Topic: Steam Greenlight went live today

Not sure if the DEV's are interested or are following this but, Steams greenlight service went live today.  I personally think this would be a huge boon to the player base if the devs could get Perp onto steam or even better, onto the Steam greenlight service.  I have seen no advertising for this game at all, and the only reason i even found out about this game was because of the Rock Paper Shotgun articles that were published about STC's adventures.  I don't know any of the details about the DEV side of things, or how hard/cost it would be to get Perp onto steam.  But as far as i can tell this would do wonders for the player population.  In the last 48 hours there have been 4.6 million unique steam users logged in.  if .01% of those people tried this game that would increase the server population by 50,000.  Granted, not all would stay, and .01% of users might not actually try this game out.  But if we could get a few thousand new players into this game, many of the problems this game suffers from would disappear overnight.

EDIT: the game is already up at http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f … d=92921690 --garg

and yes, it would be nice to have perp on steam... but at the same time, i dont know how long that influx would last. Last time we got overrun by 1k+ EvE refugees it didnt last more then two month until most of them left for good again.

I'm using Project Zomboid (which is ridiculously popular) as a comparison, they're still at 0% of required popularity too even though they're twenty-fold ahead of us.

Re: Steam Greenlight went live today

Well I voted and hope this gets through.
I was looking through there yesterday and couldn't find it, but yay!

Re: Steam Greenlight went live today

Well, I logged on this morning to find a new member in corp who decided to try out after seeing it on GreenLight and I tried to recruit another new player this morning who is here for the same reason.

Seems to be working, now just need to get them involved in stuff.

Re: Steam Greenlight went live today

Thanks for the effort guys, we're also working on putting up NPC sell orders for all standard items and ammo, on all main terminals, for the usual relatively higher NPC prices.
