After a recent steam update, my project now contains "steam_api.dll"

Does that mean you are moving towards integrating Steam services like achievements & DLC ?

Because that would be

SPECTACULAR!

After HTML5 support I would say Steam support is next on my list.

I believe it's automatically created by the steam client, rather than AGK2. You can disable the steam integration in teh editor which will prevent this dll file from being created.

That would be outstanding

Getting games greenlit is not that hard as it used to be.
The hard part for most people is including the Steamworks SDK without proper C knowledge, so it's technically impossible for people who are using Tier 1 only.

Example: Achievements
Steam Achievements really help your game become popular. That's why Valve always tries to persuade you to put them in your game, because
1. People just love getting achievements ALOT
2. Everybody in your friends list can see you got a new achievement, and more importantly THE GAME in which the achievement was accomplished!! Which really helps spreading the game!

Can't wait getting a Steam command set for Tier 1

L8er,
