Inside of this directory you'll find [code-inline]SteamworksExample.sln[/code-inline], which can be opened in Visual Studio. Open the solution and compile the project. If compilation succeeds then you're ready to go and can run the project directly from Visual Studio (you'll need to have Steam running in the background). …

This will also be true for your own games which utilize Steamworks. The Visual Studio project file should place the executable in the appropriate directory when building, but if you are using a different compiler or have modified the solution or project files you may need to copy it yourself. …

Our expectation for mods is that by default (a) they are non-commercial in nature, (b) are based on the official SDK for one of our games and (c) clearly communicate their status as a community project. [h4]Non-commercial[/h4] By "non-commercial," we mean that anyone who owns the original Valve game can download and play the mod for free. …

However, if you are distributing a total conversion mod that does not use our games' assets or your mod is otherwise a completely separate experience from the base game, then we may let it ship on Steam without additional formal dependencies. [*] [h4]Q: Why are there mods on Steam that do not follow these rules? [/h4] [b]A.[/b] Our approach has evolved over time and the projects you are thinking about have been grandfathered in. [*] [h4]Q: What about mods for games on Steam that were not developed by Valve? …

These are not a set of instructions that you have to do to be successful and not a substitute for making a great game.

The samples on the graph are colored as follows: [list] [*][b]Green[/b] indicates frame times within budget. In other words, they mean that your game is making framerate.
