So I guess why this point was driven home again was just yesterday they announced Greenlight. A community service that helps give more exposure to independent games!
So here is how it works, a developer submits their build to Greenlight and all steam users vote on them. When games reach a certain threshold of positive votes they launch on Steam! So what does this mean? Well, Steam is undeniably the largest market for digital games anywhere that I know of. So these smaller independent games, like us, who don’t have a marketing team, like us, can actually get exposure. And the timing couldn't have been better!
We announced earlier that Loc already came out on Indievania, a great digital distribution service, but one that does not get a lot of traffic. Thus far our sales have not been all that stellar. So Greenlight has the potential to be a huge help for us.
Keep your eyes peeled, because on August 30th when Greenlight goes live we will be submitting Loc to Steam and then it’s up to you all to help us get accepted.
