GodotSteamKit Now Live

Hey there! The GodotSteamKit is now finally live for the public both on Codeberg and Itch.io in two different versions: free piecemeal components and a paid all-in-one plug-in for $20 that has everything and will get updates before the free component versions. For a more details explanation of what is currently in the Kit and what is coming next, please check out the project page. Oh, and if you are a sponsor, you already have access to the full plug-in via Codeberg but will need to reach out for a key on Itch.io.

Since we're here, let's do a quick rundown of the contents. There are three major components in this first release: custom nodes, starter kits, and autoloads.

The Custom Nodes

Currently the Kit contains two types of custom nodes: Steam Avatars and Steam Usernames which come in a few different flavors. Avatars have SteamAvatar, SteamAvatar3D, and SteamAvatarRect, which are based on Sprite2D, Sprite3D, and TextureRect respectively. While usernames have SteamUsername and SteamUsername3D, which are based on Label2D and Label3D respectively.

The Starter Kits

Designed to help jump-start some of the more cumbersome parts of working with Steam, these starter kits can be mixed, torn apart, and redesigned to fit your project. Starting off with Steam Chat, Steam Leaderboards, and Steam Lobbies.

The Autoloads

Lastly we have just one autoload script that houses the basic properties and initialization processes for Steam. This isn't really necessary but it is currently used by the starter kits so you'll need to patch that out if you decide to roll your own.

Tutorials

The release got delayed by some number of days as I went through and created some documentation on the various bits and pieces of each component. The autoloads still need one written up but that will come soon.

More Coming

There are more components planned for the near future which will come to the all-in-one Kit first then trickle out into the free versions later. Currnetly cooking, there are more custom nodes, starter kits, and the first wave of extra Steam tools. You can read more about those here.

For now, check out the Kit and let me know if you find anything broken and any feedback you may have. Especially if you have ideas on any additional tools that aren't mentioned in the roadmap. I may have forgotten to put them in there or they may yet be a secret.
