Building the Steam Integration Tool We Always Wanted

If you've ever integrated Steam features into a Unity project, you know the process can be repetitive and time-consuming. Setting up achievements, managing leaderboards, handling cloud saves, configuring DLCs, and implementing rich presence often means digging through documentation, writing boilerplate code, and repeating the same setup across multiple projects.

That's why we're building Steamworks Manager.

Our goal is simple: create a professional, production-ready Steam integration framework that allows developers to get up and running in minutes instead of days.

What Is Steamworks Manager?

Steamworks Manager is a Unity tool built on top of Facepunch.Steamworks that provides a modern, visual workflow for integrating Steam features into your game.

Instead of writing custom integration code for every project, developers will be able to configure Steam features directly through editor tools and use a clean, async API throughout their game.

Whether you're creating your first indie title or managing multiple Steam releases, Steamworks Manager is designed to save development time and reduce complexity.

Documentation and Demo Content

One of our biggest priorities is documentation.

The initial release will include:

• Code examples for every major system

• Sample implementation projects

• Demo scenes showcasing all functionality

We want developers to spend less time searching through documentation and more time building their games.

Current Development Status

Steamworks Manager is currently in active development.

We're working on:

• Custom editor tooling

• Setup wizards

• Runtime UI prefabs

• Documentation

• Demo projects

• Asset Store packaging

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing development updates, screenshots, and feature previews as we move toward release.

Looking Ahead

As indie developers ourselves, we build tools to solve problems we've experienced firsthand. Steamworks Manager is designed to make Steam integration faster, cleaner, and more accessible for Unity developers of all experience levels.

If you're planning to release a game on Steam, we'd love to hear which Steam features have been the most challenging for your project.
