Steam Greenlight

[nipps81]

Hi guys,

I usually just lurk the forums but usually don\'t post anything.

Since I really enjoy playing KSP I would like to see it become more popular.

So today i stumbled across this: http://steamcommunity.com/greenlight/

I was wondering if you guys think if its a good idea to convince the devs to promote their game through this, considering the size of the steam community?

The only concern is that KSP is still in a beta state so I\'m not sure if it makes at this early stage though there is a part in the greenlight description saying:

Can I post my game concept or early builds?

Absolutely! We encourage you to post information about your game as early in the development process as you are comfortable with. Greenlight will let you define whether you are posting your game as a concept/early build or as a playable game that is nearing completion.

We ask that you only define your game as \'playable game\' if you have a playable build that demonstrates the gameplay mechanics and at least one level of your game. Otherwise, please classify your submission as \'concept\' until its far enough along that the community can reasonably evaluate the mechanics, scope, and style of your game. Either way, you will probably get great feedback and a good start in building a community of fans around your game.

Let me know what you guys think.

I don\'t think so, and it may be along the lines of why the developers of minecraft decided not to do this.

I mean, it\'s not like it couldn\'t happen, but I don\'t know for sure.

it MIGHT because of the fact that minecraft coght on youtube vary fast

And I always saw steam as infallible before seeing this. :\'(

KSP works brilliantly with the steam overlay, if you can excuse the shift-tab causing the throttle to stick on full. I mean, I use it for all my screenshots now.

In short, I would love to see KSP on steam, but Tim has raised the undead elephant in the room here... what would happen to the community? KSP really is 75% community for me.

I love you all

That is unfortunate if community conversation is limited. The steam workshop feature is pretty neat, so if that could make easy modding and patching by just getting novapack for example, and all new additions would auto install, would be very nice. Share rockets etc.
