Eschalon: Book III on Steam Greenlight

[Fionnaleigh]

Voted. Can't wait!

Is there a way to tell how Eschalon Book 3 is doing in the process? How many votes do you (we! ) need to get greenlit? Is there a running total somewhere?

First post so hello everyone!! I've been lurking as I played Books 1 and 2. You've all been really helpful, thank you!

We've done well in the first week on Greenlight, but now we are buried under a lot of other Indie Greenlight submissions and visits to our page have fallen sharply.

We need to keep getting votes. If you have friends that use Steam, persuade them to vote for us. If everyone who ever bought Book 1 & Book 2 votes for us right now, we'd be in.

Why do you need to be accepted through Greenlight if both Book I and II are on Steam?

[CrazyBernie]

Microsoft did the same thing with the Xbox 360 Marketplace... it's to cut down on junk submissions.

[Lord_P]

I did read the article.

So there is a chance that if enough people don't vote for Book III it will not come to Steam and Basilisk Games will have wasted their money, even though the other two games in the trilogy are already on their distribution platform?

Madness.

Truly.

That would be just outright silly, but not impossible. :facepalm:

[BasiliskWrangler]

When will you know if you've been successful?

When they tell me. Some games have been in Greenlight for nearly a year and are still not accepted. It's all about the number of "Yes" votes we get.

I voted and I'm likely to buy it on Steam as well - that said, I think it's really lame that they're making you go through Greenlight when the first 2 games are already on Steam and presumably selling more or less well.

Thanks everyone! Book III has been Greenlit on Steam! A round of drinks on the house!

[Chopkinsca]

Awesome! I had just checked the greenlight page and saw it got in. Just wanted to say congratulations!

Kudoz mate! I wish you the best for the new Book!
BTW I hope to be ready for Linux as well, unlike the previous two.

Hooray! Three hurrahs for Basilisk Games and Eschalon: Book III!

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

Congratulations! I'm sure Eschalon Book III is the only game on Greenlight where I pressed "Yes" before the page had finished loading
I remember when I bought Book I (first Linux game I ever bought) to be positively surprised by seeing someone treating Linux as 1st class OS in the gaming world. Instead of going through Greenlight, Valve should be honoured to have your games as they are following your steps many years later with SteamOS!

Nice to see that 2 of the 9 project i upvoted are greenlit, 1 is actually released and another made it into the top 50 so has a good shot at being greenlit.

Congrats BW!!!
