Steam Greenlight: "Parallels" - The Experiment :)

@Kevin W You have something you want to share with us today?

 

haha @Jamie

Yeah, we're super pumped to announce that we just received the Greenlight email! While we were waiting for Valve to release the next batch of greenlit games and before pulling the trigger on the marketing firm, an email went out for a final push.
Here's the screenshot from 2 days ago:



As you can see we didn't quite make the Top 100 but got pretty close. According to one of Greenlight tracking sites ( http://iygamestudio.com/greendb/ ) we hovered around #115.

So there it is, we made it which is pretty amazing considering we only built a few levels of the game to make a promo video and create some screenshots. As experiments go, we're pretty pleased.

I hope this post can show that anything is possible with some hustle
Thanks to everyone who supported and voted for us.

 

YaYEAH!!!
Congrats, you put a lot of hard work and it was neat to see the "experiment" work.
That make 3 Buildbox-made games to be greenlit so far (to my knowledge), which is awesome.
The Steam market openness to 3 Buildbox-made games is looking bright so far...

 

Inspiring! I'll def be sending off a game to Steam now once I got one to send

Just thought I'd finish of the post, go full circle and am thrilled to announce that today we launched Parallels onto Steam Early Access

Been a hectic few weeks but wanted to thank everyone again for all the support on this experiment, it's been a rollercoaster!
Now we have actually built the game, it was time for a new trailer - so here it is along with a link to our steam page

Well done @Kevin W, it's been great to watch your progress, hope Steam works out really well for you
New trailer looks great too.

 

thanks @Phill Mason - so chuffed it's been of some value Time will tell but been a great exercise whatever the outcome

 

Looks Great....looking forward to the game

 

Looks like you are doing great things with Parallels - thanks for sharing the experiment experience with us.

 

Hey everyone, tonight I bought @Kevin W 's PARALLELS on Steam. Neat game - really happy to see it not just greenlit but also built out and playable!

Thanks @Jamie for your kind words, really appreciated - glad you like! It'll also be available on iOS next week 7th Jan.

 

I am enjoying it on Steam, but I think I will like this one more on mobile, so I will get it too

 

Yeah, it's definitely way more suited for mobile, but we'll certainly be releasing Steam specific title/s next year
thanks again man!
