Releasing a game on Steam
One thing that really helped me is looking at the source code and assets of one game that I really enjoyed -- SNKRX, the creator of the game, a327ex, put everything on Github so you can take a look how a finished game looks: https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX/. The repo even includes the various images needed for Steam, this was very nice so I could make sure some of the assets I made aren't unfit for their purpose: https://github.com/a327ex/SNKRX/tree/master/assets/media . There are also some Photoshop files provided on the Steamworks FAQ which are very useful too, but they mainly show just in which area of the image you shouldn't put important text etc.

What I want to do in life is to make games. But I'm from a third world country with no video game companies, and I can't move. In my situation, what's the most likely way to make money as an indie game dev? I don't need much ($500 a month would be enough), and I can bide my time.

Devs who open source their games, why?
I'm the developer of SNKRX and on top of what most other people mentioned, the truth of the matter is that making games is hard and making games while working on someone else's codebase is even harder. Anyone who has the capacity to do anything useful with your game's codebase will likely also have the capacity to make their own game from scratch, so they'll just do that instead.

How many open-source games do you know?
SNKRX is a commercial game and is open source (MIT), but it's not an open source project -- the developer is focused on improving their game for their gaming community and not building a development community around the game.
