Klei Entertainment's Mark of the Ninja is now live on Steam, completely in the open and totally unguarded against online purchases of $14.99. As for the trailer, it certainly isn't helping the 2D stealth game stay undetected.

Incidentally, Klei isn't resting its laurels after sending Mark of the Ninja on its way. The developer's next project is Don't Starve, described as "an uncompromising wilderness survival game full of science and magic." So, a bit like Half-Life 2 then? Oh wait, we've just seen the video, never mind.

#monaco Monaco is the top-down multiplayer co-op heist game we rave about here from time to time. Finally, it seems like we're close to knowing when it will come out. What we at least know today, thanks to the game's creator Andy Schatz, is that it will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade, through publisher Majesco, on the same day he'll release it independently onto Steam for PC and Mac. More »

For years, Pocketwatch Games' multiplayer heist-action game Monaco has been a hit at trade shows, award ceremonies and Joystiq parties. Now, Joystiq can exclusively reveal that it's going to be playable in your very own home on XBLA and Steam (for both Mac and PC).

There's no release date, but the self-published PC version will be released simultaneously with the Majesco-published XBLA release - Pocketwatch isn't sure if the Mac version will be day-and-date, but "we're doing our best."

"Monaco was originally designed to be played with four friends on the couch, all planning and executing a heist together," designer Andy Schatz said. Pocketwatch has added four-player online co-op to all the versions, in addition to the couch-based co-op and the single player ("the stealthiest version," Schatz calls it.) The XBLA release facilitates the authentic couch multiplayer by putting the game on a couch-friendly console. Schatz said that he met with Majesco at PAX East and "the stars aligned."

Stats Changes!
-Increased the amount of castle damage required to fill A.R.G. from 4850 to 12000.
-Berserking units not longer gain a speed boost.
-You castle now takes 10% less damage for every unit berserking. This stacks, so if 10 or more of your units are berserking, your castle will be invulnerable.

Edna & Harvey: Harvey's New Eyes is Now Available on Steam and 25% Off*!

From the creators of the award winning games The Whispered World and Deponia

Shy schoolgirl Lilli is having a tough time at the convent. Only her imagination helps her to escape from the strict rule of Mother Superior. But when her best friend Edna disappears under mysterious circumstances, Lilli has to rise above her own and face a tough journey to not only get her friend back but also confront her subconscious fears.

Lilli, a young girl at a convent school, is the main character of Edna & Harvey: Harveys New Eyes. Apparently the best-behaved little girl in the world, she executes all her tasks diligently, no matter how unfair they may be. Her innocent, imperturbable way of carrying out the orders of others has something both tragic and eerie about it. Any resentment, any childlike disobedience is buried deep beneath a seemingly impenetrable shell of sweetness. But how long until this shell will fissure?

Captain Scarlet and her Pirate's Booty, new DLC for Borderlands 2, is now available on Steam!

Enter the hostile wastelands of Pirate Bay in search of ancient treasure buried somewhere in the waste, a cache that would make even the most stoic of Pandora explorers hunger for its discovery. It's rumored to be guarded by the largest, most vicious creature on Pandora but that shouldn't deter a real adventurer... featuring new wasteland locations, new enemies, new quests, and much more loot!

Everyone, it’s OK. You can calm down now. Put away your finely honed rioting tools and carefully calibrated bludgeoning instruments. Octodad: Dadliest Catch, you see, finally got the Greenlight go-ahead to haphazardly fling itself in Steam’s general direction. After flopping and flailing about in hilarious frustration for 30 or so minutes, it also managed to affix 20 other games to its tentacles – which it will now nonchalantly drag onto the storefront with it. Or maybe they were just greenlit the normal way as well, but this is how I choose to interpret the information I’ve been given.

Greenlight has curated its second batch of indie games worthy of launching on Steam, and instead of the 10 we expected, this round sees 21 new titles. Greenlit games include AirBuccaneers, Forge, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, Octodad: Dadliest Catch and The Stanley Parable: HD Remix.

