Nice work, Redeemer! So great to get some community attention! I can't recall whether I've already given Barony the thumbs up on Greenlight, but I will when I get the chance. Hopefully someone at Valve sees it!
EDIT: By the way, I had the video going in the background while I did some other stuff. Cool creatures, environments, traps, weapons, NPCs -- it's all there! Nice!

Thanks Jibb! We were going to wait until our launch date to kick off the greenlight as you suggested, but when the Twitch community got wind of our game and started streaming it we got in touch with a fellow named Kevin White (aka Jacklifear) who's going to be organizing a prelaunch event to generate hype Very Soon, and he suggested that we launch the greenlight NOW so that we could capitalize on all the traffic he and all of his affiliates will be generating in the coming days. So, the lesson is: no battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy, and no marketing plan ever survives contact with the consumer. When the circumstances change you need to adjust your strategy, and in our case that meant launching the greenlight now instead of waiting the extra week and missing this opportunity for votes and exposure. Anyway, thanks for the support everybody! Words can't describe how much I appreciate it. Seriously.

Pre-ordered and voted on Greenlight. I still remember the early preview copy you gave me to play, love the concept. All the best

Brilliant! Congrats EDIT: Does that mean Steam Achievements for Barony? When can we expect the Steam version? (Off-topic): KarBOOM fan-cake, based on the "Overgrowth" level where grass grows from the centre of the level over time.

So, after 39 days, Barony was just greenlit on Steam.
Many thanks to everyone who voted for us! It really means a lot! Congratulations! 39 days doesn't seem too long to me, I've heard stories of games waiting a year or longer to be greenlit.
