Steamworks now publicly available for all

Does this mean we may see a steam plugin at all?

Never saw that coming , gabe , you sneaky ... :P

Steamworks doesn't say anything about Javascript

Would it work with the node-webkit stuff?

You would have to code a node-webkit plugin that communicates with the API properly. However depending on how much Steam wants HTML5, they could work with C2 to see that it can provide steamworks functionality

I duno if it'd work with webgames, unless valve wants to go there.

Ssdd. Nothing has changed it's a third party api with its own separate approval process.

Figuratively speaking you will have to put the cart before the horse in order to use this.

Holy crap that's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know how to install node.js module inside of node-webkit exporter

It would be really cool if someone could make a Steamworks plugin or somehow integrated it.

Well since it's open for non-steam game owners to do stuff with it, it could potentially now be developed by a 3rd party instead of Scirra.

Only problem now is getting a C2 game on steam to test things out unless they got a testbed for it.

I'm hoping to eventually take one of my C2 node-webkit executable games and try to go for greenlight on steam. I'm quite capable of making a game (been a developer for a few years) but writing the plugins to include the steam api is beyond my current coding abilities. Is anyone working on this?

We are just starting to integrate the SDK with our node-webkit based game greenheartgames.com/app/game-dev-tycoon (which was recently greenlit by Valve). At the moment I think it will simply be a nodejs plugin but I haven't looked into it in detail yet. We are NOT using C2 so I don't know how much use our integration will be but we do plan to open-source the integration part once we get it running. If anyone else is already working on this then please let me know ;)

Sounds good. GL and thanks!

Hey pakl, that's great to hear. Please keep us updated! :)

pakl isn't complicated? I've read this manual

https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/Using-Node-modules#3rd-party-modules-with-cc-addons

Steamwork SDK is written in C++, then add node-webkit open source file amd Steamworks and compile. Also create another javascript function to access steamworks API... Sometimes it may crash and can waste of time... Well, it looks like a risky. Valve told us we have to use our own wrapper. What a lazy company.
