Uploading game to Steam

[Jleger91]

I'm setting up a Steamworks account to distribute the finished game; what do I upload? Do I only upload the "Compiled" folder that contains the .exe and related files or do I need to include other stuff?

This is not really related to Steam, but distributing your game anywhere.

The Compiled folder contains multiple subfolders, each for one platform: Windows, Linux, Android etc.
The Compiled/Data folder contains raw game data in case you need that for some reasons. Usually this may be used if you are preparing a game version for the platform which is not supported by AGS Editor directly, such as Mac OS or iOS.

So if you prepare a build for Windows, then take only files from Compiled/Windows,
if you prepare a build for Linux, then take only files from Compiled/Linux,
and so on.

This is all explained in the manual:

Thank you Crimson; I gave you credit in the game's Credits for your help.
So all I need is the "Windows" folder and I can even move that folder elsewhere and rename it.
One other question I have is "will my save data be distributed to other peoples computer"? I don't want my save data on other people's computer.

Of course not, saved games are stored in user documents:
