Working with steam game recorder (by creating events)

Meta

I have turned on the steam game recorder on all my games so i can share clips with friends with something funny happens. Turns out the recorder puts a marker in the timeline whenever you get an achievement, and reading the website it mentions that games can place their own pins on the recorder timeline.

I think it would be cool if the game added pins to the steam recorder whenever we evolve our creatures, or otherwise hit a milestone that is not quite worthy of an achievement but is interesting nonetheless.

I don’t see why we couldn’t do this. It would just take some programming effort to hook into the right Steam APIs.

And maybe updating the used steamworks SDK version, it should be the case that the wrapper library we use is now compatible with newer versions:

I guess it would be a good benefit to buying the game on steam, though the question still remains if it’ll be worth the effort…
