A powerful set of tools, systems and editor extensions to make you integration with the Steam API easier, faster, and more robust. Make the most of Steam for your game!
Steamworks is a set of tools, systems and editor extensions designed to make your integration of Valve’s Steamworks APIs with your Unity project easier, faster, and more robust. Steamworks covers every feature of Valve’s Steamworks Client API and provides you with custom editor extensions, tools and systems so you can make the most of Steam for your game.
Heathen’s Steamworks is not just a C# wrapper around the Steam APIs, its built on Steamworks.NET which is a true to form conversion of Valve’s APIs to C# thus Valve’s documentation, samples, etc. are applicable.
The value this asset adds is in the tools, extensions, documentation, and battle tested systems all designed and built with Unity and Unity developers in mind. Our Knowledge Base is more than simple API doumentation and covers tips and tricks, learning and advanced concepts. Our community of thousands of developers are all working on Heathen technology, there you can chat live with peers working on the tech you are as well as our developers.
With Heathen’s editor integrations you can configure and connect your Steam artifacts like stats, achievements and leaderboards to existing behaviours and objects with little or in many cases no code at all. Heathen takes it further with the Steamworks Inspector which is an editor tool that helps you debug your integration and visualize the internal state of the API at simulation time.
The Steamworks Inspector’s Inventory Editor gives you the tools to visually design your Steam Inventory model and then generate the Item Definition JSON needed by Valve. V2 is an extension of Steamworks.NET and the Steam APIs not a replacement so any existing Steam based code you have or find will work right alongside our tools and systems. Rather you are a seasoned veteran or new to Steam or Unity, Heathen’s Steamworks V2 can empower you to do more, faster with a grater assurance of stability and quality.
