Hey everyone, you may have already seen, but we have recently launched our campaign to get pre-approved on Steam via their Greenlight process! If you haven’t yet seen our page, be sure to do so to check out our new preview trailer.
For anyone that doesn’t know, Greenlight is Valve’s way of determining which games should be accepted for release on the Steam store. Once Greenlit, developers are free to release their game on Steam as soon as they are ready.
We stated a while ago Beyond Dark would be available on Steam, and so wanted to get it pre-approved on there, to avoid any possible delays when the time for release comes. Some games never get Greenlit, while for others it can take a number of months, so fingers crossed it doesn’t take too long!
Please note that we do plan to make the full release of Beyond Dark available outside of Steam – including directly from us. The Beta software though, when released, will be available exclusively from us (we’ll let everyone know when this will be when we can).
Current progress
As of today (September 12) we haven’t yet been Greenlit, but you can see from the above image that we’re not doing too badly.
We’ve broken in to the Top 100 games on Greenlight, sitting at # 78 – of the 1,872 games currently also there!
It’s also nice to see that more people are voting “Yes” than “No”, and the feedback via the comments has been positive. If you’re impressed with the current state of the game, we think you’re going to be blown away by the time we’re finished…
Vote now and help bring Beyond Dark to Steam
We’re not there yet though so we still need everyone’s help. If you haven’t already done so, please vote for us via our Greenlight page.
Alternatively, you can find us via the Steam client by clicking COMMUNITY > GREENLIGHT via the top menu and searching for “Beyond Dark” on the search form on that page.
Thank you to everyone that has voted/commented so far – your support is as always, tremendously appreciated!

We’re up to #46 of around 2,000 games waiting on Greenlight. Hopefully we’re getting there! We appreciate all of the votes and comments from everyone so far 🙂 We’ve just posted an update to our Greenlight listing here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/updates/756613956
