Hi,

Was wondering if current AppGameKit Classic supports Valve's Steam game service?
Let us know, thanks!

You can upload to Steam, yes.

If you are asking whether Tier 1 includes Steamworks integration, no. If you mean Tier 2, you can add the Steamworks SDK to your project.

I have written a plugin for Tier 1 that has a lot of Steamworks functionality in it: achievements, leaderboards, input, cloud. As far as I know, that's the only option.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

We signed up just now for Steam developer account, payed the $100, and filled out the electronic paperwork.
Just waiting for the approval now.

What files do we put in the game's compressed ZIP file?
(just the one EXE and the one DLL ?)

Thanks!

You'll want to upload your EXE, media folder, and Plugins folder if you have any. Basically any files used by your game in its compiled state.

The Steamworks documentation tells you how to upload everything.

Side note: I forgot to mention that the plugin is Windows only at the moment.

It seems would be easier, and more acceptable, to write the entire game in Tier 2 .
Is there a compiler that could re-compile a Tier 1 game into a Tier 2 game?
I know I could learn Tier 2 if it's necessary, but if there is a language converter, that would be easier, of course.

I don't think there is a tier one to tier two converter I think if there was we'd all be using it . As for learning tier two which is c++ give it a go . Personally I really get on with tier one and like it . I have spent some time with python 3 and although not that hard to learn I get better results with AppGameKit and think AppGameKit is just as fast as python 3 . Good day.
