The Steam Greenlight Thread - SHUT DOWN

Bros, I learned about this game from the Roguelike thread in GRPGD. I don't know why, but I find my self strongly attracted to this game which apparently is a co-op brawler with roguelike elements featuring pixelated sprites with dynamic lighting (!). Consider voting for it on Greenlight if you think it's worthy...

Want to "play through the decline"? Evoland may be just the game for you. While it's "just" a jRPG, it does something really unique and potentially awesome: It evolves as you play, going from 2D monochrome to turn-based Final Fantasy to realtime 3D.

THe irony is, it actually is devolving!

Is cool I guess? Seems like Brutal Legend is one of those games that I would better enjoy watching on youtube rather then playing, like modern iterations of command and conquer/blizzard games.

I played Brutal Legend. Thought it was pretty bad apart from the soundtrack. Story seemed to take itself too fucking seriously for METAL WORLD and the gameplay itself wasn't very good, both as an action game and as a RTS and the two combined didn't make a satisfying mix either.

Not really a case of a game being 'Greenlit,' Morgoth~ Anyway, I can't stand Jack Black so even if this game were good I'd pass.

Anyone have any idea when the next batch of Greenlighting is supposed to be, by the way? Normally Valve has been announcing the dates early, but I can't remember them mentioning one for the next batch.

 

[Jaesun]

IIRC didn't GabeN say they want to get rid og Greenlight?

 

[Metro]

Yes, a buddy mentioned the other day he read exactly that. Gabe is fairly disappointed with how Greenlight is working out and a lot of games live or die based on e-communities like reddit, etc. Not sure when they're going to pull the plug but eventually it will be phased out.

Last week, Valve boss Gabe Newell visited the University of Texas’ LBJ School of Public Affairs and spoke about the “bottleneck” of Steam’s current approval process and possible solutions for getting rid of the red tape. Part of the problem, Newell explained, is the mediocre headway from the Steam Greenlight voting system, “a bad election process” that may even be axed in the future.

“It’s probably bad for the Steam community, in the long run, not to move to a different way of thinking about that,” Newell said. “In other words, we should stop being a dictator and move towards much more participatory, peer-based methods of sanctioning player behavior. Greenlight is a bad example of an election process. We came to the conclusion pretty quickly that we could just do away with Greenlight completely, because it was a bottleneck rather than a way for people to communicate choice.”

Greenlight certainly suffered a rocky launch back in August, with scores of fake submissions peppering the genuine efforts from indie developers. Valve implemented a $100 submission fee as a quick fix, but a larger question looms: are voters part of Steam’s “dictatorship”? Are good games going unnoticed simply because someone gave a thumbs-down for arbitrary reasons such as “too anime” or “looks dumb,” and would replacing it with something else entirely transform Steam into the publishing paradise Newell envisions? Let us know what you think of Greenlight in the comments.

looking dumb or being too anime are not arbitrary reasons, on the contrary they are excellent indicators that the game in question is shit

 

[Infinitron]

I'd be surprised if there isn't at least one more Greenlighting. It just hasn't been announced yet.

In any case, it's great that AoD got through while it could.

 

[Metro]

Lmao, I actually do insta-vote down anything anime looking.

 

[Mastermind]

I don't downvote anything unless it looks like trolling/spam. I'll be sure to add "upvote anything anime looking" to my to do list to counteract the effect of severe retardation.

 

[tuluse]

Downvotes don't actually do anything

 

[Metro]

anime looking ... severe retardation.

anime looking ... severe retardation.

If I judge games purely on art style I'd have missed out on a lot of bland (Fallout) or downright shitty (GB Zelda games, KOTC) looking games that I'm quite happy I didn't pass over due to the satisfying gameplay.

 

[Metro]

There's art style and then there's anime. It's... anime...

Anime art varies wildly. I find something like this perfectly acceptable:
