Shards Online has received enough support from its fans on Steam, and has been Greenlit for (eventual) publication on Valve’s digital distribution juggernaut:

Today is a big day for Shards Online. Bring greenlit means we can take advantage of Steam’s platform and massive user base to bring our project to a wider audience.

I want to extend a thank you to each and every one of you who voted and helped us spread the word about the campaign. It was so rewarding for us as a team to come in every day to so many new positive comments on the greenlight page.

Things might get a little quiet for a while as we batten down the hatches and push to get the game to Alpha. Thanks again for all your support!

One wonders whether they’ll put the game into Early Access?
