@burnpsy As one of the original Kickstarter backers I have to inform you that the game is a barely playable buggy mess. Both myself and a bunch of other KS backers have already downvoted it and given negative comments. Unless they promise to fix the game, I can't in good conscience allow more people to pay for it.

@stevebat Hey, don't knock on German simulators: some are quite hilarious:

Way too many games that are not made by the posters...(Mass Effect 3, Minecraft, etc)...those guys should have their ass banninated for this...

Would definitely like to see Zomboid on Steam though!

@Psyclone: They already said that they've fixed the bugs. In the description itself, in fact. It's been in the description since they put the thing up.

I have to wonder if any of you guys read it:

The game we are submitting contains major improvements over everything we've done — especially in regards to bug fixes. Unfortunately our initial release had several unforseen bugs which we have no ironed out.

Somebody mentioned Fusion games... what the heck are those supposed to be?

Oh, and some German guy decided to add in Warcraft 3 as a votable choice... seriously?!

EDIT: Whoa, just found a REALLY nice one amongst the Pile: Heroes and Generals. Yeah it's another WWII game trying to copy Battlefield and Red Orchestra, but the scope of this one is what's catching my eye - that, and you can actually play this sucker on a friggin PC or mobile pad!

^ Ooh, Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land! That's a good SRPG! Why the heck isn't Steam accepting it in the first place? I'm voting it up!

Also, wait...Playism of all people is doing Greenlight? Strange...

@burnpsy But when they say "original version" do they mean "Season 1"? Because their "Season 2" had a LOT of bugs as well and I found no way to update it.

EDIT: Oh, "everything" we've done. Huh. I stand corrected. Still, I'll believe it when I see it.

^ They're a few more...Galaxy on Fire 2, Superbrothers Sword And Sworcery EP, EDGE, Spirits (technically not on Steam store yet, but I got it from the Humble Bundle and it is added on Steam no problem), Zen Bound 2...I think there's a few more...

Playism is an indie game distributor that they sell the games? Then it is really weird.

Some interesting games:

  • Contrast, a Puzzle-Platformer, Puzzle-Adventure, Indie, Casual, Mystery where you can shft into shadows.
  • And Then Nobody Left... "This game is about a man, who follows the mysterious voice from the radio. In this game you can't win or lose. You only can view the lifestory from the beginning to the end."
  • Scheherazade a RPG, Casual, Simulation with "over 50 story arcs".
  • Gangs of Space a free 2 play space MMO shooter with permadeath that the developers do not want it to be pay 2 win. Has a browser playable alpha here.

There's a company called LAYERNET amongst the pile that apparently does nothing but make some really poor simulation games, as well as some cheap knock-offs of other genres. Doubtful that they'll get much votes, but still...

Anyways, somebody earlier mentioned about a link for Heroes and Generals. Here it is. (CHRIST, it took forever to find that one in the pile!) Also, another interesting game I found: Recruits.

Also saw a page on "Night Watch", a simulation where you control security in South Africa, starting with a car guard (Johannesburg area I'm guessing?) and working yourself up in areas throughout the country. It is an interesting premise for sure, and I'd like to see how it progresses, but through the description and the shots I've seen, it is alas incomplete. Now if only this were here months later...

With all the simulators in there, I am surprised ther is no Euro Truck Simulator or Street Cleaning Simulator:

Some games I would like to see Greenlighted:

  • TowerClimb a procedurally generated plataformer with rouguelike elements like permadeath, the closest thing to this game is Spelunky but Towerclimb is more focused in problem solving, evading enemies and some resources management.
  • Wings of Vi a plataormer inspired by such games as I Wanna Be The Guy and Cave Story.

I really hope these games end up on Steam, they're old school style WRP Gs and we could use a lot more of those:

Age of Decadence a Fallout 1/Arcanum-like WRPG with elements of Planescape Torment set in a post apocalyptic Ancient Rome-esque setting.

Frayed Knights A light hearted dungeon cralwer.

I had seen a page for "Butt Pirates" earlier with a desperate "pls we is real gaem with no details or pictures don't ban us again" plea this morning.

Immortal Defense is said to have a really interesting plot and setting. I'd like to see this on Steam so that I could buy it.

It is the real deal there, check the Unepic game page. Now check the second news of the English language version to learn that for the Steam release it is planed to add multiplayer.

Huh, interesting...

This also looks interesting. That Underrail game reminds me oddly of Fallout for some reason.

How come on(how did I spell this... Whatever this thing is called again?(Expression?) Come on? Come one?) I haven't heard of Underrail and NEO Scavenger before? =/

That Underrail game reminds me oddly of Fallout for some reason.

It's an isometric RPG and it lists Fallout as an influence.

Seriously though, I had read that, but I talked about how some screenshots remind me of room layouts in Fallouts in vaults and such.
