We put some games on Greenlight

sooo it's advertising yourselves and begging for votes, right?

I don't really see how this can violate a rule, it is a gaming community. I could see if he had us sign up to do something stupid, but it's just a voting system, kinda like advertising a steam group.

I appreciate the work you do, but you can surely put it in something better. I'm not trying to be mean, but what is your target audience? There are free engines who can let you create something much better which can actually sell. GL.

Hey, I totally have Faerie Alchemy on Chrome!

The gamming community is full of trolls.
Ignore them, Pkeod. It's not worth reading their words, it will just depress you.
I'll check out those games.

But yeah i think that you need to make something new and not already made.

I wouldn't take anything from there seriously; most pages on there are really just troll pages like "Big Nigs" and "Half Life 3" with its many iterations. I think everyone is kind of desensitized because of all that stuff, and I'll admit, I am too. I can't even trust that some games posted there are even posted by their author so I won't vote for anything unless I know for sure. The Greenlight feature is, without any kind of exaggaration, disfunctional, and you shouldn't take it too seriously. I'm not sure when Valve will take any action (if at all) to at least validate the entries somewhat, but until that happens Greenlight is dead.

Just hang on a bit, I'm pretty sure a nice sum of people will be more supportive than you expect. You gave them your games for free, it's the least to expect them to upvote something for you, though to be fair, only after they took a look at it and decided if they liked it or not.

That being said, you have my vote for both. Good luck, and thanks for being at arms length with the community! It's much appreciated.

I like how Faerie Alchemy looks

Hello Brian, we're waiting for Faerie Solitaire 2!

You should create a collection for your games. That would make it easier for fans to find any games you add to greenlight. They could just favorite the collection, and check it occasionally to see if you've added any new games. It probably won't bring in a huge number of votes, but it may help.

Dear Pkeod,

I would like to ask you if the language tags are suggested by Steam or if it is something that you choose. I see "brazilian" as a language there. Sadly, it does not exist, as Portuguese is spoken in Brazil.

Best regards,

Lucky Boy

Greenlight includes both the ones who like and pay for your game and the others, your sale figures just include the former. It is like meeting the evil brother of your fans.

downvoted both yesterday...

You have done alot for SG. You have my vote :) and Faerie Alchemy looks interesting. I would like to try it.

I upvote everything Subsoap as a matter of principle.

Hello, Pkeod.
I am sorry your games don't get enough upvotes. I checked them out and see no real reason for them to receive so many downvotes. Maybe you should give it more time or add more videos and screens. First thing people do is watch videos, then see screenshots, then read description if they're still undecided. If there's some story involved in those games of yours, like in Faerie Solitaire, it's better to show some snippets of it as well.
Thank you again for your Faerie Solitaire giveaways, I upvoted both games as a sign of gratitude.

That's... Odd. I've been finding I'm too generous with votes. If a game looks at all decent, I like it.

Just an advise/impression for Hallowmorn Dungeon Crawler:

The images don't help to understand how is the gameplay or what you actually do in the game. I strongly suggest to upload more images meanwhile you don't upload the gameplay video.

And most of people are "surfing" between the games there (and there is a lot), so the text wall don't help, maybe it's better to start it with the description of the gameplay. The disclaimer at the start sounds bad, but I think it's because the attitude of the visitors, maybe it would have been better to wait a bit to enter with a better presentation. Perhaps start only with Faery alchemy.

BTW greenlight should display the number of positive and negative votes. And explain your disclaimer before you can vote. And why there is a negative vote? If you don't like a game you don't buy it, but what's the purpose on impeding to other games to reach steam? I see very dark exploits there.

Both your games look great, and I loved Faerie Solitaire! Don't take the community too harsh, they're just jelly because they can't code or make games.

AND

Faerie Alchemy looks good, up voting. I loved faerie solitaire, so I wish you the best.

Sorry, I really have no interest in those games :S Good luck to you though!

Hallowmorn is a bit too early in development for me to say one way or another, but I upvoted Faerie Alchemy!

Good to see you around Brian. I'm looking forward to trying Hallowmorn Dungeon Crawler.

Unfortunately I think that Greenlight still has a way to go. I hope that Valve can develop it into a useful site, but so far I feel like there's no chance I'll find the games I want through it. Good thing you posted about your games here.

upvote both games
