Development Info Age of Decadence on Steam Greenlight

Tags: Age of Decadence; Iron Tower

Since we were talking about Steam Greenlight just in the last newspost, I'd like to point out that there's a greenlight campaign for The Age of Decadence too.

There's no reason not to help our Irontower bros to bring the result of their feeble efforts to the steaming masses. I'm certain we can, in one combined epic effort, get the game from 5% to, I dunno, 6% or something.

In somewhat related news, if you're one of those who think that AoD wasn't so bad, except it could do with a slightly easier combat, you can vote for introducing a difficulty slider here on the ITS forums. Of course, Vault Dweller will ignore this poll, however, VD is an old fart, so, there's always the chance that he'll eventually give in if you only pester him enough.

I misread & thought you were announcing they were greenlit. I am disappoint.

 

[godsend1989]

i hope it gets green, tb is cool but not as cool as rtwp.

It's only at 5% of the needed votes. Does not bode well unless they get some better publicity.

That's actually a very large number for a relatively unknown game. It's possible AoD will eventually be allowed on the platform.

Yeah, I'm a bit confused about this. There's no running tally of interested Steam users, just a "percent of necessary" interested users. What the heck is that? What's the magic number they've arbitrarily decided on, and who decided it? Even if 5% is "large for a relatively unknown game" (which may be true), it's still a very small percent of what's "necessary". I'm not sure I like this format very much.

Anyway, AoD has seemed a bit controversial around here, so perhaps Iron Tower needs to cast a bit of a broader net for this Greenlight thing.

 

[Charles-cgr]

None of the currently greenlit games even came close, so percentage isn't really relevant by itself. Only compared to other games.

 

[Infinitron]

I've seen it written that it's the percentage of total votes given to ALL games on Greenlight, that went to that particular game. So 1 in 20 votes have gone to AOD if that's true. Not too shabby!

steam is bizarre

That just seems impossible. So many games got to 5% + some that went into the 30s. That's way more than 100.

That's good because your game is trending at 0%. I voted for it though.

Who got to 30's? Black Mesa did. But that got greenlit.

 

[Charles-cgr]

Infinitron Kenshi I believe. You mean that percentages are re-evaluated every time a game gets greenlit? That's possible I guess but I doubt that there are fewer than 20 games with more than 5%.
oldmanpaco Thanks for the vote

EDIT - Removed a bunch of stuff irrelevant to this thread.

 

[Jaesun]

Yeah I did my duty and voted for TAoD, Charle's game and Underrail. These numbers seem really wacky though.

Most of the shit greenlighted is fucking retarded. Oh well. The general public.

 

[oldmanpaco]

Didn't realize Underrail was on there. Voted for it as well.

Project Zomboid greenlit at 31%, after voting stalled two days.

Why wasn't AoD on Kickstarter?

They're terrified by the prospect of the unwashed masses grappling their baby.

Actually I thought that the first ten games that made it in were pretty good. I rated every game on Greenlight and I saw unbelievable shit in there. Out of 800 or so games I upvoted 91, as well as 7 out of the 10 games than were greenlighted.

That promotional trailer is godawful. If I didn't already know what it was, there's no way I would have sat through that. 1 min of splash art with irrelevant background universe lines, followed by trying to make leveling skills on the paper doll look dramatic and exciting. What the fuck. I know they're a small team, but promotional material is so incredibly important when trying to sell anything. FFS, name drop Fallout or something. Hype the consequences instead of showing dialogue boxes and choices that we can't even read. If this is all Vince is counting on to get people outside of the Codex interested about AoD, I'd say he'll sell about 500 copies.

 

[EG]

. . . For Vince, there is no "outside the Codex."

 

[J_C]

I think the video is good. It is just not designed for retards.

 

[Infinitron]

Don't forget to rate up the Kwality Kodex Kollection: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=93274798
