This plugin is a bit different than our other game networking plugins. These features aren’t required, but their presence in your game could encourage more people to vote “yes!”. Using the new Steamworks plugin, your app can now take advantage of leaderboards, achievements, user stats, player information, and various Steam overlays in your game. This plugin supports core features requested by developers who have already had their apps successfully published to Steam. To ensure that your games can compete in the Steam store, Corona Labs has been diligently working to create a plugin for Steam.
Now, Corona developers can build apps for Windows ( win32.exe) or macOS and submit them to Steam to be “greenlit.” During the greenlight process, the Steam community reviews apps and decides if they want them to be published. When it comes to PC desktop games, the premier place to publish is Steam.
