SteamWorks

greenday5494 · 01-29-2008, 07:15 PM

SteamWorks is a new suite of tools from VALVe.
http://www.steampowered.com/steamworks/

with auto-updates, anti-piracy, everything

Hirohito · 01-29-2008, 07:33 PM

Is this available to free, 3rd party mods? From the wording, I'm assuming that it's only available for those that've published a product.

greenday5494 · 01-30-2008, 12:06 AM

well i think you may need to pay for it, but im sure its for 3rd parties.

KubeDawg · 01-30-2008, 03:08 AM

Cost?

**squeek.** · 01-30-2008, 03:13 AM

It's free.

Free, according to the Steam news page...

Interesting.

Edit: bah, beaten to it

nodnarb · 01-30-2008, 03:47 AM

So in theory, FF could use this?

greenday5494 · 01-30-2008, 04:36 AM

oh fucking yes!!! my new mod will take advantage of this! (it has support for the Sourc engine, right? :P)

Seems awesome. Sort of like your own private STEAM for your various games.

Hell yeah.

groovyf · 01-31-2008, 11:26 AM

Isn't this only of use to games that are published/sellable, and not for independant mods?

Elvis · 02-02-2008, 02:24 PM

FF 3.0 maybee?? :P

SoBe Green · 02-02-2008, 03:38 PM

I know the system is intended for those who have licensed a Valve owned engine or for other developers with games already. From an interview I read its more or less to keep Valve from controlling all the updates and giving the developers full control. Microsoft could learn a great deal from this with Xbox Live and I think Valve is trying to not go down that road. Two different worlds I know but Xbox Live would be so awesome if this was available.

I think its still kind of up in the air if third party mods are going to be supported. It would be ridiculous on Valve's part to not do that but who knows.

Ihmhi · 02-02-2008, 04:34 PM

I like the idea of "UPDATES" and "STATS".

Ding ding ding ding ding!

Last night, right as I was going to bed, I was going to remember to write an e-mail to Gabe N. that they should have stat tracking for games that use their engine to make it easier for the devs and pull more mod makers towards makin their engine. Who knew it was already out?
