Steam Is it fairly straightforward to publish to Steam with GM?

Want to make a 2D game and curious what this process is like. I'm guessing fairly simple?

Steam just takes the .exe. As for publishing to Steam... its not straight forward, there's a lot there. There's an encyclopedia of information for those who care to dig through it. I'd say GameJolt and itch.io are fairly simple.

Where's the encyclopedia located?

You should be able to find most of what you need here:

and in the manual for steam specific stuff:

He didn't mean a literal encyclopaedia, but the Steam documentation would be be a good place to start.

I would suggest, if this is your first game, to publish it on itch.io. It's way easier and it is free. Because as long as I know publishing on steam needs money (not sure though)...
