Publish on Steam

• Once your game has been added to steam, you should promptly receive instructions from them, detailing how to use the steam wrapper. After the steam wrapper has been included, you should then be allowed to use the Steam API commands with Visionaire. https://www.steampowered.com/steamworks/FAQ.php

Here are the steam API commands for Visionaire (accessible via Lua script):

• getSteamAchievement
• getSteamStat
• resetSteamStats
• setSteamAchievement
• setSteamStat

Visionaire Version 4.0

• steam: The steam API update has disabled the DRM legacy support. We have updated the API. For Windows 7 users see: Change Data Execution Prevention settings

Building a game for different target platform

Export options are already included in the editor. You need to download the available platform first in case you want to build your game for a different platform (e.g. if you use the Visionaire Editor on Windows and want to export your game to Mac OS X).

Developer Platform (Visionaire Editor)

Windows

1. Download the platform target you would like to build for.
2. Copy the downloaded player into the "platform" directory of your Visionaire Editor installation.
3. Use build game in the Editor (full version only) and select the specific platform target you would like to build.

Mac

1. Download the platform target you would like to build for.
2. Right click on the Visionaire Editor application
3. Select "Show Package Contents"
4. Open the Directory Contents / Resources
5. Create a folder named: platform
6. Open the Directory "platform"
7. Drop (but do not extract) the player into the opened "platform" directory.
8. Use build game in the Editor (full version only) and select the specific platform target you would like to build.

Target Platform (Visionaire Player)

Linux

1. export your game to Linux in the Visionaire Editor (will be available in Visionaire 4.0 final)
2. Linux dependencies: openAL (libopenal1, GL)
3. linux users modify & execute the included "start" shell script

Android

There's no export option for the editor yet, the game therefore searches in a fixed path for the config.ini.
