Valve’s Steamworks Now Free
Valve, the award winning developer behind the Half-Life and Team Fortress games, has announced that the Steamworks Software Development Kit (SDK) is now free. The SDK offers complete publishing and development tools to independent game developers and grants them access to Steam features such as product key authentication, copy protection, auto-updating, social networking, matchmaking, anti-cheat technology, and more. This is a huge announcement for would-be developers because there are more than 15 million active users on Steam. Valve’s service has launched many successful independently made games, most recently Dylan Fitterer’s highly successful rhythm game Audiosurf.
