Race the Sun devs headline an indie awareness campaign

Recommended Videos

Developer Flippfly ran into a bit of trouble when they launched Race the Sun ā€” they found out that debuting a game that wasnā€™t on Steam was really, really tough.

Rather than sitting on the sidelines and just waiting for a Greenlight however, Flippfly has decided to take action, banding together with developers of over 35 different indie games with an initiative called the ā€œNot on Steam sale.ā€ The campaign is to raise awareness for great indie games that arenā€™t on Steam, and features discounts of 25-50% off. Youā€™ll be able to catch this sale in full from today through October 8th.

Flippfly stresses that this sale is not anti-Steam in any way, itā€™s just that many developers cannot get on Steam, which leaves them with a much smaller potential audience. As a side note, many of these games are currently under review in the Greenlight program, and if they have a key icon next to them, the developer will give you a Steam key free of charge if the title ever reaches the marketplace proper. Awesome!
