Steam Greenlight

//use this thread for discussing some gems you find in Greenlight
Steam Greenlight has gone up today, for those who aren't farmiliar with it, it's sort of like moddb, where you showcase games and such, for example KAG!

Here's a copy paste from the faq:
http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/about/?appid=765&section=faq

Here's a snippet.

I figure this might be a good step onto Steam, if that's a platform you devs want to eventually get on to.

Spoiler: Infomation for developers

How many votes does a game need to get selected?

It's going to change during the first few days/weeks since we don't know what kind of traffic to expect. Part of the drive for this system is the need for customers to help us prioritize which games they want to see made available on Steam. So the specific number of votes doesn't matter as much as relative interest in a game compared with other games in Steam Greenlight.
We're going to be reaching out to developers as we see their games getting traction regardless of whether they have achieved a specific number of votes or are sitting 1st or 2nd place at any given time. We are most interested in finding the games that people want, not requiring them to always hit a specific number of votes.
What if someone else has posted my game?

If your game has been posted by someone else and you wish for it to be taken down, please visithttp://www.valvesoftware.com/legal.html and follow the instructions under 'Claims of Copyright Infringement'.
Can I post my game concept or early builds?

Absolutely! We encourage you to post information about your game as early in the development process as you are comfortable with. Greenlight will let you define whether you are posting your game as a concept/early build or as a playable game that is nearing completion.
We ask that you only define your game as 'playable game' if you have a playable build that demonstrates the gameplay mechanics and at least one level of your game. Otherwise, please classify your submission as 'concept' until its far enough along that the community can reasonably evaluate the mechanics, scope, and style of your game. Either way, you will probably get great feedback and a good start in building a community of fans around your game.
What systems must my game run on?

To remain in Steam Greenlight and qualify for distribution via Steam, your game must at least run on a Windows PC. You can be also developing for any other platform you like, but we are only able to support PC & Mac releases at this time.
Can I update my entry after I've submitted my game?

Please do! We encourage you to update your presence in Steam as often as you like to keep your fans and potential customers involved in your development process.
What happens when I submit my game?

As soon as you submit your game, it will start showing up for the community to review. Come back often to respond to community feedback, answer questions, or update your page with new developments or media.
What do I need in order to submit my game?

You'll need a valid and non-limited Steam account (yes, that means you'll need to own a game on Steam). Then, you'll need to fill out the submission form, including some information about you and your game. The submission will require:

• A square branding image (similar to a box cover) to represent your game in lists and search
• At least 1 video showing off your game or presenting your concept
• At least 4 screenshots or images
• A written description of the game along with tentative system requirements

What happens if my game never gets accepted?

Your game will remain on Greenlight unless you decide to take it down.
What if I don't want to announce my game early but I still want to be on Steam?

Once a game is accepted through Steam Greenlight, it doesn't take long to get it launched on Steam, so feel free to hold off on posting to Greenlight until you're ready to announce.
Are there any restrictions on what can be posted?

Your game must not contain offensive material or violate copyright or intellectual property rights.
When can I start using this?

Steam Greenlight is slated to launch at the end of August.

 

Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Well Greenlight is up officially now ;D

That's what I get for not floating around the forums as much as I used to :P
