Launched Steam Greenlight!

Valve (Half-Life, Left4Dead, Team Fortress 2, etc) launched a service that allows players to influence which games appear on Steam (the largest digital platform for distributing games on a PC). Now any developer can send his game for consideration, and if the game is supported by enough players, Steam employees will definitely pay attention to it, and it is quite likely that it will be published.



This is just great news for both players and independent developers.

Players can now click the button to declare which games they are interested in, and developers get a more transparent process of sending a game request for publication due to fast and obvious feedback.



I, I will tell you, already sent the game - very simple and convenient. Valve promise to improve and update the system to make it even easier and more convenient. You should not pay attention to the numbers like “This game has attained n% of necessary positive ratings so far”, the FAQ says that they will adjust the system according to circumstances, and the role that the attention and support the game receives relative to other games will play a role.

I also watch games, of course, Sturjon's Law works here, but there are some very interesting ones . Unacceptable transfers (other people's games, trolling) are promptly removed.



Vote for the games that you want to see in the incentive , share the findings and your games in the comments.



PS On September 5, Steam will appear non-gaming software , software means. Greenlight will also be used for selection.



Addition:

A little about your experience, maybe someone will come in handy.

Especially here the presentation is important - for a start to make an intelligible, good description of the game, I advise you to read this note here ( transfer to Habré ) Screenshots, trailer.

Now the game has about 6,500 views, about 60% of the votes in favor, about 200 visits to the game on my site.

I generally did not expect to post my game there - it is short and simple, but I decided to try for the sake of interest, seeing how many different games of different quality and readiness there already appeared, with the promise to improve and develop it, add more content, making it longer and more interesting if it passes. I didn’t bother with the trailer just picked up a recently made flysley.

Some users do not read the description, and write something like, this game is too short and simple for the stim, but mostly the reviews are positive. Added a screenshot describing the plan to add content to the game and improve it.
