Huh, Steam is forcing Eschalon Book 3 to go through Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=169792578

Wow, wtf.

 

[DalekFlay]

Pretty sure any indie without amazing sales is told to go Greenlight now, even though Valve themselves admit Greenlight is flawed.

Don't question Valve though! Gaben is a god!

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

I would vote for Eschalon but every vote that isn't for Zafehouse Diaries is against Zafehouse diaries. I am making a stand.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Valve's Greenlight policy for indie devs looks ridiculous and pretty humiliating, even. Books 1 and 2 are on Steam already, so what the fuck?

 

[Bruticis]

Indie devs humiliated because of greenlight? Oh ho ho, good one.

 

[Spectacle]

Here's something interesting: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/..._from_Steam__for_having_a_Greenlight_page.php

An indie studio has claimed that its game was rejected from Steam because it had an old Greenlight page for the title, and Valve "didn't want to send the message that indies can seek out publishers to bypass Steam Greenlight."

Looks like the Bitcomposer strategy Logic Arts used isn't going to work anymore.

Multi-headed Cow FINALLY BRO!!!! Zafehouse: Diaries
100 Games are greenlit.

There's actually some good shit for a change! Zafehouse, Silent Storm, Neoscavenger, Underrail, The Wasted Land....

 

[tuluse]

About goddamn time Underrail got green lit.

 

[Dexter]

A lot of crap seems to have gotten through too though.
I really hope they know what they are doing and they can somewhat curate all these entries, I don't want Steam to become another "AppStore" phenomenon.

 

[Bruticis]

Become? LOL, good one. Steam is so infested with shovelware shit, it's not even funny. That battle is over, done, lost. At this point I'm just happy to see some non-shit greenlit stuff.

I think some devs use greenlight more as pre-game hype and advertising. Obviously, that won't work for everyone given the shitty way that Greenlight is set up, but with a (relatively) known brand like the "Eschalon" series I could see sales being higher after going through Greenlight for several months as opposed to just suddenly dumping onto steam some random weekday with zero pre-release fanfare.

@skuphundaku

Done, added.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Deadly Premonition now got it's little own store page, system reqs and release date (Oct. 31th): http://store.steampowered.com/app/247660/

Still no price though.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

Looks interesting, anybody played the console version?

Heroes of a Broken Land: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=174039853

skuphundaku Possible collection material. Crooked Bee certainly likes it!

This looks very interesting. Not simply a metroidvania, but actually inspired by Super Metroid, down to gloomy visuals.

 

[Metro]

Episodic Metroidvania?

 

[Dieithrio]

With adventure elements and (possibly) good story. I'm sure interested.
