Overview
Part of a larger work, this guide focuses on one path we have followed and felt like sharing with the Community. This serves as our guide through the Valve pipeline. It will work for those new to how Steam works and also serve well those looking for a strategic way to start a developer team on a budget.

It does not need to be a text file. Any file type is supported (binary, images, etc…).
You can save multiple files, Steam items are folders (not single files).

Purpose
This is part of a larger work – and end to end beginner to expert guide to steam. Read more about the larger works intended audience (everyone) here. [lnk]
[lnk] will talk about the person and their entertainment, family, in house dev team, marketing, business 2 business, new way of thinking about entertainment, edutainment and edutech.
If you haven’t already done so, at some point you will get around to putting money in your steam wallet. This guide presents one way to navigate your steam journey. It is fun to think of it as going through the pipe, turning on the valve and all that plays well and we will walk through creating the graphics for this very guide using this path.
I will try to keep it to just two options, a road less traveled but more complete path and then a straight down the pipe path. The road less travel path will have [optional] next to it.
Complete Picture
We get it, even if you have been around valve for a long time. It is sometimes hard to get why they are doing what they are doing. In fact, we paid our first App Fee a long time ago – got too frustrated because there was no one stop secret shop as it were to just learn everything. It was all scattered and we will leave plenty of that in good taste to still discover yourself, like in the previous sentence I dropped a little something something for you. But we did get so frustrated that we admittedly left the whole thing and explored other platforms, became partners there too and then came back happily after seeing clearly the full lens that valve is looking through. And now we have decided to only do valve for a while and then a little later only do Unity + Valve. Then in many months you will see other stuff like Google matchmaking, UWP + OpenShift gaming, Lumberyards and esports but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
Anyways enough talk here is a grid:
There and back again, a good way to go.
