| Aug 4, 2013 at 23:46 | comment | added | Pip | Yep! I i've played quite a few amazing Greenlight games. I thought it would be obvious though, sorry! | |

This has nothing to do with Steam except it's hosted there. The community will vote on your game and it will either appear or won't. See: Steam Greenlight | |
| Aug 4, 2013 at 14:37 | comment | added | Pip | @jazib Steam is a bit different, but nothing to worry about, they have a lower chance of accepting games, though. Chillingo is a big name, but is fairly easy to deal with, if your game is good and you take a little time for polish. Finally, it would be risky to people who NEED the money, like bigger indie studios, but probably not to you college guys. | |
| Aug 4, 2013 at 12:11 | comment | added | Jazib | Thank you for the comprehensive reply. I think our game looks good, and we sure would love to make something out of it. Self publishing and marketing seems a little risky for the first game don't u think? We wouldn't want to let our game disappear in the flood of other apps at the store. chillingo is too big a name for us, can we really get them to publish our game? What is the procedure? Also, isn't steam different than a normal publisher? | |

| Aug 4, 2013 at 3:45 | comment | added | Vaughan Hilts | There's a lot of things wrong with this answer - particular stating publishers will pay your development costs and assuming you won't lose money if you publish via someone else. " have a lawer read it, preferably for free" have this done by a credible lawyer - paying to have this done is a small cost compared to developing your game.. | |
