  • Valve Announces Steam Dev Days Conference

    In January 2014, Valve is going to hold a Steam Dev Days conference in Seattle, Washington. This two-day long conference is for videogame professionals to meet up in a "relaxed, off the record environment to share design and industry expertise."

    Entry fee is $95 per person but a couple of the hotels around the area are offering up discounts for the event.
    Steam Dev Days is a by invitation, two-day conference where video game professionals can meet in a relaxed, off the record environment to share design and industry expertise, participate in roundtable discussions, and attend lectures by industry veterans.

    Topics will include game economies, virtual reality, Linux/OpenGL, user-generated content, and more. Developers will also have the opportunity to test-drive and provide feedback on Steam OS, prototype Steam Machines, and Steam Controllers.

    A list of sessions, speakers, and more will be announced soon by Valve. As this is an off the record event for developers, members of the media will more than likely not be permitted.

    Developers can find out more on the event at the Steam Dev Days website.

      Major Steam Client Update Leaves Beta
      by Shawn Zipay
      Over a month of beta testing later, the update is ready for prime time.

      In late April, Valve pushed out a beta update for the Steam client. This update was far more extensive than mere bug fixes or tiny tweaks here and there. This update has just left beta and is out for everyone using Steam.

      First and foremost, Steam is now using a new and updated framework. A lot of this won't be visible to the end user, but it allows Valve to more easily share code between the desktop...

      Valve Announces a New Steam Machine

      They live!

      Valve once had an idea for a small form factor gaming PC that would run SteamOS and offer PC gamers a console-like experience. The studio partnered with several vendors, each coming out with their own versions of the Steam Machine. They often featured different hardware configurations but so long as they included Valve's small list of requirements, they were given the Steam Machine branding.

      The first batch of Steam Machines came out in late 2015 and cost anywhere...
