Construct 2 and Steam

So, are construct 2 users ever going to be able to put there games on steam in an update or such thing? because i would say most of us are going to make pc games and the most pc gamers buy on steam.

its not a need im just wondering if this will ever happen. <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Well, PC games on steam are nothing more than PC games that go through a greenlight (or are from big developers). You can export to desktop in C2, it's up to you then to try and get your game on the big Steam platform. If you do a little forum search, you'll see that several games have tried already to get there.

A game made with node webkit, which C2 uses for exe export, has been greenlit for steam. So yes, C2 games can get on steam.

Arima to which game are you referring?

Game Dev Tycoon, I believe.

Tools within C2 that would let us work with the steam tools would be very helpful, if any of us manage to make a successful enough game that Valve would let us on their service, though :)

Yep, Game Dev Tycoon.

This one I guess?

(not a great video, host should just change his name to kill butt.)

This is where I got when Googling Construct 2 to steam

A few years later, any good tutorials?

In theory you can publish a simple NW.js exported game to Steam (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but you won't be able to use the Steam API (overlay, achievements, etc.). For those, you'll need a Steam plugin. Go either with the experimental Greenworks (note that it's experimental) plugin: experimental-greenworks-plugin_t117833

Or go with one of these paid plugins:

https://www.scirra.com/store/construct2 ... am4c2-2545

You'll need to pay the Greenlight submission fee (one time payment for a developer account):

After you are ready, you can set up a Greelight page and start gathering votes to be greenlit.

As glerikud said, you can use NW.js exported version of your game. Just what's worth to mention is that you do not upload your game to Steam like to Google Play by just uploading a file. You have to set up Steamworks SDK and upload your project via this SDK (there are official tutorials for that). And not required but rather recommended is to change the .exe file icon which needs a separate program. Same goes for Mac version. The default icon is the NW.js logo.

So nothing really? Just export as a Node-Webkit and we are good to go?

Nothing else? I don't need to pay for any plugins like you linked there, (Only steam fee but I got that covered).

How is it when game gets greenlit ect? Do I just give steam the .exe or?

I mean, A tutorial on

Construct 2 to steam tutorial would be the best

Airscape - The Fall of Gravity is on Steam, so it is possible.
