Congratz!
/me opens steam and gets ready to add the game.
Congratulations tynan
Congratulation Tynan! ;D
Cool :)
Thanks everyone!
wow, that didnt take long... congratulations indeed!
Well, we all knew it was a matter of time. Guess it was less time rather than more. 8)
How long until we see Rimworld on Steam? Jan.2014 when Alpha comes out?
And how long until we see RW on non-hegemonic-wannabe distribution platforms ?
Are there going to be any Steam-exclusive features? I prefer to play DRM-free versions of games and save Steam keys for trading
Also will be RimWorld be on Humble as well? I find that's the easiest way to keep track of and update DRM-free games
I have no idea if/what other platforms the game may be on. Sorry I can't be more specific.
Congratulations! Ever figure out what that #5 game was? :P

I understand that at this time your not sure about other distributors, and the game isn't probably ready for release everywhere, but you can submit it to gog.com through their indie submission page (http://www.gog.com/indie (http://www.gog.com/indie)). In any case, I hope things go well as you try to finish it up and that it's avaialbe DRM-free somewhere upon release.
It'll always be available DRM free direct from rimworldgame.com (where Ludeon keeps all the profits, and I prefer people go).
It's obviously up to you, but, just so it's clear... The ogre has been fed, so you don't want to be distributed on the true DRM-free distributors, which do happen to have exposure as well ?

As I say, there is no decision-making happening with regards to non-Steam distributors. It's completely undecided.
Congratulations!!!!
Felicitats!!!!
Awesome. Now it is just the 15 days left, before the x amount of days before people can get their hands on the prototype. I am amazed how far the game gotten on Kickstarter without a gameplay demo and really excited even more so now. The polishing has done really well and people are eager for the simulation type of games that they get nowhere else. Greenlight went like a breeze, too and now the only thing that needs to be taken care of is to not get too excited and overhyped and calmly wait for it. :D
There was no demo per se, but the smart use of YouTubers was the next best thing.
Congratulations on the green light. I see an interview a few weeks ago from one of the guys who developed Euro Truck Simulator, he said they was doing fine with sale and was quite happy. Then the game got green lit and they just was not prepared for the explosion of the fan base. Their sales tripled overnight and by the end of the first week the steam sales figures were higher than any other outlet.
I hope you get a similar success story and Rimworld becomes a hit.
Fantastic news. Congratulations Tynan!
congratz Ty for greenlit.. i also voted for Rimworld :)
it's a pity that your super-pre-alpha is not available for all backers immediatly.. this would have convinced me to back you via your page already (cause i wanna play NOW ;);) ).. but i guess i'll wait for early access on steam then... it's more comfortable for me to have all games in one place
Congratulations Tynan for the greenlit!
Congratulations Tynan! Voted for it as soon as I was aware of it. Here's to a lot of future success! :D
I'm so ready to get my Steam key. ;D
Nice, good to see something good will be on greenlight again (There's a few stinker titles that came out of it, would be nice to get a title REALLY worth talking about.)
Can't wait to get my steam key for it when its available.
Congratulations, again! I hope you keep GOG in your mind. Their exposure has increased dramatically, and, at least from a customer's point of view, are really what Steam should be (dedicated to no-DRM, friendly community, extras with the purchase, good support, mod-friendly). They really appear to be an awesome company from a consumer point of view.
I read elsewhere Steam takes something like 30% of sales (with Humble Bundle taking only 5%), so obviously, in terms of profit, selling here is best for you. Of course, only people who have heard of Rimworld will come here. While I wish you the best, I don't see this site blowing up like Minecraft, as the circumstances surrounding it were unique: it was a unique game that filled a much broader niche, and the indie market was much less saturated than it is now.
On the topic of Steam, you may want to take a visit to your Steam Rimworld (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/discussions/183032873) page. Many of the people in the comments and discussions are very misinformed, and think that this game is a clone of Prison Architect, and even denounce you for stealing from them. A lot of the information on the Kickstarter page is not present there. A couple others and myself do what we can, but an official word or two from the lead developer could go a long way.

Won't happen, they're too busy working on taking over the world and brain-washing people.
Scary, I know.
British, believe me, we know your feelings about Steam. Should I really ban you from steam-related topics? >:(
Everything about Steam is to be abided, or else ?
So much for, you know, discussion...
First of all...CONGRATS Ty! And secondly, don't worry BRITISH I do not like Steam either. ;D
so......
Its well into 2014... any time for it to be on steam? (is it going to be?) as i would like games to have the auto update feature and have all (or most) games in 1 spot...
Congratulations Tynan from Australia with love
When will it be out? Hope there is a big content update for its release on steam, congrats!
1430% funded? no wonder he's gone on vacation, hope you have a good break, you probably won't get another for some time ;)
I like that we can buy it through his site and still get a Steam key. He gets all the money and we still get to put it in our Steam collections! Nice.
How to get the steam key? I really wish to get the steamkey so I can keep all stuff up2date latest version and stuff :))

Its not on Steam yet. AFAIK Tynan wants to have the game in a more polished state before he releases it on Steam.
ah ok...
I figured this game would fall under the steam "early access" games, were like prision architect the game was in like its 2nd? maybe 3rd alpha bu its ok, ill wait :)
Certainly great news!
