I’m starting to develop a game in unity, for now I’m using the Free License but I have a loot of doubts, and one is:
It is easy to upload a game to Steam?
and the second question
How will Unity know how much I earned with the steam sales? I’m not very clear about How they know and what I need to do to have Unity updated with the sales and that stuff.
This is not stopping me with the develop but it’s killing me inside because I’m not sure if what I’m doing will be ok or I will need to re-code some parts of the game.
Thanks in advance and if there is a thread with this question I didn’t find it
Steam requires you to go through the greenlight process. It’s basically a popularity contest. You have to persuade Steam that your game will generate enough sales to be worth putting on the store.
As to Unity tracking sales, they don’t explicitly. Unity does track general usage stats, but that’s it. Keeping track of sales and upgrading your lisence as needed is your responsibility.
