I upvoted 2 for now.

McPixel & DLC Quest

Also: 92 more games were added since I checked...

[Darth Marsden]

I upvoted a couple of RPGs, a couple of adventure games and McPixel. Seriously, McPixel is awesome.

[Gman5852]

McPixel, and nothing else so far.

[Johro]

It's already being abused with requests.
I see Silent Hill 2 & 3...which are not legitimate submissions.

[Gman5852]

I saw Elder Scrolls Arena. Some people just aren't bright... Go to the discussions and found the wonderful "Why steam won't add Minecraft or Battlefield 3"...

[Johro]

Haha Half-Life 3. How did that even get passed?

...well that one lasted 2 seconds.

[GaryCXJk]

FUCK GIANA IS ON GREENLIGHT?!

Holy shit upvote the fuck out of this one, the game looks fucking sweet! And it's funded!

[Darth Marsden]

It was mentioned on the Kickstarter thread, but yeah, Project Giana's up there.

[Harald B]

Another actually interesting one is Transport Giant (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93048349), a big managing sim similar to the old Tycoon games (but by a different developer it seems).

[Johro]

Either this is a really elongated process, or people have shitty taste in games. Nothing I've voted for is passed 7% yet.

[flesk]

I think it takes a large amount of votes to reach 100%. Even Project Giana (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=92852223) with its recent Kickstarter campaign (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/project-giana/project-giana) and playable demo has only reached 10%.

[der_ketzer]

Well Slender Source is at 29%

[Darth Marsden]

I can't imagine it'd take long for Black Mesa to top that (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=94128543&searchtext).

[Rather Dashing]

So the feed has been changed up to show some popular ones and some new ones right away, and a $100 fee to list games has been added, to cut down on fake/joke postings(all money from Greenlight fees goes to Child's Play). On one hand, yeah WTC Plane Simulator, House Fire 2013, and fake listings for Minecraft and Half-Life 3 had to go, but this puts a barrier on extremely tiny developers on a service that is about taking down barriers.

Wouldn't $50 have been a better choice. That seems more affordable for the legitamate developers and still take care of the fakers.

[kikyouchanx]

Science Girls and Fading Hearts needs some love.

[Harald B]

Deadly Rooms of Death sequel/remake (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93811035). The original (of which you can find a freeware version if you look for it) is an amazing classic so this needs your support.

[Darth Marsden]

...why is there a queue now? Can I not just browse through ALL the games, like I could before?

EDIT: Oh, I have to select 'Most recent'. Well, that's confusing.

[Mr Nutt]

At the moment I've upvoted Yogventures!, McPixel and Black Mesa.

[Gman5852]

At the moment I've upvoted Yogventures!, McPixel and Black Mesa.

I'm really surprised none of the three have passed yet.

Yogscast have a massive following, especially when you remember there are more to them than Simon and Lewis, McPixel had Jesse Cox of OMFGcata and pewdiepie backing that up, and Black Mesa has had so much hype for how long now?

[Darth Marsden]

Well Black Mesa hasn't been on there all that long... a couple of days, I think? Maybe a week?

[Darth Marsden]

Hey, here's the list of the first set of games to be released through Steam thanks to being on Greenlight!

- Black Mesa
- Cry of Fear
- Dream
- Heroes & Generals
- Kenshi
- McPixel
- No More Room in Hell
- Project Zomboid
- Routine
- Towns

There's two there that should catch people's attention. Can you see what they are?

[flesk]

I'm guessing Black Mesa and McPixel because they've the only ones I've heard of. There are others I'm more interested in though, but they're not even close yet. Do I win a prize?

[divisionten]

Yay for Towns also making that list! Woo!

[Ribs]

The Doctor Who Adventure Games are up on Greelight now; please downvote them if you care whatsoever about quality determining the games let through. (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93001127)

Woo! MCPIXEL! Saving the day the McPixel way!

"Thumbs down" doesn't actually negatively affect a game, it just removes it from your queue of games you'll see.

[Ribs]

"Thumbs down" doesn't actually negatively affect a game, it just removes it from your queue of games you'll see.

This system is built on a series of lies and trickery!

[Johro]

...or a system where game number 11 couldn't get people to down vote game number 10 to get their spot.

[Gman5852]

Wow. The amount of people flaming Mcpixel for being voted in his astounding. Valve should've never announced their first "wave" of allowed games and just silently did it.
EDIT:Where are the pewdiepie fanboys defending this game? I know he LP'd this game recently...

[der_ketzer]

EDIT:Where are the pewdiepie fanboys defending this game? I know he LP'd this game recently...

They are waiting to make a video of them buying it while their face is also displayed in one of the corners. Heavily overacting.

