SteamWorks, the library for deployment, patching, and protecting games using Valve's Steam platform is now free for all aspiring developers out there.

Looks promising. Hopefully it will motivate lots of new developers.

Well, not indie developers, anyhow. Seems the only way to get hold of the SDK is to mail some random person inside Valve, and I doubt they'll pick just any random indie. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

I think that's just so that they don't get littered with spambots and spacewhores, just people that really want to use the service for their games.

They just want to keep track of who's using it. They also probably expect people who really will produce stuff to be using this, so they want a personal touch. I haven't seen anything to suggest that indie developers wouldn't be able to use it, and if your curious then why not just e-mail Jason Holtman?

Uhm... OGRE is an object oriented 3D library. Nothing more, nothing less.

dna Hoe does this rate compared to OGRE?You're comparing apples and oranges, Steam is not the Source Engine, steam is just for deploying and patching games, not a 3D game engine.. -=-=- YouTube Twitter Computer Science Series: Logic (pt1) (part 2) (part 3) 2's Complement Mathematics: Basic Differential Calculus
