“Millennium” RPG Sale & Series Greenlight Drive – Help Me Say, “I Told You So!”

Posted by Rampant Coyote on February 4, 2014

“Indinera Falls”, the person in charge of Aldorlea Games, has made more commercial computer RPGs in his career than just about anybody.  You can check out the self-published section of the website if you have doubts. Or this post. If there are people who have matched or exceeded this count, they are few in number. I only wish I could be as prolific. The quality of the games have definitely improved over time as well, as you’d expect.

These are very much in the vein of classic 16-bit console RPGs, which I know are not to everybody’s liking here. That’s okay. However, one of Aldorlea’s more popular series, Millennium, has finally come to a conclusion with episode 5, and is now in the midst of a Steam Greenlight drive.

So if you feel charitable (or interested in the games, especially), go upvote the series on Steam.

(Oh, and if you haven’t already… Frayed Knights is still awaiting your upvote as well…)

I probably do more effort linking other people’s Steam Greenlight campaigns than my own, but I did want to mention the drive, both to help him out, and also for my own benefit. See, we made a deal.  The upshot is that once his games are accepted on Steam, I get to mock him mercilessly. Like me, his games were turned down originally by Steam just before Greenlight. He’s doubtful his games will be greenlit regardless of placement. If he’s proven wrong, I get to to give him a big “I told you so.” Otherwise, he gets to mock me, instead. Since I’m sure I’m right, I’m enthusiastic about making sure he has that opportunity to be proven wrong. He’ll be crying all the way to the bank, I’m sure, but that’s just the kind of guy I am.

It’s getting up there to the top of the list for Greenlight, so it probably won’t take long if he gets a good push. Another month, maybe.

To further sweeten the pot, until the end of the week, the first game in the series is on sale at a 70% discount. This was for newsletter-subscribers to know about, but I have permission to let folks know about it here. It’s at 70% off for the next couple of days. To get the discount, you only need to go to the Millennium 1 page and click “buy now.” The discount will appear in your shopping cart. No special code word necessary. Secret discounts. That’s why you come to this blog, right? 🙂

Okay, maybe not. To be honest, I don’t know why you keep coming, but you do. Both Aldorlea and I figure we suck at this whole marketing / networking thing, and aren’t any good at playing the games that have been played to get games greenlit on Steam. Wrong kind of games, I guess. But maybe this could be worth the few extra votes to take him over the edge.

And then, who knows? Maybe Frayed Knights won’t be too long after? (Although like I said, I’m terrible at it, and still too focused on FK2…)
