Features

✔️ Change easy Enet peer to Steam Peer

✔️ GDExtension (Easy to add your project)

✔️ No dependency with GodotSteam, but demo use GodotSteam to handle connections with lobbies (See lobbies tutorial in Godot Steam here).

GodotSteam SteamMultiplayerPeer Differences

Differences	This SteamMultiplayerPeer	GodotSteam SteamMultiplayerPeer
Lib Type	GDExtension, add on your project libs to use easy.	C++ module, you need to use the precompiled from godotsteam or compile it yourself
Steam Connection	Steam Sockets Steam Docs Steam's lowest connection level, manages a connection (It's very close to Enet, that's why I chose this approach for the plugin)	Steam Messages Steam Docs Without a connection idea, the connection is managed by the lobby, Need Steam lobbies.
TODO

Known issues

⚠️ No channel support currently
It's been concluded that it's a limitation of the socket system, I'll take it out of the plan for now. See issue (expressobits/steam-multiplayer-peer#2)
