Our team was very fortunate in that our game won an award from Intel in their Level Up Demo contest.

For most indie games, getting voted on by the community in the green light process is the most straightforward way to get on steam. If you have a project that has the right mass appeal, it seems that this can go very quickly. But it seems that most games need to build up a fan base and a following that can deliver votes and push them through the process.
- jason_slack 12y agoCan you get the Steam SDK and develop, etc while you are trying to get Green Light?
- erik 12y agoYes, Valve did open up access to their SDK. I don't know if it's worth investing much effort into until you have actually been accepted on to steam though. https://partner.steamgames.com/ https://partner.steamgames.com/
