Einen Monat nach dem Release von Valves neuer Plattform für Indie Spiele werfen wir einen kurzen Blick auf die bisher bewilligten Titel.

Seit dem 30. August können Spieleentwickler ihre Projektvorschläge gegen 100$ Gebühr auf Steam Greenlight einstellen. Sollte es ihnen gelingen mittels Trailern, Spielbeschreibungen und ersten Prototypen die Community von sich zu überzeugen, erhält das Spiel die offizielle Unterstützung Valves. Dies hat zur Folge, dass Valve sich mit den Entwicklern in Verbindung setzt und man fortan gemeinsam an der Fertigstellung des Spiels arbeitet. Zwar geht dies sicherlich mit einem gewissen Verlust an Entscheidungsfreiheit einher, ermöglicht so aber auch kleinen Projekten Zugang zu Steam zu erhalten und damit einen riesiegen Absatzmarkt für sich zu nutzen.



Das erste und bisher einzige releaste Spiel ist McPixel, welches vom Entwickler mit den folgenden Worten beschrieben wird.

"McPixel is a save-the-day guy that you guide through short challenges in an oldschool point'n'click fashion. The goal in each challenge is to prevent stuff from blowing up using available tools! You have only 20 seconds to save the day! Think quick!"

"Towns brings a fresh new take on the citybuilding/management genre by introducing many RPG features.
Drawing inspiration from games such as Diablo, Dungeon Keeper and Dwarf Fortress, the game has you managing a settlement on top of an active dungeon. Instead of playing the hero who delves deep into the dungeon, how about playing the town that houses and caters to the hero's needs?"

"Cry of Fear is a singleplayer modification of Half-Life 1 which brings you the horror you've always been afraid of. It's a total conversion of Half-Life 1, which means it uses NO Half-Life 1 content or other peoples' files. It's all made exclusively by the developers. It also uses new gaming styles that you will rarely find in Half-Life mods, such as advanced cutscenes and technical features."