"This second wave of titles was originally targeted to include at least 10 titles," Valve writes. "Given the number and quality of games submitted, and the ship date of many of the top-ranking titles, the decision was made to increase the size of this group."

These 21 games join the 10 previously greenlit titles; of those, only McPixel has launched on Steam so far. In September, Steam had more than 2,000 games to sort through on Greenlight, with 800 live for public voting. The Greenlight system is far from perfect for some indie developers, but Steam may still be refining its system, if the increased number of greenlit games is any indication.

Check out the complete list of freshly minted games on Steam Greenlight below:

#steam Valve's second set of Greenlight games includes an HD remix of The Stanley Parable, Octodad, and Miasmata. More »

Second Set Twice the Size of the First

October 15, 2012 -- Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, Portal, and Team Fortress) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the second set of titles proceeding to worldwide distribution opportunities through Steam Greenlight.

This second wave of titles was originally targeted to include at least 10 titles. Given the number and quality of games submitted, and the ship date of many of the top-ranking titles, the decision was made to increase the size of this group. (See full list below.)

Steam Greenlight is a new platform feature that enlists the community's help in selecting some of the next games to be released on Steam. Launched on August 30, Greenlight allows developers and publishers to post information and media about their game in an effort to convince Community members that their game should be released on Steam.

Like the first set, this second set of titles to launch via Greenlight will be released independently in the months ahead (as they are varying stages of completion).

- Added new GPUs from nVidia and ATi to auto-detection list.
- Fixed OpenGL initialization crashing on drivers that returned invalid values for identification.
- Added workaround for wrong report from ATI OpenGL driver about max render target size supported (GL_MAX_RENDERBUFFER_SIZE).
- Fixed some rare cases where shadows were rendered wrong due to visibility errors.
- Added further optimizations to visibility system for shadows.
- Instancing now works even on destruction models.
- Fixed a model disappearing too early if it has several meshes with different max distances and/or fading lenghts.
- Fixed problem with some models flashing when fading out.
- Fixed flashing pyramid in cut-scene in Luxor level.
- Fixed occasional junk screen on startup.
- Fixed extremely slow updating of font texture when using extended Direct3D device.
- Fixed some HDR brightness parameters from one split-screen view being applied to another in some cases.
- Highlight shader now renders in correct brightness when HDR output normalization is used.
- Loading shaders from disk is now faster.
- Some shaders now report errors for some invalid setup combinations, to aid properly configuring them.
- Optimized zoom shader so it doesn't render the effect in vain when very weak.
- General optimization in CPU usage for per-frame preparations for some shaders.
- Several optimisations in mirrors, refractions and water rippler, as well as SSAO, color ramp processing and light-streaks effect.
- Added compatibility testing cvar 'efx_bNoColorGrading' which, when enabled, forbid color ramping in post-processing pass.
- Radio chat controller now has IsInRadioChat() functoin to determine if a radio chat is currently in progress.
- Khnum now adjusts its feet on unlevel ground.
- All jetpack parameters are now overridable through zone controller.
- Jet pack can now be dynamically added and removed from script using AddJetpack() and RemoveJetpack() macro functions.
- Weapons that don't need auto-aiming no longer show the indicator.
- Pressing "aim" button when auto-aiming is enabled will lock on target even for weapons that don't have aim-down-sight.
- Auto-aim target tracking during aiming is now more robust handling cases such as spiders on ceilings.
- Fixed multiple players sometimes being able to attach a sticky bomb to the same entity on the same attachment.
- Fixed sticky bombs sometimes failing to lock on attachment in some rare cases.
- Puppets can now define custom stretch multiplier for locked on sticky bomb projectiles / attachments.
- Fixed possible lockup in spaceship's beam attack.
- Fixed cases where enemies using some tactics would never be able to unable to reach their foe.
- Tactics without markers now work.
- Fixed an issue with enemy kills in beast hunt mode not being counted if achieved via indirect damage (e.g., killing a kamikaze near another enemy, killing them both with kamikaze's blast).

- It is no longer possible to sprint when carrying MyBurden.
- It is no longer possible to sprint underwater.
- Fixed a rare crash after respawning a player who was gibbed.
