Facepunch.Steamworks VS GDevelop

This link might help as it has a couple examples: https://github.com/Facepunch/Facepunch.Steamworks/issues/261

- I'm using Facepunch as the steam library - it's a nice wrapper around the steam SDK, which can be a little annoying to use directly.

If you are using Unity, have a look at the facepunch wrapper for the Steamworks SDK. It's pretty nice.

I’ve been using this. Very easy to use, has p2p support. https://github.com/Facepunch/Facepunch.Steamworks

I also tried to integrate Facepunch.Steamworks, but it didn't seem to be working on Apple Silicon (if I understand correctly). Facepunch's last release was also 2 years ago. Since the latest Steamworks.NET was released a month ago, I believe it's currently the way to go (despite the clunkier API) if you're trying to integrate Steam into your C# Godot Project.

Facepunch.Steamworks 2.3.2

Steam's latest networking API has built in support for using relays to hide p2p IP addresses. He was using Another Fucking Steamworks C# Implementation which appears to be based on the older network apis.

Depending on how you check various things, I'd recommend you use Facepunch.Steamworks which is free and available here: https://github.com/Facepunch/Facepunch.Steamworks

It's not as monolithic as you'd think. There are lots of engines out there but their communities aren't very vocal compared to Unity, Unreal, and especially Godot's community.

Take a look at: https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects

And

https://www.gamedeveloper.com/blogs/the-generous-space-of-al...

If you look at both of these you'll see just how many engines there are and neither of these cover everything. There are plenty of engines popular in the Python community that no one outside of it are aware of. Such as Arcade [0], Python-Tcod [1], Ursina [2], UPBGE [3], and Panda3D [4]. But based on your description you'd really like https://gdevelop.io/. It embraces exactly what you're describing where you can build a game but just installing entire features others have made and put online into your game.

[0] Beginner friendly 2D library:

[1] Rougelike: https://python-tcod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[2] Beginner friendly 3D engine (built on Panda3D): https://www.ursinaengine.org/

[3] Blender Game Engine Fork: https://upbge.org/

[4] Highly flexible code first 3D engine: https://panda3d.org/

I'm not really a game maker, but would like to give a shout out to the fabulous https://gdevelop.io/

It has everything you need, is free and its VISUAL PROGRAMMING is fab...

After they switched to a monthly/annual subscription fee with the release of construct 3, I pretty much threw in the towel and switched over to Gdevelop.

Open source, completely free, and I can run it as a native application on my computer versus a weird web app. The idea that my game is basically tied to a SaaS is just not OK for me.
