Evo. RTS on Greenlight

Meh. Weren't devs planning to go there once kudos are done or something?

You mean like a piss stream?

EDIT: I WAS MAKING A FUNNY ON SKASI'S TYPO BUT THEN HE FIXED IT. EDIT POST OP! CAPSLOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

maybe you are mistaken steam with gog.com?

I feel that plan could backfire, if EvoRTS gets bigger then ZK it will be the biggest Spring game and will thus attract more players since having much players means getting more players. I might sound a bit like a jealous asshole but I feel EvoRTS should be in the shasow of 0k and not the other way arround.

Any game can get listed for entry fee.
Though there are already 1000+ games listed which is almost as much as on google, so you will probally just get the same old people upvoting your game, instead of attracting new playes.

Seems it is possible to create "collections", for example here is a shooter collection:

Such "spring collection" sounds like a better idea than telling people to vote for spring game X in hope they also try out spring game Y.

Spring games should help each other being envy of each other and hating each other will lead nowhere.

Other engine games will just laugh at us ;) Thats like hating, killing your own brother and sister and parents just like in Roman times.

I don't mean that Zero-K should not go for Steam Greenlight, but if the steam community is first shown Evo RTS all like "LOOK THIS IS WHAT A SPRING GAME LOOKS LIKE" I think a lot of players would be like "meh", and then when Zero-K comes arround and is like "WE ARE A SPRING GAME TOO!" people will already have a biased "meh". I don't think most of people have any idea what a "Open Source Engine" or any of that means so they will probably think these games are all mods of some kind of game.

If anyone upvotes Evo RTS he should do so because he would like to see Evo RTS on steam, not because he would like to benefit from the extra players that it might possibly bring to Zero-K, for that Zero-K should just get it's own greenlight thingie.

I'd be willing to look into it but I don't want to pay 100$ though. Anyone want to split maybe? I'll pay 50$, you pay 50$.

I don't really have time though at the moment. I'd be willing to donate 50$ to the bring-Zero-K-to-Steam fund though if someone else has time to do do it earlier. We should do a lot of proofreading and discussing on whatever we post thought because this is kind of a big thing.

quote: Ftfy. The moment CA (another ota clone) became ZK (a ta-like, but somewhat original game with some daring ideas like flat techtree and no factions), it started its victorious conquest of Spring.

Sadly, game changes have nothing to do with eventual popularity of Zero-K. CA had all these features for years, it even had more units. Zero-K was only CA with half units removed and few added to get rid of old OTA models.

Even though game was playing great you had to wait for many many hours to get 6 people for some game.

We then invested heavily into making the game more accessible, creating own lobby was a major project and it was designed to work as smoothly as possible for windows users - no more tinkering with files, manual downloads, config editing, crashes etc. Website, replays, forums, ladders, missions and planetwars, it all helped to gradually build community into a state we have now.
However it took a massive efforts, years of work on non-game things.
