Games made using 001 Game Creator and published on Steam are seamlessly compatible with the Steam Deck as long as the Proton compatibility layer is enabled.
Steam Deck Compatibility

Troubleshooting
Game doesn’t open when launched through Steam
The typical cause of the game not launching is a faulty Steamworks Install Script. You must ensure Redist001.exe is ran, and if prompted to, restart your computer. You also need to ensure the compatibility layer is enabled in your global Steam settings or Steam game properties.
There’s an issue that only happens on the Steam Deck and not elsewhere
Please submit a bug report of the issue through the software with a project that shows the issue. As the Steam Deck uses an emulation layer to run games we can’t guarantee 1:1 support however we would be happy to investigate any issues that come up.
