Steamworks.NET Alternatives

Steamworks.NET reviews and mentions

• How do you get more than four controllers to work with Steam Input and the new input system?

• Should I review my own game? (Still not published on Steam)

• Networking solution for a turn based strategy in Unity?
  1 project | /r/gamedev | 24 Jun 2022

  You have a lot of options for networking (yes, the example you mentioned works well under peer-to-peer). I ended up using Steamworks.NET because it's pretty directly tied to the Steam SDK. It also let me match to my friends right on Steam (guessing you and your friends use it).

• Steamworks multiplayer - Godot vs Unity
  1 project | /r/godot | 14 Apr 2022

  I have a multiplayer game on steam made with Godot C# and Steamworks.NET wrapper https://steamworks.github.io/.

• Steamworks.NET issue with "ExchangeItems"
  1 project | /r/Unity3D | 2 Apr 2022

  Hi, I am using Steamworks.NET for my game, I'm near releasing it and I have an issue. I use the "ExchangeItems" function for my game so players can earn cosmetics, The function consumes the crate (that the player opens), and the output is a generator with a bundle. The issue/error I get is: k_EResultFail, and the crate doesn't get consumed and I don't earn any items.

• I made a C# Steamworks.NET Template for macOS and Windows
  3 projects | /r/godot | 13 Mar 2022

  I put together a repository you can borrow if you want to make a C# Godot game that uses Steamworks.NET on either Mac or Windows.
