These are things that any and all implementation of the Steam Workshop will need to do - at least I think so. I’ll look at how to upload, download and update your workshop items. I’m going to try to talk about big ideas and point out the problems I had along the way. The main goal of this post is to give an example of how I implemented the Steam Workshop and not to give a step by step process for you to follow exactly - I actually don’t think it’s even possible since every game is so different.

And those details can often depend on your projects needs and structure. As always the problems lie in the details. Well, sort of.įacepunch, provides some code snippets of how to upload and update a workshop item. The second problem that of the lack of documentation… Was seemly solved by using Facepunch Steamworks. With the type of content and a simple (singular) external file the first problem is largely solved. In my earlier post, I explained how I’m using “Easy Save” to save all the data from levels and store it as an external file. I already had a sandbox level built into the game, so turning that into a level editor really shouldn’t be too much of a stretch. With Where’s My Lunch it was easy to figure out the type of content.
