I voted for Octodad, and I am definitely not an octopus but a regular guy just like the rest of you

I voted for Octodad, and have no regrets after playing it at PAX. Was really funny and a lot better designed with some refinements, making it feel much more like a game than a concept testing, but still having the clumsy fun of the original.
And I still lovethe unexpected but surprisingly fitting Crhulhu undertones in what I played.

I think this is a bit sad:
And then read this:
"People are making money off his creation (That Slender game is selling tshirts and shit off their website)
He (the original Creator of the SlenderGame) even says on his Deviantart that he does not give people permission to use Slenderman unless it is for personal use / within a small group of friends."
I think its sad, that more people vote for a Game, that seems to break a copyright and support developers that just try to "use" the success of Slender to make some quick money.

I thought "Slenderman" was a community creation/fake mythos created by the likes of 4chan after the Marble Hornets video series came out, rather than a copyrighted name by one specific person. Or maybe one person tried to do that after it was already becoming a common term?
You also seem to have chosen one of the worst screenshots of the Slender game, rather than highlighting one of the more in-game ones. I think I even made an effort to look at the La-Mulana page/screenshots but I don't really like the graphics and the way the game looks. =/ I guess different people are interested in different sorts of games.

I did start out as a SomethingAwful post, and I think Marble Hornet's came after that.
This is a bit unusual for me, like most I've been browsing Greenlight and reporting whenever I ran into content that didn't belong there, I always report fellow gamers for hacking, botting, scams, because that's the kind of snitch I am with cyber cop ambitions, sometimes successfully but often ignored (Diablo 3 bots still active weeks after reporting) but never have I received a thanks as a result until now, pretty happy with the automated gesture.

What?
I'm... I'm pretty sure Slender Man is public domain.
I mean.
Come on. That's like saying you have the patent for zombies.
He doesn't like people cloning his game? Better stop making things about stuff that a lot of people like, then. It's not like people are going in and stealing his art.

There are mods on Steam, so I don't see why they shouldn't be asking to be greenlit. Though I doubt Valve would approve any mod that isn't a total conversion stripped of the IP of it's former game (and anyone elses IP).

You sure that's not a fishing hook (with the pear skin as the bait)?

This is like if there were 10 different Nyan Cat games or Honey Badger games on Steam Greenlight. It may not be copyright infringement, but it's still kinda lame. I'm downvoting all that crap.

Customization is why i am excited for the project.
I thought the whole idea of slender man was that it was some sort of crowd sourced horror mythos type thing.
Not to mention that it's not a terribly original premise in the first place.
Steam cloud support, Steamworks support (cheeves, stat tracking, etc), as well as automated updates. Those sorts of things could come in handy for multiplayer mods.
I guess the question is whether it takes too much bandwidth, since it will be mods that neither the producers nor the consumers are paying for, but still using Steam download etc. stuff?

- Dev plans to update with more levels if it's accepted to Steam
- Free right now, so presumably will be cheap if sold on Steam.

Nobody fucking owns slenderman. I don't know what that guy is smoking.
I love these forums.
Also my steam is stuck in Portuguese and I have no clue why.

Your votes still count, i see that in my favorites (favorited pretty much everything I voted for). But yeah the "games you've rated" is broke for me too.

Its a known bug. Valve is working on it.
Same but if I go to a game it still shows I voted.

Your votes are hidden, not deleted.
This should be in the OP: you can sort the table and go on voting.
The "All Games" section is sorted by "most recently uploaded" now!
There is also a (broken) method to refresh the queue of pending ratings:

I'm surprised to see this, but besides submitting Go! Go! Nippon!, MangaGamer has now submitted Higurashi When They Cry. Before anyone asks, yes this is a legit submission.

I don't see anything wrong with people learning what Greenlight is actually for.

Upvoting right now!!! First thing I've seen that I've actually upvoted. More visual novels on Steam are needed.

Unfortunately how the first Higurashi game looked. I agree the art of the first game left something to be desired, but it was an indie game in Japan and had a very small team with no very talented artists. It was only after it released Higurashi became popular and got a manga, an anime, and other games. It's the writing and the twisted but interesting premise and mystery that got it where it's at.
There is a way to modify the game's files those and replace the sprites for the characters with later game's sprites to make it look much nicer.

Looks quite good.
Meh...I find Ryukishi07's original sprites to be something of an acquired taste. They're horrible and weird at first, but then they kind of grow on you as the story progresses. By the end of the second arc I'd have them no other way.
Eador. Masters of the Broken World was added to greenlight. Rock paper shotgun did a preview last year.
Hm, I finished voting on all games a few days ago and since then I havent gotten any new ones to vote for. However, someone just posted VolChaos, which I havent voted yet for (according to the VolChaos page). Shouldnt games I have not yet voted on pop up in my "personalized vote" list on steam?
Weird, still seems to have some bugs this thing.
Edit: I can't even find VolChaos via the Greenlight search.
Edit2: Wow, the beginning of the trailer for VolChaos is so bad. Dude, if you are reading this, I suggest changing the trailer to only gameplay + music + Text. I assume you are losing many votes with that one.

I just had to watch it after that. I dislike video trailers enough as it is due to the amount of fluff-to-useful information ratio, but this just goes beyond the "wasting my time" thing.

About Slender again.
I am not that "mad"/"sad" about the copyright things. But on the one hand you have an already finished game, that lot of people like.
On the other hand you have some Game that tries to ride on the success of Slender and that seems it hasnt been in development really long. Wouldnt wonder if it started just before Greenlight arrived.
I hope I cleared it up
Upvoted.
