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

    I upvoted 2 for now.

    McPixel & DLC Quest

    Also: 92 more games were added since I checked...
  • edited August 2012
    I upvoted a couple of RPGs, a couple of adventure games and McPixel. Seriously, McPixel is awesome.
  • edited August 2012
    McPixel, and nothing else so far.

    It's already being abused with requests.
    I see Silent Hill 2 & 3...which are not legitimate submissions.
  • edited August 2012
    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"...
  • edited August 2012
    Haha Half-Life 3. How did that even get passed?

    ...well that one lasted 2 seconds.

    FUCK GIANA IS ON GREENLIGHT?!

    Holy shit upvote the fuck out of this one, the game looks fucking sweet! And it's funded!
  • edited August 2012
    It was mentioned on the Kickstarter thread, but yeah, Project Giana's up there.
  • edited August 2012
    Another actually interesting one is Transport Giant, a big managing sim similar to the old Tycoon games (but by a different developer it seems).

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

    I think it takes a large amount of votes to reach 100%. Even Project Giana with its recent Kickstarter campaign and playable demo has only reached 10%.
  • edited September 2012
    Well Slender Source is at 29%

    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.

    Deadly Rooms of Death sequel/remake. The original (of which you can find a freeware version if you look for it) is an amazing classic so this needs your support.
  • edited September 2012
    ...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.
  • edited September 2012
    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?
  • edited September 2012
    Well Black Mesa hasn't been on there all that long... a couple of days, I think? Maybe a week?
  • edited September 2012
    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?

    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?
  • edited September 2012
    Yay for Towns also making that list! Woo!
  • edited September 2012
    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.

    This system is built on a series of lies and trickery!
  • edited September 2012
    ...or a system where game number 11 couldn't get people to down vote game number 10 to get their spot.
  • edited September 2012
    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...

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

    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!

    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.

    I said RECENT. The older games were... mixed. Destiny of the Doctor, anyone?