[Darth Marsden]

The Doctor Who Adventure Games are up on Greelight now; please downvote them if you care whatsoever about quality determining the games let through. (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93001127)As I believe I've mentioned elsewhere (probably the Doctor Who thread), it's just The Gunpowder Plot at the moment, which is the best of the 'Adventure Games'. That's not saying a huge amount, but there you are.

And besides, these games, lame as they are, as still way, way better than the other Doctor Who games we've had recently. OH so much better.

The two games I was specifically referring to were indeed Black Mesa and McPixel, but looking at the other games it's not hard to see why they're on the list. Routine in particular looks stunning.

As mentioned in the description, they're now just intending to sell the full set as a bundle.

Don't be silly! There was that really good 2D platformer in the 90's!

[Darth Marsden]

As mentioned in the description, they're now just intending to sell the full set as a bundle.They're mulling it over. I hope they decide not to, being able to forget about their very existence is possibly the best thing that could happen to TARDIS, save ritual seppuku.Don't be silly! There was that really good 2D platformer in the 90's!I said RECENT. The older games were... mixed. Destiny of the Doctor, anyone?

[Darth Marsden]

Bump.

Here's the next 20 games to be Greenlit (http://kotaku.com/5951900/valve-announces-20-more-games-for-steam-greenlight).

[der_ketzer]

And here a link to a site that tells you the same but isn't terrible:

Dude! Quit hating on Kotaku! GOD!

Yo. (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=95511356&searchtext=)

[MusicallyInspired]

How have I not heard of this...

[Rather Dashing]

Unsure. Unlike the rest of the list, Stanley Parable HD actually got a bit of mainstream gaming press.

[Ribs]

Ah, good, the Adventure Games go without mention. Great work, team.

[Gman5852]

Yogventures? Not hating the yogscast or anything(I quite enjoy watching... everyone but Simon and Lewis :P), but... the game doesn't exactly look good.

[der_ketzer]

Yogventures? Not hating the yogscast or anything(I quite enjoy watching... everyone but Simon and Lewis :P), but... the game doesn't exactly look good.

But it's the game they made through Kickstarter. It's going to be just gre horrible.

[GaryCXJk]

Yogventures? Not hating the yogscast or anything(I quite enjoy watching... everyone but Simon and Lewis :P), but... the game doesn't exactly look good.

Almost total opposite. The almost part being I agree with the last part. But that's because us Minecraft modders just have something against them. I kind of forgot why actually, but I need to stand by my fellow modders, even though I quit modding altogether. Mainly because of the Yogcast probably.

[Ribs]

Everyone just needs to thumbs up You Need a Budget. (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=103234337)

I'd rather play this:

[GaryCXJk]

Actually, that's pretty helpful, and they actually target a broad audience that could use it more often.

That is a foolproof disguise right there!

[Gman5852]

I greenlighted that a while ago. I'm ahead of you Coolsome.

[der_ketzer]

You cannot even vote for it because it is greenlit already.

[coolsome]

Surely everyone was doing it as a joke like I was going to.

[Gman5852]

No. Octodad 1 was actually a clever game. I'd recommend trying it out, it's free.

[Secret Fawful]

Octodad is great.

Cognition looks pretty awesome, it even has Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight) working on it

Anyway, I saw their trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ne7RKSGu22A) and played their demo (http://www.postudios.com/cognition/), so far I really liked what I saw and played (though I wish the demo had harder puzzles, but it's a demo, it's expected to be easy).

Currently they're on steam greenlight waiting to be approved (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CC4QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsteamcommunity.com%2Fsharedfiles% 2Ffiledetails%2F%3Fid%3D92915746&ei=0NTkUObBIo2ThgfKu4CACw&usg=AFQjCNEtDjvhl7UeTuIiJHTl0UvgHfN6Iw&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.d2k) (though, they need our voted for it) and honestly, I want to show my support to indie adventure game devs (hence why I created this thread)

Hopefully the game will get greenlight :)

[Gibbeynator]

I'd love to support Cognition, but I already gave them my vote. At this point, the only way I think Cognition could get Greenlit was if everything ahead of them in the lineup were approved.

[Johro]

I voted it up on day 1. I'm interested.

[Jennifer]

I just voted it up. I have no idea how this managed to slip off my radar, but that oversight is corrected now. :)

[der_ketzer]

it even has Jane Jensen (Gabriel Knight) working on it

Then I don't want it.

[RetroVortex]

Then I don't want it.

Somewhere in ketzer's house is a cushion with a picture of Jane taped to it. It's full of knives...

Not when she also gave us Gabriel Knight 3!

I guess I just prefer focusing on the first two games

Now that Incredipede (http://www.gog.com/gamecard/incredipede) has made it's way to Steam, you can get it for $9.99 for today only as part of GOG's Indie Gem Promo.

If you already bought the game directly from the developer you'll find your Steam key on your Humble Bundle account page.
