Never made a GameMaker:Studio game for linux before, let alone also uploading one to Steam for Linux.
I have no idea what I need to create / upload to the SteamPipe.
Now first off, I've made a .zip folder, inside:
Game Name (file, no extension)
assets (folder)
Inside assets folder:
game.ini
game.unx
icon.png
mus_test.ogg
options.ini
splash.png (splash screen)
steam_api.dll
It also did the same on Linux, however on Linux the icon is appearing blank on the game name file with no extension, though icon.png looks fine.
On Linux it also made a TakeThyThrone.desktop file, TakeThyThrone.zip file, and TakeThyThrone_install.sh file. Typing ./TakeThyThrone_install.sh on the terminal just prints out "Done", nothing happens.
The other option is skipping the .zip and making a .deb file, but I'm not sure if that's what I should upload since that's an installer file. The .deb file unfortunately doesn't do anything (but maybe it's supposed to since this is Steam?)
What exactly do I upload to Steam? Is there some kind of command I have to do to launch this file with no extension? the _install.sh file does nothing. I think that's the case since this is Steam and you just need to include a launch command option in the Steam Developer manager on the browser. But I have no idea what command I need to use to launch the game on Steam.
EDIT:
Aside from making a .zip/.deb, I also tried debugging it straight through GMS on Linux. It launches, but the Steam overlay doesn't popup so I'm assuming it's not even getting launched through Steam.
CONTENTS of .sh file:
Once I enabled Steam on Linux I got a run.sh file and made that the executable command for the Steam launch option.

EDIT: Got it to work. Uploading requires making a new depot for Steam and also I used the .zip.
