Valve has announced 100 more indie titles that have been awarded Steam publishing approval via Steam Greenlight.
This is an unusually large batch, after previous batches had consisted of between 10 and 20 games. But Valve says the huge dump of new titles is intended to 'stress test' recent updates to its developer tools.
"As we work to streamline the publishing workflow and improve the tools available to developers preparing for release on Steam, we've reached a point where we are ready to stress-test our system," said Valve.
"The best way to accomplish this is to invite a significant number of developers to use the updated tools and systems, ship their games and software with these tools, and to give us feedback so that we may continue to improve the process," it added.
Among the 100 games in the list are popular 3DS platformer Mutant Mudds, Eternal Darkness successor Shadow of the Eternals, and WayForward's critically acclaimed platformer Shantae: Risky's Revenge. The full list of new titles is here.
This catapults the total number of Greenlit titles up to 260.
"Future batches are not likely to be as large, but if everything goes smoothly we should be able to continue increasing the throughput of games from Greenlight to the Steam store," said Valve.
