Introduction

Steam is one of the most popular platforms for desktop games but you'll need to do a bit of setup to make sure your game can make the most of Steam specific functionality like Achievements and the Overlay. There are a few bits to download as well as some version matching, but we'll walk you through the process in this tutorial.

Please bear in mind, this guide will not cover things like how to set up a Steamworks Account or building your game's Steam page.

  • Can you teach how to upload DLCS?

    I have no idea how to do it

  • Very useful, thanks!

  • I can't add files to the package.nw files after renaming them to zip files or when using third party tools like 7Zip or Winrar. I can normally add files to other zip files, but these seemed to be locked down.

      The forums are a much better place to discuss issues with your project: construct.net/en/forum/construct-3/how-do-i-8

      Plus, then you can include screenshots of any error codes, or problems you're having in the process. If you can share how your achievements are set up in Steam in the forum thread, other users who have had success with Steam publishing may be able to point you in the right direction.

          Having not published a game to Steam myself, I can't say - but I would assume you'd have to be testing the game through Steam to actually trigger achievements, seeing as it relies on Steam's API to do so. Afaik it shouldn't need to be published to trigger otherwise you wouldn't be able to test your achievements.

          Again, the forums are much better for this sort of thing but you could also ask for help in the unofficial community discord server, folks in there are usually super helpful.
