Hi guys,
we’re excited to reconnect with you all here on Lemmy after our project “Crackpipe” generated quite a buzz on reddit. With its brand new name, we proudly present “GameVault”!
In case you missed our, let’s say - “controversial” debut on reddit, let us give you a quick rundown of what GameVault is all about:
GameVault is a fantastic gaming platform that you can host yourself, allowing you and your friends to enjoy “alternatively obtained” games on your own terms. It simplifies the whole gaming experience by organizing, downloading, installing, playing, and tracking your favorite games right on your file server. GameVault automatically detects game files, builds a metadata database, and offers a user-friendly client for seamless downloading and gameplay. Imagine having your own personalized Steam for games stored on your file server!
Linux users, please note that we don’t currently have a native client available. However, our documentation includes a community-driven approach to running the client on Linux, which you can find under “Advanced Usage.”
Are you ready to add another Link to your Dashboards?

What is the current situation on the client side of things? Is this Windows only for now? This would be cool with some MacOS and iOS support (with a Backbone controller).
Anything else than windows is not in our plans right now as we currently lack the expertise and manpower to handle multiple platforms. However, we’re actively encouraging the community to create a third-party solution.
