My game is now up on Steam Greenlight. Come give it a vote!
 

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to announce my first game ever: Shapes of Gray, an action-arcade game inspired by broken arcade cabinets from the 70's and what it means for a video game to be a video game.

I've been secretly working on it for the past couple months in my spare time; there's still a tooooon of work left to do on it, but I really wanted to announce it before the end of the year. I've submitted the game to Steam Greenlight; what this means is that, if I get enough votes from the community, I'll be able to sell my game on Steam!

Of course, getting a game greenlit is a very hard and long process. The one developer I talked to who had worked on a project of similar scale said it took him eight months to finally get his game approved. So, if you like what you see so far, I'd be hugely grateful if you threw a vote my way. You'll need a Steam account to vote, but making one only takes about three minutes.

And did I mention that the music is being done by our very own Zero?

I should thank you all too though; Negative World has been a huge part of my gaming life for the past few years, and you've all given me a ton of inspiration on my path to becoming a game developer. I owe a lot to this chill community for being such an awesome place to talk about games in. Who knows where I'd be if all I had was The IGN Vestibule?

Oh, and go give an upvote to Tadpole Treble as well (even though technically it's competition). Matthew's been so busy with his Kickstarter that he forgot to pimp his Greenlight page as well! What a GOOF!

Nope, it didn't work. I still get the same message.

I'm not really looking to buy any Steam games, even the really cheap ones. Maybe I could though, hhmmm....

Logged into Steam just to Yes your game. Those Steamheads aren't gonna know what hit them, dude.

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Here's a question: what do you guys think of the in-game font? I personally think it suits the game, but at the same time, it's pretty "normal." Though that's kind of what I'm going for. I dunno, think it could be spiced up a bit?

I hear Comic Sans is a popular font.

Or what was that amazing font they used this morning on the Hyrule Warriors reveal? Time New Roman, I think. You ever heard tell of Times New Roman?

Voted, because I once bought a game on steam a million years ago, though I never actually play games on my computer. So, I'm not a viable customer myself, but I sure as heck hope others will be!

Any Reddit users wanna throw me an upvote? Not sure how popular this subreddit is, but I figure it's worth posting either way.
