Steamworks Tutorial #1 - Building Your Content in Steampipe

Tips: When u try to login on steamcmd, DO not use <username> <password>, that should be username password without '<>' , that is so stupid.

I get ERROR! Build for depot ####### failed : Failure

Any tips?

This is out of date. Please make a new video that is in-step with the current Steamworks interface.

I've been struggling for hours.. you just helped me so much man. Thank you. The issue for me was placing and rewording the note docs inside the sdk folders...

possible you guys can enhance the voice over on these guides can't hear nothing like the dude is whispering lol?

Great video! Thank you. Is there a way to publish an update release at a future date? Rather than having to push it live now.

For anyone wondering the depots page is now under the steampipe section not the installation tab

Would be cool if this was updated in the past 6 years. Pretty different process now it seems like...

How were you able to find your game in the Steam client, even though it's not public yet? I am requesting a beta testing key, so I can test downloading the game from the Steam client.

"Already logged in"... how to log in on that command line?

Out of date Tutorial I believe? And not only that you never explained how to use CMD to log into steam which seems like an important detail. Ive only just started trying to learn how to do this so I can get my game on steam. Would have been nice to know how over complicated and ridiculous you made this process in the first place. So far its as clear as mud.

how do you even connect to the steam command?

we ever gonna get an updated version of this? X_X

Good job not updating your tutorial after you added depot_build_1002.vdf file

You really need to update this video. Default app_build_ script won't even upload anything. Jesus it's a disgrace to still be using such an abysmal pipeline all these years! Give us human interface!

Is there a way to not have to use the Authenticator every time I upload a build?

PLEASE update these videos. The layout has changed (depot uploads are now under "Builds" and have less options) and there are extra steps not listed (needing to go back into your app build to set the Build ID).

The amount of time I have wasted following this breadcrumb trail of raggedy documentation and shoddy workarounds is amazing.

why is it so complex for beginners to use!? This method sucks IMO can't I just upload the already zipped game files up on steam account page somehow?

🤮

I was thinking about making an updated tutorial for doing this as I found an easier way. Comment below if you are interested.

My steamcmd decided to always add an extra. after the buildfile path causing it to not be found when run.

so fucking confusing. I did 2 years ago, but forgot everything, and going here video again and again, but still I don't know what concept is [build] [depot]... please use normal word and do not change its meaning by yours only nerds understands.... please use normal people's word as is....

Skipping the steps in how you logged into Steam command was kind of a bummer.

I am using the Steamworks Gui so that I can upload a build on Steam, but when I click upload then the command lines stop asking for a Steam public password...waiting for me to input something but no way of writing in command lines. My password is correct and username. Any hints?

If you're reading this in 2024, this process is much simpler now. Look for newer guides.

Did he just dox his own password?

Ta na hora de atualizar esse video

Windows 7 with basic low performance theme :D Only thing missing is a crappy microphone and Indian accent :D

Changing my rage typing about this having not been updated for nearly a bloody decade (madness for a company the size of valve) to add yet anothe comment saying that there is a GUI version of the first seven minutes of this video that takes about three seconds to do. It's under SteamworksSDK\steamworks_sdk_160\sdk\tools\SteamPipeGUI

After trying to follow these steps and enduring the pain and suffering that came in a bundle with this video, I found that there are other videos that explain this process better. Save yourself the frustration and look for a different video.

Ma perchè c...o saltate passaggi?

This is so ridiculous, that official video is outdated as 7 years, since Steamworks layout also changed.
I suggest to checkout any none official tutorials.
Are more up to date and straight forward. There are few from this year alone.

For a company that rakes in billions every year the documentation is surprisingly shit. Followed these steps to a tea and get invalid parameter during "updating local cs"

Why do I have 2 depots files in my SDK ? You only have one ...
Do I need to remove the second one ??

love that they haven't updated this for 10 years now...

Would it be possible to have an update version of this, its 8 years old!

Other places just let you upload a zip and be done with it, I'm baffled a money printing machine like Steam can't just make this easier for all the people that weren't the designers of this strange system 💭

Its too blurry, and you don't explain how to get to this point.

Wery confusing. Looks steam not read comments. Video is old and not same like in page all stuff..

Official tutorial video is 10 years old... Good job.

I am so disappointed in how horrible steamworks/steampipe has been. This whole process has been concluded and obtuse. Valve has got to have some of the most verbose and meandering documentation ever written. I can't believe they have the audacity to paste an 11 year old tutorial on the official documentation. Absolute bonkers.

Steamworks is a shame when it comes to UX design. The platform should be updated, made more accessible, and have new, up-to-date tutorial videos. Everything I see on it feels so outdated.

Even for 8 years ago this is a shit tutorial and an even shittier process.
