Greenlight Arcade

Back in 2015 we held a massive Steam Key giveaway for our indie game Wickland. It ended up crashing our small giveaway site that we made. We had over 130,000 gamers join our social media and sign up with their email simply to get a free Steam Key. We learned the power of free and built a platform for other indie developers to do small game giveaways, while we helped gamers uncover these “diamond in the rough” games. The platform, built from scratch, had several features. The key farm allowed users to dig for free keys, the treasure house allowed users to loot for discounts on their purchases, and the mailbox allowed users to send items between themselves. XP leveling was given to users who were active on the site. Each new level granted loot. A fairly extensive admin dashboard was also created to allow the secure uploading of Steam keys as well as giving keys back to developers when they didn’t sell out. The project has pivoted several times and remains a passion project for us.
