Greenlight Goes On For 14 More Games

[Kapol]

Here I was hoping that The Dead Linger was going to make the cut. It's one of the games I backed the kickstarter of, and the alpha being on Steam would likely have helped them get more sales. Oh well.

Deadly Premonition makes it to steam?
They shall surely get all of my green!
So says Mister Stewart

G... N... in the coffee.

Wonder what that means...

Nice to see I'm not the only person looking forward to Freedom Planet.

I voted for it as soon as I saw it. It's one of the few I've cast a vote toward.

I'll echo the celebrations about A Hat in Time, it's been too long since I got to play a cute, silly 3D-platforming collect-a-thon.

And BROFORCE looks absolutely hilarious, if the videos the Yogscast did are anything to go by.

So happy to see Chasm make it though. That's just one great looking title. Also excited for Hat In Time and After the Sleep. Greenlight is a garbage system, but at least the good stuff does get through sometimes.

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

So I have learned three things from this:
1. Being "survival horror" or pretentious artsy bullshit is the fastest way to get your game greenlit.
2. I'm the only person who wants a PC port of Shantae.
3. There are actual really humans who want to pay money for Divekick.
I'm not sure which of these makes me the most sad.

I was just thinking the same thing.

No shoutout at all about Divekick?

Divekick was a joke taken too far. I'll admit the game has a surprising amount of Meta for its concept... but still. A joke taken too far.

Yeah, Divekick, It should be some free flash game.

I'm actually ok with joke concepts taken to a full game, Surgeon Simulator is actually pretty good even though it started as some kind of spiritual sequel to QWOP. But Divekick seems so shallow game play wise it should not be paid for.

But still, A Hat in Time, glad it got on.

 

[Strelok]

Yes, Among The Sleep made it, so glad I backed them, the Alpha was amazing, can't wait to see the final game.

Edit: Dive Kick? Is that garbage a joke? Looks like a flash game from Newgrounds.

 

[infohippie]

I'm glad I voted for Darkwood, Starmade and Among the Sleep.

I'll echo the celebrations about A Hat in Time, it's been too long since I got to play a cute, silly 3D-platforming collect-a-thon.

There don't seem to be many collectathon games anymore that echo like how it was back in the N64 days. I mean the only thing really close to a collectathon with freedom like A Hat in Time nowadays are the Zelda games. I'm honestly really excited for the game, especially since Grant Kirkhope is doing some of the music for the game.

 

[IndianaJonny]

Glad to see BROFORCE up there.

 

[RicoADF]

Looking forward to seeing Recruit on the steam store, looks like it'll be a fun game
Will defiantly check out the other games as well.

 

[an annoyed writer]

Glad A Hat in Time made it. It looks SOOO CUUUTE! I wonder if I can get it to work with the xbox controller that I have for my PC... Too bad I won't be able to play it anytime soon. My gaming rig is down D:

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

FUCK YEAH! DIVEKICK FINALLY GOT GREENLIT!

I've been waiting for that to happen for ages.

 

[Erttheking]

Centration looks really interesting, hoping to play that with my friends one day.

 

[SecondPrize]

Hooray for Darkwood, was hoping that'd get through ever since I saw it on "you should read this"

 

[Naeras]

Divekick!

Now, if you'd all excuse me, me and my friends is going to have a drinking game in which you have to drink whenever you get headshot, perfected or frauded in that game.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

Nice to see project awakened get through, that game deserves it. Lets hope they can get on early access and actually fund the game.

Me too. That game is like Frankenstein, it just will not stay dead. It'd be on of the few Early Access games I'd support.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

Let's see how sluggishly long it take for this round of games to be put up?

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

Divekick got Greenlit?

Seriously, this is one of the major reasons I HATE Steam Greenlight.

That game is also the reason I do my part and vote down as much crappy games like Divekick as possible. I don't think Valve needs to be in the business of selling flash games.

 

[AzrealMaximillion]

I really don't like greenlight and wonder why it even exists in the state it's in. All it is now is just a popularity contest with only arty and/or "retro tribute" games being approved while actual games that people put their heart into have to keep giving Valve $100 just for another chance(I just realized, Greenlight is the War Z when it comes to this.). Then you have to make sure that totalbiscuit guy dosen't hate it and if he hates it, well, don't expect any sales.

Plus, if Mutant Mudds can't get greenlit even after the controversy surrounding the game being put on there through normal means then it has fucked up.

I agreed with you up until You mentioned Total Biscuit. I saw him give a review on Fist Puncher. It was less of a review and more of TB being filled with rage at the fact that so many games go the "retro tribute" route and half ass the game itself. (Evoland....) Needless to say, he hated Fist Puncher.


Fist Puncher has still sold decently thanks to that retro look and the fact that its called Fist Puncher. People think its a funny game. Too bad the game kinda blows.


Also with Mutant Mudds. Its another in a long line of overrated indie platforming titles. And its not as good as other overrated titles. I don't know what it is about the game that how people so angry its not on Steam. Someone explain this to me.
