Hi guys,

we’re excited to reconnect with you all here on Lemmy after our project “Crackpipe” generated quite a buzz recently. With its brand new name, we proudly present “GameVault”!

In case you missed our, let’s say - “controversial” debut on reddit and lemmy, 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?

    Did you think about making the heroic game launcher compatible with gamevault? I looked at it a little, it is written in typescript and if gamevault provides the webapi you can probably make gamevault appear as a library.

      Not familiar with that launcher, but we’d be happy to receive integration requests on GitHub! Even if we can’t directly support an integration, there might be a chance that a talented third-party developer could create one.
