I remember your old thread, congrats! I'm trying to make my own game as well, but until now just a bunch of notes and a few sprites.

I was operating on an old data. My game was listed for 7.5 days when approved. And I got about 0 visits from SG in the last 5 days. So I guess someone with a less-niche game (seeing mine as such because of graphics) could gather 1000 without problems in 3 days.
Anyway, what I found searching the internet after the initial post is that only top 20 games get 1500-2500 votes, everyone else gets greenlit under 1000. As I said, some games got through on the same day as mine with less than 400 votes.
Also, know that you'll probably get contacted by "group leaders" saying you can get promoted in their 10.000+ people groups for a small amount of money... Don't do it. There's no need because you can easily get greenlit nowadays, and you'll ruin your dev reputation forever.
I even wrote in my old thread that I'll never put the game in the bundle, in order to protect early supporters... and people's CV.

Small update (I've been avoiding these lately, ever since I closed the dev thread and opened this one instead): Steam store page and community are live. You can't buy the game at this moment, it's not released yet... But you can add it to wishlist or just enjoy the view ;)

What I said before stands, it will not be in any bundles and I'll try to be careful with discounts so it doesn't "lose sg value" for any of you guys that might want to give it away, so you can keep your CV forever. I also won't "boost my level" with it, but there will be some smaller giveaways once it's released. I know I'm basically refusing potential earnings by doing this, but you were the part of the journey, it's only fair you be the part of the party too.

Price is as promised in Greenlight campaign, $1.99.
I've followed Valve's recommendation on regional pricing, so some regions will get it cheaper. That's why I said I have to be careful with discounts if I want to protect your CV in the future...

Are all discounts global or can you set custom discounts for each region?

Well, luckily for me, making games doesn't put food on my table, so I don't really care how many copies I sell (apart from that being an indicator that would help me know if people like it or not) so I don't have to discount it a lot just to attract people who'll never even play it. Those who want to try it will either buy it or win it here from some noble soul.

Thank you for the support!

A 50-copies giveaway will give it enough visibility by making it featured, while not devaluating the game itself or creating excess CV.

About me:
Hey! I've been a member here for 5+ years and have become somewhat known for making puzzles with home-made minigames that you'd have to play in order to find a way inside a giveaway. Over the years, many people here suggested I make a real game so I did. Maybe you've even seen my development thread (now closed).
Goblin and Coins is on Steam as of November 9th: Check it out now!
About the game:
Run and jump, collect coins, confront enemies and avoid traps, open gates and find secret stashes. It's a simple 2D platformer with a twist: You're not a hero from the castle about to slay an evil dragon, you're a goblin cook working for the dragon! It starts slowly but things get more and more complicated as you go.
Story:
Your master has been robbed by a pesky rogue, and it's kind of your fault. Follow them through 5 different settings, from the dragon's lair in the Fiery temple of Doom, all the way to the Castle Keep, and return the stolen treasure! But beware, the closer you get to civilization, the more dangerous it becomes for a defenseless goblin.
Features:
Steamgifts value:
As promised a year ago, this game will not be featured in any bundle, nor will there be mass-giveaways outside of Steamgifts. I'll do everything in my power to keep it's CV where it is for you guys (yeah it's just 2p, but promise is a promise), so if you make giveaways or simply purchase for yourself, you won't have to feel betrayed later because of the price/cv drops... which happens a lot and really fast lately with indie games.
