Making my first Steam Store Page

The Process

Here’s how I got my very first Steam Page up for my game Frost Loop.

Getting the SteamWorks Account

I started by setting up my SteamWorks Account.

To setup an account I needed to pay the $100 steam direct fee. This allows me to upload 1 game. I’ll need to pay this fee again if I ever want to upload another game.

I also needed to submit some Tax info.

The exact info varies depending on your buisness entity and weather or not you are based in the US. Keep in mind that this info can also take a few days (or a month in the worst case). However, because I was a US based Sole Proriotor this info only took a few days to process.

Getting the Graphical Assets

You need alot of graphical assets to setup a steampage.

Steam even lists all that you need here.

It’s a minimum of 11 images and 5 screenshots.

The Capsules

I started by looking at what other steam capsules do. Capsule References Capsule References

I eventually found out that most devs will make 1 image that is multiple layers. Then they will move those layers around and resize the image to get all the results that they need.

Through Reddit I found an artist who’s worked on Steam Capsuls before and this seemed to be his exact workflow. GiovanniFilm’s Work Capsule References Sadly I can’t afford to pay for him to work on my game’s capsule art. But if you need a Capsule Artist you can find his work here

Using this workflow I decided to work in the largest image size and move around/scale down the layers for all the others.

At first this resulted in the following sketches Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References Capsule Art Sketch: Library Hero Capsule References
