I want to upload my Rpg maker vx ace games on to Steam, using STEAM DIRECT. The process that it says to do for all games is not my bread and butter (Due to me being used to GameJolts "Just upload the file" process). Can anyone please help me?

Google search wouldn't help? I found a couple of tutorials in few seconds.

I've seen that, but a further step that steam provides outdated/complicated information for is the exact process of converting the game files for upload. Is there an up to date, easy, and simple video/guide explaining the conversion process for RPG Maker VX Ace games in particular?

Considering how many VXAce games are there on Steam, I don't think so. It's also even harder due to the fact that Steam compells people to keep their mouths shut about particular details.

Do you think you could possibly comment a link to a good/easy to understand guide?

Since I don't have any experience with steam direct, I can't say which tutorials are easy to understand.

I've found some games already on steam that use RPG Maker VX Ace, I'm browsing through them in an attempt to reverse engineer it.

There's nothing to reverse engineer.

When you have a game ready to go on steam, you create it just like you were going to upload it to gamejolt. The only thing that may be different is you don't zip the game files and you would not leave the game in the exe file that is created when you select to compress game data.

So take your game, select file, compress game data. Include rpt if you need to.
When the file is made, run it and extract the contents.
All of those files are uploaded to steam into one folder
every game you see on steam made with rpgmaker will be like this. maybe not exact in all circumstances but it covers most games.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
