I want to add Steam achievement integration to my game. How do I do this?

edit:
Am I right in thinking that this is not yet possible right now? I do know where to get the Steamworks SDK but I was wondering if there was an easier way to implement it into a Godot game for someone with not a very advanced knowledge of C++

You need to create a custom C++ module to integrate the SDK. Check http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/reference/custom_modules_in_c++.html.

Will it be added natively to Godot at some point? I don't trust my C++ skills at all.

It won't be added to Godot, because it relies on third-party proprietary software. You may find modules done by the community, such as https://github.com/Mavhod/GodotSteam (though this seems just a stub, but at least might be a good start).

Edit: Found a fork of it that is more involved: https://github.com/Kermer/GodotSteam

Just now saw this comment and yes, I would go with Kermer's! It has more features and is pretty easy to use.

  1. need to integrate the steam sdk into godot engine. https://partner.steamgames.com
  2. looking how to implement the archivements https://partner.steamgames.com/documentation/ugs

Hopefully this will be made easier with C modules

I have updated my question above, sorry for the confusion. I know where the Steamworks SDK is. I just don't know how to integrate it and have it be easily usable with Godot.

As of 2021, the repositories in the other answers look abandoned. This library seems maintained and robust: https://github.com/Gramps/GodotSteam
