Steam Greenlight: 1000 games and counting, more Greenlit every few weeks

Democracy in action! </sarcasm>
Annoying internet fads in action. I'm surprised there haven't been any MLP games on there -- I guess no one is stupid enough to flirt with that lawsuit bait.
Maybe. But I had very little hype, meh graphics, a totally unproven genre and a totally unproven dev team...I mean, it *might* have worked out, but I don't know.
Submitting to accepting was technically way longer. It never would have happened but for the intervention of a mysterious soul, but upon his intervention, it was nearly instantaneous.
I wonder if the 100% mark is reserved for games Valve actually doesn't want to have on Steam. An extremely hard to achieve goal as some kind of escape route for games that turn out to be popular, even though Valve isn't satisfied with what it offers. (I could see Postal 2 becoming such a case, lol)
In any case, the first batch of Greenlights is pretty decent and it shows that ~15% is already enough to have a reasonable chance to get on Steam. Though, I expect that games won't have it as easy in the future if Greenlight should become more popular among users.
However, I still think there's much room for improvement. Most of the games that crossed the magical 10% barrier are more-or-less good-looking 3D games (in some cases the games actually fool the users since they are just comparably easy mods; eg Slender) in popular genres. Indie games with quirky graphics in genres not as popular don't see comparable popularity and to the most part have problems to even cross the 5% barrier.
Maybe different categories with different Steam-entry barriers or whatever would help things. At it is, Greenlight seems still a little unbalanced.
(And I agree that Sequence would have a very hard time on it. Graphically unimpressive, quirky genre, an unknown developer... There are good-looking 2D games by great and established developers that are struggling to gain %s, Sequence would have probably been around 1-3% at this point...)

Nice, so that means Project Giana is the 3rd highest upvoted game left on Greenlight.

So glad that Routine got picked. I have high hopes for that game.

Except for Afterfall: Insanity all of the games I picked got in. Looking forward to Cry of Fear and Project Zomboid the most
The Stanley Parable: HD Remix was added to Greenlight. It certainly has an unconventional typographic presentation but I enjoyed the original so looking forward to seeing this do well on Greenlight.
The FAQ has some gems too:

Seems a bit too directed at people who already know what the Stanley Parable is.

Should be noted that Stanley Parable is an IndieCade nominee next to games like Qasir, POP and Wooden Sen'SeY wich are ALSO on greenlight

I came here to post that Cakebread had stuck this on Steam, but happily, someone beat me.
This is one of my personal favorite mods, and it's one I would highly recommend anyone who hasn't tried it yet play.

Feh, the first ten games are all games I couldn't care less about, that figures.
Next time, Gadget. Next time.

Yes! Best screenshots on Greenlight already.
Favourited.
Why? It says quite clearly what the original Stanley Parable is in the first paragraph on the Greenlight page.
If you want to find out more, you can research it. If you don't, that's fine too. The Stanley Parable is too unconventional and interesting to use a traditional sales pitch.

Glad to see Neotokyo is around 8 percent. I hope it gets into the next batch; I played the game when it first came out and it's amazing. Shame it never caught on at launch, but here's hoping the second time is the charm.
NOW we are talking !
How weird, I guess I thought it was already one of the free mods on Steam back when they started supporting mods. But yeah, it's an interesting game if you can get friends to fill a server with you.

Combine the regular and the Greenlight genres for all games and we're finally getting somewhere.

My game's been floating around 1% for the last couple of days, though it's been sitting more at 1% than zero.

Look at this shameless Wipeout ripoff.

I totally upvoted it
Sorry for shameless advertising, guys. I'd really like to make a separate topic for the game but this option is not available to me.
Anyway, we made a short gameplay overview video for our strategy game Eador. You can watch it on our Greenlight page.
