Valve Greenlights 100 New Titles

Valve says it's time to stress-test its developer tools and systems, so it's given the greenlight to a whopping 100 new titles on Steam.

Until now, Valve has handed out Steam Greenlights in small batches - a few here, a dozen there, that sort of thing. But today that's all out the window. Today, it gave the Greenlight to 100 new titles, all at once.

"This latest milestone is both a celebration of the progress we've made behind the scenes and a stress test of our systems," Valve said in the announcement. "Future batches are not likely to be as large, but if everything goes smoothly we should be able to continue increasing the throughput of games from Greenlight to the Steam store."

And now, the list:

Whew! That's a lot of stuff. I recognize a few of the names in the list, like Escape Goat, The Plan and A Walk in the Dark - good games all - while some of the others barely qualify even as just working titles. But the important thing is that if this massive wave of green lights doesn't bring the system to its knees, we should see a lot more quality stuff appearing on Steam in the future. That's good news for indie game devs, and good for gamers, too.

Just saw this on Steam.

What a mess.

 

[teqrevisited]

They finally gave Paranautical Activity the go ahead, eh? Still, I bet nothing's really changed in terms of their arcane approval system.

 

[ScrabbitRabbit]

I'm really looking forward to Freedom Planet. It's like a cross between old-school Sonic and Rocket Knight Adventures. THe demo suggests it might possibly my favourite indie platformer ever, when it comes out.

 

[mechalynx]

Shadow of the Eternals. I didn't trust them with crowdfunding, but I voted for the game on Steam.

Then shot down 5 other titles.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Armikrog, Bridge It, Freedom Planet, Paranautical Activity, Running With Rifles, Shantae, Signal Ops, and Super Amazing Wagon Adventure finally got Greenlit?

... yaaay! Seriously, this is probably one of the better batches of Greenlit games so far, so consider me happy about this one.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Hmm, this can only be good news really. I don't really know of any of the games on there though - Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land sounds familiar for some reason, and I am a sucker for Cthulhu games so I might give that a try though. But yeah, none of those names sound familiar...

Escape Goat

You what? I had no idea I shared a name with a game. I feel compelled to buy this now and see what it's like.

 

[Ghonzor]

I like how several of the games begin with "Legend(s) of [blank]."
Some really creative titling there.

 

[Baralak]

I'm glad Chroma Squad made it in! It was the first game I ever backed on Kickstarter!

 

[Andy Chalk]

What a mess.

How so?

You what? I had no idea I shared a name with a game. I feel compelled to buy this now and see what it's like.

Really? I just assumed you were a big fan, if not connected to it somehow. It's a really good puzzle-platformer, retro styled and very tough. More info here: http://www.gamezebo.com/games/escape-goat/review - and a sequel is in the works!

Valve Greenlights 100 New Titles
Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game

Hell yes, those guys have been sticking this out since the beginning of Greenlight!

What? I'm a car nerd with a penchant for designing my own cars and running a car company, sue me.

 

[Zachery Gaskins]

Artemis? ARTEMIS. If you've ever wanted to play someone on the bridge of the Enterprise, this is the game to get. Everyone gets a part to play and everyone's part matters.

Definitely going to need some voice chat assistance, though.

Bunny Must Die! Chelsea and the 7 Devils
Salvation Prophecy: A Military Space Epic
Shadow of the Eternals
Shantae: Risky's Revenge

YESSSSSSSSS. Been waiting on those 4 for a long time, and there are a few others that look like fun. On the other hand I don't recognize a fair portion of the other names on this list, and given that a fairly large portion of every batch tends to consist of over-glorified flash games, indie wank, zombie games, and Amnesia knock offs, I don't really care.

 

[RaikuFA]

Legend of Iya

One of the only games I backed through Kickstarter. It reached it's goal by a nose. Now it's being released on Steam? Oh happy days. It's a Metroidvania with Secret of Mana esque art style.


Yes, that is a elephant with gatling guns for tusks at 1:50.

 

[josemlopes]

Shadow of the Eternals, lol, some poor guy lost his place to that game.

Either way some look very lackluster and way to ambitious (the kind that never gets released) but since the vote was made by the community lets see.

 

[GAunderrated]

Just saw this on Steam.

What a mess.

Exactly! I wasn't for their previous position of selecting a few every month but this is just over-saturation and they know it

 

[porous_shield]

It's about time Gray Matter got on Steam. That game has been out for ages.

 

[Don Incognito]

Excited for Silent Storm. Artemis sounds interesting as well. And I'm always down for a well done tycoon game, so Automation may be right up my alley.

 

[Penguinplayer]

Croixleur and Shantae, aw hell yeah!

Also, Multimedia Fusion 2? Really? Does anybody even uses that anymore?

 

[momijirabbit]

Freedom planet got greenlit?
Yes, I wanted this to be greenlit since it appeared.
