Transcendence on Steam Greenlight

[GeorgeMoromisato]

I've put Transcendence up on Greenlight and I'd love to have your support: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=370711368[/url] Transcendence is a game of space combat and exploration set in a vast and dangerous galaxy. It was inspired by Nethack and Star Control II, and has a rich setting, procedurally generated star systems, and robust modding capabilities. Please let me know what you think!

Will do if Steam lets me. Is it still a free download or is it a paid one on Steam?.

You can try it at: http://transcendence.kronosaur.com[/url] If we get Greenlit, then we will develop a package on Steam that bundles the two paid expansion (Corporate Command and Eternity Port) and sell it.

Transcendence deserves to been seen by more people so I hope it gets greenlit for you soon George, just for the simple fact that you have been supporting this game for so long. Any plans to put Transcendence on Android and iOS? I think that is where you could make some money, since the game is pretty fleshed out so not many bugs and its really just porting the game (if it can be done easily). Plus 2D games play relatively easily on a tablet as well.

The engine is pretty complex at this point. Moreover, you'd be surprised at how hard it is to make money on Android/iOS. The market is so saturated that it's impossible to get noticed without a large marketing budget. Even Steam has better discoverability (due to their new Curators feature). Most people I've talked to suggest building up a large player base before porting to iOS. Thanks for your support! I really appreciate it!
