A bit too pessimistic, but I see your point and it makes complete sense, sadly...

So Agarest:Generations of War is now on Steam (didn't check it, but very likely without Greenlight) and this is a very 'naughty' game (well, about same level as Winter Wolves games) yet not really developed/published by big shot Japanese companies... the mind boggles again.

Well now Loren is 70th place, so Valve just needs to Greenlight another 70 games at once and hop!
I think EVENTUALLY I might get in, otherwise I really will start talking about a global conspiracy!
That Agarest game, naughtiness apart, seems interesting from the gameplay point of view, I always wanted to do a sort of hybrid wargame/RPG. Maybe one day...!

Agarest already has a sales record on the PS3.
I own it for that console, but I still bought it, in the hopes that it's better optimized on the PC. Finding time to play it though... yeah, maybe next year.
Oh, and it's a plain strategy RPG, no wargame involved in it. Not a particularly good one either, but they can't all be Tactics Ogre.

This game has been Greenlit by the Community. Congratulations! They actually DID Greenlight 100 games at once.

Yes, is getting easier now to get in. Luckily for me
I was mid-way in the top100 though.

Any chance for Planet Stronghold to be in Steam to?

Right now is 65% to the top100, so not bad but not enough to get in. Depends what they'll be doing, if they approve 100 games each month, for sure will be in before Christmas, otherwise might take longer!

Agreed about Planet Stronghold. I know my biggest gripe with the Greenlight process is that there are a lot of games that have actually been made (such as Winterwolves, or Hanako Games), but they don't get even a second look while something may pass Greenlight...and it may not even have an Alpha build, and may even be in Kickstarter mode.
However, I will definitely have to give Valve credit for speeding up the Greenlight process the last couple months.

Yes, is much better now. I still see no point too in allowing in games that are just early-alpha at best, they should accept more games that are already finished. But as it was before, Loren would have never been approved so for me is better

What would be nice is if they split up Greenlight from games that are done (or nearly done), and then have a separate section, essentially advertising, for things in Alpha mode.

This is good news, how are the other games doing at the moment?

The highest ranked is PS (no surprise, RPG have much more chances to get on Steam than VN/dating sims). The others apart Spirited Heart, are quite below, but as I said it mainly depends how many they approve. If they keep 100/month, before next Summer I could have 3-4 more

Eww, not into zombies...
But I'm sure the zombie crazed will be on it like a hawk.
I hope Nicole and the rest makes it one day!

Good luck with Nicole.
And yes, there are too many - TOO MANY - fans of Zombies out there; the Zombie Nicole would surely find itself greenlighted. LOL!
Oh, and I will vote, though steam does not like me and requires some confirmation etc. before letting me vote.

Well, I will vote for Nicole as well. I admit, it is my favorite of your current crop of dating games, even without the Yuri.
(And yes, I'm aware it is still going to be a few months for the Yuri to be out)

Heh, I personally can't get into most of the zombie games...though I admit a fondness for Organ Trail (mostly as a parody of Oregon trail)
And with the rate of Greenlight passes, it may not be as impossible as one thinks to get on Steam. Another 40 games made it through...(and yes, I realize this means more competition)

Is true that is easier to get in, but a game still needs 8,000-9,000 yes votes just to get in the top100 and is not so easy. Speaking with other indies, uf you have already other games on Steam is a bonus too. My two other games likely to get in, PS1 and Spirited Heart, are still stuck at 67-71% so a long way to go.

Oh definitely. And dating simulations definitely draw a smaller crowd than other games, etc.

Simulation games might actually make it on Steam Greenlight, Long Live the Queen seems to be doing well atm.
