Will this eventually be on Steam?I don't know. I'm under the impression that steam is more for games with a wider audience backing them.

its a one-off fee though right? to become a steam developer? id pay it!But then you are kind of shafted if the game doesn't get past greenlight :sigh:
If you have some good way of spreading the word about the game then you can definitely go for it.Now that I think about it, If I had a good way to spread the word, then that would make it a bit pointless putting it up on steam. The idea of putting it on steam would be to spread the word, wouldn't it? Well, I guess the idea is to sell it if you're putting it on steam, but if you need to spread the word first, I should do that before putting it on steam.

It is a one time thing. I was referring to the games that just get perpetually stuck in greenlight voting. Also, there is a large difference in publicity from getting the game greenlit to getting it on the new release page.But then you are kind of shafted if the game doesn't get past greenlight :sigh:

oh i thought it was a one time thing, so next time you want to put a game on steam you dont have to pay it. only a hundred bux, not much if youre serious about selling games surely?
@Alex i think putting it on greenlight is part of the publicity though too. the game gets shown to people through the voting system, and after so many votes youre good. id think about putting it on greenlight and emailing a press release out to people about it. give people the ability to vote before you convince them to vote

also, vlambeer made this for indie devs who want to make a press kit but arent too sure about it
