Questions about Steam

[MattKapa]

Hey guys, my game just got greenlit on Steam:

I have read snippets about a private Steamworks object, but I can't seem to find much information. Does anyone know anything about this elusive object, or could maybe point me in the right direction? You can PM me as well, if it's secret info .
Thanks!

I think it was originally made for Nifflas, you could ask him about it.

Congrats for the greenlight!

One day, MMF2-made games will conquer Steam!

The old one is not stable enough and lots changed since it was made by Jamie. CT is working on new Steam related stuff with MMF 2.5?

Whats the question Fano?

Is there a new extension in the works for Steam and Fusion 2.5? Yes.
We hired a developer and he is working on it right now.

Will we release it for 2.0? I don't think so, maybe.
Is there a demand for it?

I'm definitely demanding a steam extension!

I've been asking for it ever since steamworks went public... Not sure why the old extension is being kept private right now...

What is the ETA for the 2.5 extension? Will this be free? Will this be publicly available or still require privately requesting it after being greenlit?

I totally would love to get my game on Steam once it's ready for release, and I would love it even more if I could know what I'm getting myself in for with steam integration ahead of time. It would be silly not to release the extension for everyone to use now that steamworks is publicly available. It would be a HUGE selling point for Clickteam since I'm sure a lot of indie game developers want to get their games on Steam.

Hey Jeff! I'm not sure if there's a large demand, but I definitely think that people will complain if my greenlit game will be missing the steam achievements :P. And I'm sure there will be more greenlit games made with MMF2 in the future. I've been debating hiring a programmer to make this extension for me, but I'd much rather just use/license one that's already made.

Will Fusion 2.5 be able to open MMF2 projects? Maybe I will be able to open my project in 2.5 and add the extension there, then just save it again as a 2.5 project.

Fano, is the old extension stable enough to handle simple achievements at least ? That's all that I want to incorporate from Steamworks, just basic achievements.
Thanks a lot guys! I'm hoping there is a way to add achievements!

MMF2.5 will be able to open MMF2 projects.

CF2.5 should also be able to load MMF2 extensions, but I don't know what new features the CF2.5 extension SDK has in store that would make MMF2 unable to load CF2.5 extensions.

@Jeff.

I meant that there is an extension for MMF2 but it's old, outdated and unstable (as far as I know from few Steam Developers). And that you are working for one for F2.5 which IMHO should be for F2.5 and F3.
