This is where all of us Steamtards/GabeN disciples link to and discuss indie games up for 'fan approval' on Steam's Greenlight 'platform.'

I'll start if off with three:

It's a Wipe! -- A parody 'management' game where you run an mmo guild's raids:



Cards and Kingdoms -- Part Zelda (first one), part Realm of the Mad God, with various strategy city building/resource stuff, too.



Folk Tale -- A Guild (2) clone done in the Unity Engine.

What is Steam Greenlight?
Steam Greenlight is a new system that enlists the community's help in picking some of the next games to be released on Steam. Developers post information, screenshots, and videos for their game and seek a critical mass of community support in order to get selected for distribution. Steam Greenlight also helps developers get feedback from potential customers and start creating an active community around their game as early in the development process as they like.

Why hasn't it always worked this way?
Over the many years that Steam has been selling games, the release rate of games on Steam has continued to grow significantly. But given Steam's existing technological pipeline for releasing games, there's always been a reliance on a group of people to make tough choices on which games to not release on Steam. There are titles that have tied up this internal greenlight group in the past, and we knew there had to be a better way.

With the introduction of the Steam Workshop in October 2011, we established a flexible system within Steam that organizes content and lets customers rate and leave feedback. This opened up a new opportunity to enlist the community's help as we grow Steam and, hopefully, increase the volume and quality of creative submissions.

We know there is still a lot of room for improvement in making Steam distribution easier and faster; this is just a first step in that direction.

How does this differ from other stores’ submission processes?
The prime difference is the size of the team that gets to decide what gets released. For many stores, there is a team that reviews entries and decides what gets past the gates. We're approaching this from a different angle: The community should be deciding what gets released. After all, it’s the community that will ultimately be the ones deciding which release they spend their money on.

So basically Steam has so many games developers want to sell through it they can't afford the staff to review them all so they're getting the fans to show what they're willing to buy by rating upcoming games. They can also add games they don't see.

Problem is the number of games is huge and almost all of them are copycats/retro rehashes/cheaply made.

THEY CAN ALSO ADD GAMES THEY DON'T SEE BY MAKING THEM UP ON THEIR OWN!

At least I hope these games are made up...

The Election is coming, but not inside a voters booth. It will be decided on the battlefield! Battle for Presidency puts the player in the leader’s shoes. Enter the Oval Office and become one of the Presidents. Stand your ground in a fight to see who was and always will be the greatest! Battle for Presidency is a revolutionary new title that pulls the world into the action and grows with every fight - the more players the bigger the tournaments. You are the next President! Choose your candidate based on the true personalities of historical characters. The battle field is non-partial so every character is an instrument of their constituent! If you are a fan of a particular President, your hero awaits.

True, we should support that shit. Giana Project is on it as well, although the Kickstarter is still running. A lot of derpy projects that I vote down, but the shit-pile is immense. Too bad the Inquisitor RPG is not on it (yet?) it would make a fine addition. Supported Styg's project ofcourse.

"Oh...GOD! I pick up the dog sh*t (Wow, sh*t really DID come from a dog) I raise it to my mouth, and I begin to chow down...After a couple bites...*HOOMPH*! *BLAAAAAAH*!!! God, I think I got friggin' food poisoning! My stomach feels ready to explode again! *HOOMPH*! *BLAAAAAAAAGH*!!!!!!

[Godly voice says] Well, you died because you wasted too much time, what the h*ll are you going to do NOW? (YOU DISGUSTING PIG!)"

Reactions:

1. God, I really love text adventure games! Up voted!

2. Text adventure games suck, that's like something you'd play on DOSBox!

Also...

(from the description)

"====System Requirements====
This game can run on even the crappiest rig! (Why would a computer have to BE GOOD for just text, anyway?)"

(from the comments)

"Why would you vote down, except to keep other players from playing this game on steam?
What's the point except being a selfish asshole?"

Haha, I was crazy into Crimsonland for a while. It's one of the only non-RPGs I was ever good at. I'll definitely support it.

Some of my pals are working on an Alex Kidd-inspired platformer called Buck and Miles. It's in pretty early stages now, I think they jumped the gun a little on putting it up, but it looks very good and I know they're going to follow through on it. Give it your vote if you think it looks good!!!
