Transcendence has been officially Greenlit by Valve:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =370711368

It will take a little while to prepare a build for release on Steam, but I'll keep everyone updated. Meanwhile, this original post contains a quick FAQ on Steam and Greenlighting: https://forums.kronosaur.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7001

Thanks so much to everyone who voted and to everyone who helped spread the word!

Take the time on the release. It's a good opportunity to try to get some attention from gaming press (although not as good as it was, since a LOT comes out on steam these days) and a good release will do wonders for the game.

Edit: I'm curious as to how DLC and the like is gonna be handled with the Steam launch, but I'm guessing that will be a thing to work out later. The trick (as is the case with the existence of paid content in the first place) is to avoid fragmentation of the community....but that's gonna happen anyway with Steam.

The only non - forum sites I've ever used to find games are Jayisgames and Tvtropes. If the former can be reached, by all means take the shot, and if anyone has an account on the latter our article could certainly use some more love, but aside from that a few Reddit posts(r/gamedev would be an excellent start, especially with a link to your guide on making ambitious games) would give the most bang for your buck. Of course, the outlets George has already been reported on from could use an update on the new milestone.

Wow! That was really fast. Congrats! :D

Aside from a good release, don't forget to take interesting/beautiful screenshots. The pictures are more important than the description, for some people.
Yes, look at my avatar, I have a wyvera type ship.

 I’ve made a handful of contributions to it, myself. Actually, it’s not so much our page there that needs work as it is that the tropes in the game need linked to our page. I may put some work in on that over the next few days.
