It begins!

Today we'd like to announce GodotSteam Components! A collection of components, tools, or starter-kits to speed up development with GodotSteam. The project will start with discussion and proposal before heading into planning and building.

Some areas of Steamworks that could use short-cutting / tools / kits:

• Lobby system (join, leave, host, chat)
• Networking / P2P systems (Networking, Messages, Sockets)
• Achievements / Statistics
• Inputs
  • Perhaps each controller that is plugged in becomes a self-contained object that can be assigned to any player on the fly. Checks for signals from Steam.
• Leaderboards
• Workshop / UGC
  • The older UGC Uploader program can be pulled into this component.
• Game Uploader / VDF Editor
  • An in-editor tool for working with VDF files and uploading game content to Steam itself.

Not sure if creating a custom node for some of these or just scene / GDscript combos that are available as plug-ins. Each may have their best case solution.

In the case of plug-ins, they'd sit in the same hierarchy as the main plug-ins: addons/godotsteam/components/

Any feedback on other needed components or methods of providing them.

Hey, your Discord link in the README appears to have expired. Do you have a permanent invite link?

[Gramps]

Uh-oh. That should have been a permanent link. I will update it. Thank you!
