Awesome. At least we have hope of being released in Steam within the year.
Oh man, I can't wait :D

We're #31.
Badspot told everyone on his server last night.
That means blockland goes greenlighted in 2 or 32 days

one more day?

COME ON COME ON

one more day?

COME ON COME ON
HNGGG
Time, why you no be tomorrow already

I honestly don't know why I'm so excited for this, but I am

watch it not get greenlighted again

watch it not get greenlighted again
Doubt it will this time also. I don't think it can go from #31 to #10 in 1 day.
The numbers don't add up.

i dont think they pick the top 10 based on votes. they look to see if the game has any positive feedback in the comments as well.

They're all hand picked, there is no strict guidelines to being greenlit.

They pick about the first 30 games

Which is exactly why we need to keep the comments section clean and stop the flaming.

I think it would be fair to speculate (based on the existence of the old Progress Scale and the Rankings available to Uploaders) that the games are chosen by being the top voted and/or the top highest vote-rates.
I don't think they even bother looking through feedback in the comments. That sounds a poor idea. You'll only get stupid comments, lots of bias and you'd take a very long time to check. Also, how can you compare between two products based on nigh-on identical comments about it?

Also haven't the last few updates been about 15-20-ish done at once?

I wouldn't hold my breath necesarilly on being picked tomorrow if our ranking is #31 (although we could be).
But I do see us getting a February release, assuming we don't slip down the polls (or others don't surpass us).
Let's be conservative and say that 15 get chosen. That jumps us to #16. We may still increase in rank in the time to the next greenlighting.

What percent is blockland at now?

There aren't %s anymore but we're number 31

This means at least two more months to deal with the hatters and officaly say that the blockland community kicked your but

I don't think that a calling a game "the stuff" is a compliment, but whatever floats you boat.
