100 games get greenlit on Steam

Road Redemption, Paranautical Activity, Teslagrad and more make the cut.

Lately Steam Greenlight has been letting games through in smaller, more frequent batches, but that all came to a head earlier today when Valve greenlit a whopping 100 titles.

Paranautical Activity.

This bring the total number of Greenlight-accepted titles on the service to 260. There's loads of good finds in today's mammoth batch: many of which we've written about before.

Some highlights include:

Paranautical Activity: A first-person shooter roguelike that passed up an Adult Swim publishing deal when it turned out the publisher didn't pull enough weight to strong-arm Valve into letting the game forego Greenlight. It then went to Kickstarter where it just surpassed its goal of $10K.

Mutant Mudds was famously rejected by Steam and developer Renegade Kid has been pushing it on Greenlight for the longest time. "Mutant Mudds has been Greenlit for release on Steam. I am in shock," tweeted Renegade Kid founder Jools Watsham earlier today.

Road Rash's unofficial spiritual successor Road Redemption made the cut as well, following its successful Kickstater campaign.

Following suit are other Kickstarter successes like the action-roguelike Delver's Drop and Neverhood spiritual successor Armikrog.

Curiously, Shadow of the Eternals also made the cut, despite its second unsuccessful crowdfunding campaign.

I'm also happy to see Teslagrad on there, after having played its excellent demo last week.
