Support NeoGAF

[Razek]

Some of these developers dreams have just been realized. I'm really happy for them.

 

[Interfectum]

Can you post links to the game's steam pages?

[The M.O.B]

I voted "yes" to nine of those. Kenshi was the only one I said no to because it looked ugly and way too ambitious for a small team of no names.

 

[subversus]

There was a stealth game which looked like a very good Mirror's Edge ripoff. How is it doing? Can't look it up right now.

 

[Teknoman]

lol I bet the reaction video is what got Cry greenlit.

 

[Struct09]

McPixel and Black Mesa were the two I wanted most

 

[Kouriozan]

Towns! YES!
I already bought it, but having it on Steam is way better, goodbye Desura

 

[TheWrathOfSean]

Really excited Routine got in. Great visual style.

 

[Ravensmash]

So...Project Zomboid looks cool.

REALLY cool....may have to purchase.

edit: bought

 

[pakkit]

Voted for Routine, so glad it got in.

The one with the Borderlands-esque art style? I was hoping to see this too. edit: Purge.

Dang, Mutant Mudds is only at 3%.

 

[RionaaM]

I thought they still had to pass through Valve's internal selection process, it's amazing to see how fast these games have gotten the OK to be released on Steam.

 

[fifasnipe2224]

Very happy about BMS, but Gnomoria > Towns.

 

[Tain]

Routine is the only one that I care about, and while I like the concept, it's just that. Hoping for the best, though!

 

[NewFresh]

With the high rollers out of the way, I guess more people will vote for the games with less percentages.

 

[hym]

No I think it was always mend to be a free mod, and I agree even if they wanted to I think they can't sell it because of Valve owns the rights to everything in the mod.

If I were Valve I would sort a deal to have it included in Half-Life: Source and have maybe 20% of the proceeds from that point on go to a fund that the Black Mesa mod team can democratically make use of. That way it would be free for 99% of the people that have been waiting for it anyway and still very cheap for those that don't have HL:S and they would of course still be allowed to release it for free outside of Steam.

 

[dark_inferno]

Im so excited to supported such good games.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Great to see titles coming out already.

Project Zomboid?

Wasn't there a whole mess of stuff surrounding that? Scammy business, a robbery that left them without any code, no backups, etc? Was that them?

Encouraging piracy until they realized it actually was hurting them rather than fighting the man.

 

[TouchMyBox]

It ranged from 14% (Kenshi and McPixel) to 49% (Black Mesa). Aside from Slender: Source, every game in the top ten has been approved.

Thanks for the extremely informative post.

 

[Chinner]

voted for most of them! here's hopin oniken make it next round.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Only one I voted for was McPixel. Glad it made it through.

 

[feel]

Routine looks sweet!

I'm confused on how this will work for the things that were supposed to be free mods. Will they now be standalone downloads that will have to license the original engines or what, does Valve even allow free games to be published that don't have In App Purchases or some other form of making some profit?

edit-

lmao at McPixel!

 

[The Mana Legend]

Really disappointed that that retro Action-RPG based on Secret of Mana didn't get up there. I don't remember the name (other than it started with "Secret of"), but I really wanted it.

 

[ampere]

Black Mesa lives?

Damn

 

[phantomspiker]

Project Zomboid looks great, glad that made it in!

 

[VALIS]

Good list. Made all the better by no RPG Maker or Slendershit being on it.

 

[Kouriozan]

(other than it started with "Secret of"),

Grindea, secret of grindea.
I remember it because someone posted "It has "grind" in the title, voted down". Personally I upvoted it.

 

[scy]

I haven't kept up with anything Steam Greenlight related so I guess I have some games to look up to see what's going on.

 

[Hypertrooper]

I am excited for Routine. It looks like the game, Dead Space wanted to be.

 

[Robot Pants]

Routine.
All day.

 

[1-D_FTW]

Routine is gonna try and implement Rift support? Cool.

Judging by what the gaffer said (he was in school with the guys), I thought this was just going to be some student project that wasn't a commercial release. Glad to see they're thinking bigger now.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Great news, even though I'm only interested in about half. Will definitely check out Black Mesa, Routine, Zomboid, Towns and Kenshi.

No GAFfer game though

 

[batman2million]

[Aselith]

That's a good lineup.

 

[SolarPowered]

Definitely see myself buying at least five of those games. Routine and Dream are especially gonna get my money.

 

[Sibylus]

Three mods straight out of the gates (and two I'm interested in), very nice.

 

[dark_inferno]

I'm gonna buy all the none-free ones.

A bit dissapointed that the Greenlight Indie Bundle games didnt made it and Slender Source would be interesting.

 

[Razek]

So, is Black Mesa going to be on steam by release later this week do you think?

 

[jgminto]

Fuck yeah, Zomboid. been following that game for a while. And McPixel should be going up soon right? It's been finished for a while now.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Honestly, I think Valve told them to put it on Greenlight (maybe a month or so ago). They probably have been in communication since the BM team got to a good finishing point.

Chances are, even without Greenlight it would have been released on Steam this week, but this is all just a hunch, nothing is known.

 

[ezekial45]

Thanks for the links.

I'm still slightly confused about what happens next. Will these games get some financial backing of some sort for the completion of their product, or will they just be featured on the steam store.

 

[Kalnos]

Cry of Fear D: (Another horror game I have to slowly go through)
Towns

Hopefully Gnomoria follows Towns.

 

[HadesGigas]

They get released on Steam.

These games will be allowed to be published on the steam store.

 

[Diprosalic]

they can't sell BM right?

 

[Gravijah]

Glad Zomboid got through. And now I can finally play Half-Life 1 without immediately wanting to quit over its aging-ness too! Hooray!

what aging? i played it for the first time a year or two ago.

 

[HadesGigas]

It's a free mod. There are several of those on Steam already.

 

[WanderingWind]

The whole percentages thing is sort of wonky, but I'm looking forward to Zomboid regardless.

 

[Haunted]

Solid lineup.

Routine was probably the most interesting thing on Greenlight, glad it got in with the first batch. Also happy for the McPixel guy.

2 favourites gone, 4 to go.
