Steam "API" & "SDK": What do I HAVE to do?

[Zack]

I am planning to release my game Monster Garden on Steam next year. I've found plugins for implementing Steam Achievements, and that's all fine and dandy, but is there anything I actually HAVE to do in terms of API/SDK just to be able to release my game on Steam? I can't figure this out from any of the threads.

I do plan on implementing Steam achievements, but I just can't wrap my head around how this process relates to whatever else I need to do to release on Steam.

Maybe I should add that I am not really sure what API or SDK even means. Is this all just to allow extra Steam features in your game?

Thanks for any help.

Well, this video basically answered all my questions:

It's better than the video offered by Steam, too!

But now I'm trying to figure out if RPG Maker MV games are can be run on 32-bit systems or only 64-bit.
