Valve Unveils Steamworks
January 29, 2008: Valve has released Steamworks, a complete suite of publishing and development tools â ranging from copy protection to social networking services to server browsing. Steamworks is available free of charge, and will allow developers complete control over many aspects of production and post-production of their games.
âDevelopers and publishers are spending more and more time and money cobbling together all the tools and backend systems needed to build and launch a successful title in todayâs market (...)
