Valve has already greenlit ten games with the most notable of the ten being Black Mesa, a Half-Life remake created by the Black Mesa Team. It seems everything is a success so far with Steam Greenlight as Valve is also preparing to Greenlight 10 more games chosen by the community on October 15th. The names of the games haven’t been revealed as of yet, but we should expect to see what they are on October 15th. So far, Steam Greenlight seems to be a really great system to promote and support indie games. There are a few problems with it, which you can read about here, but overall everything seems to be going really well with it all.

My speculation is that we’re going to be seeing a game called Folk Tale by Games Foundry mainly because it seems to be a higher rated game and also a lot of fun, as it is a medieval city builder where you get to command your very own stereotyped peasants. Everyone likes doing that, right? What I would love to see on this next wave of greenlit games is Heaven Variant, which is a side-scrolling shoot ‘em up based off of old classics like Thunder Force. It’s not likely this game will make it in this wave of games as it seems to be pretty far down the list, but I can only hope.

With the announcement of these next ten games so close to Valve’s last Greenlight announcement, we might be picking up speed here and seeing a whole lot more games appear on Steam more frequently as the community surrounding Steam Greenlight continues to grow and vote on a bunch of different games.

Time will only tell what truly gets the go ahead, but what games do you expect to see in this next batch of games?

    I hope to see ‘Recruits’ on that list. Commotion Games is really impressing me with what they release for it.

    Folk Tale does look cool. I think Project Giana and Secrets of Grindea are strong candidates. Recruits also looks interesting also but I’d like to see more gameplay of it before I can form a real opinion. Forge, Miasmata, and Contrast also look like solid choices.

    As far as games I’d like to see make it in sooner or later, but are further down in voting percentage right now: Escape Goat, which I played the full version of and which was an enjoyable (retro) platforming puzzler. Eador: Masters of the Broken World looks like it has the potential to be a very good turn-based fantasy strategy game, and perhaps there is an opening there with Ubisoft failing miserably with Might and Magic: Heroes VI. Quite possibly the game I am most eager about is Sang-Froid: Tales of Werewolves though. Just watching the gameplay video, it looks like an amazing game! Think Orcs Must Die but with a werewolf & Canadian folklore theme, and seemingly with more emphasis on strategy, and even some RPG elements in the mix (such as a skill tree and weapons & items to purchase.

    Both Escape Goat and Eador: Masters of the Broken World sound fantastic! Definitely looking forward to those now that you mention them!
