    Simple question.  Can I implement Steam Achievements or other Steamworks features in my game?

    Steamcards = Yes, since it only check if you the player is running the game and then gives him cards after a certain active time.

    Archivements = Could be possible but if I'm not wrong then steam helps you with steamwork related stuff once you are allowed to sell your product on steam.

    Wasn't "To The Moon" developed using VX Ace?  It has Achievements, which means it must be possible.  I'm wondering if anyone on the forums has successfully implemented it.

    Well even if someone did then they aren't allowed to tell how steamworks works. It's a steam rule. That's why steam helps developers to add steamworks.

    Zeriab helped set up achievements to  TtM and I think a couple other games, maybe? In any case, it's possible to do so with some work. :)

    The only thing you can't do (technical reasons, unless someone has a trick we don't know about) is make your games use the Steam Overlay. This is the gray window that appears when pressing Shift + Tab at the same time, with the web browser and chat with friends features.
