A ball game I have developed is on Steam Greenlight

Post by retrojc »

Yep, that post. Mods, delete if you have too.

link to Greenlight

We've talked about this before here, and now around a year later Forgotten Ball is out and finished. I chose to take the Steam Greenlight path to PC distribution and it is difficult, you have to ask people you know, and don't know to go and vote for a game they might have zero interest in; and here I am doing just that.

I've made a video game called 'Forgotten Ball' it's out on iOS and Android, and hasn't lit the world on fire, but it hasn't been poorly received either. Opinions are split, some hate, some like a lot. It's a bit abstract, primitive and at times difficult; it doesn't do conventional difficulty curves; it just spikes here and there (how I think Megaman 2 works, and exactly what I think Dark Souls does).

But that's not overly important; I'm just asking for those on Steam to help me get Forgotten Ball onto Steam and Greenlight is now my way in; so those of you with a Steam account please go here and click 'I would buy this', or click Not interested.

Happy to talk about the dev side of this project, so yeah ask a question :) Current shmup I'm playing is PS2 Dragon Blaze ;)

Voted, this does look quite interesting, haven't seen a good looking puzzle game involving a ball in a while (Kula World anyone?), so i'm wishing you good luck on getting this greenlit and going through the rest of the process :)

Voted yes. Although game engines of the sort usually look good, I haven't heard of a new ball-rolling franchise since Neverland and Switchball.
