Project Zomboid has been in development for a good while, and looks interesting.

No Time To Explain also looks interesting from what I've seen of it.

It is fairly disappointing when the best stuff I've seen done with RPGMaker is Yume Nikki and a porn game, and nothing else even really approaches the quality of effort the porn game put into making a free game that is updated frequently.

SCF's Exit Fate and Last Scenario are both decent RPGMaker games. There are a few decent ones out there, they're just fairly rare.

I'm curious how long a game will be on Greenlight before Valve decides to judge it? Project Zomboid, for instance, has 12%, so I'm assuming that's 120,000 up-votes, and 15,000 favorites. If we say a favorite means "I absolutely will buy this game if it shows up on Steam" and an up-vote as "I most likely will buy this game (but might wait for a sale)" then...that's a lot of sales already. I wonder if it's a set time-frame or percentage that Valve checks up on games.

I also wonder what happens when a developer has several games to put on Steam. As another example, Wolfire Games has Receiver on Greenlight currently, and is in the process of developing their (his?) big game, Overgrowth. If Receiver makes it onto Steam, does Overgrowth have to go through the entire Greenlight process again, or can they just say "here's my game, I'm already on Steam," and it happens?

I doubt anyone actually knows, of course, but it's interesting to think about.

Wolfire going through Greenlight seems weird to me, because their earlier game, Lugaru, is already on Steam.

From the sounds of things, once you get a game onto Steam you have a much more direct line to Valve, so presumably established devs/pubs will just use that.

Then again, if that is the case, why do Wolfire have a game on Greenlight?
