Hey folks,

Thank you, everyone, for the feedback and the huge desire for a User Interface overhaul for GameVault on our Discord Poll.

In case you’re wondering what GameVault is, it’s like having your own video gaming platform for games on your server – think Plex, but for video games. If you are a self-hosting gamer, you most likely want to check this out.

With the brand new version 1.8, we’ve taken your feedback to heart and worked hard to give GameVault a fresh coat of paint!

I attached a before/after pic of how it used to look (left) versus now (right) so you can see the difference.

The UI underwent a complete makeover, and aside from looking pretty awesome, it is much better in terms of usability as well.

Just so you know: The first UI was kind of basic and only meant for us two developers, as we didn’t initially plan to release this project to the public.

Now that the traction is so huge and thousands of people are using this software, it would plainly feel wrong not to give it a facelift. So, every button and detail has been thoughtfully placed to make things way more user-friendly.

If you weren’t a fan of the old UI, now’s the time to swing by and check out the changes.

If you also want to steer the future development of GameVault, make sure to join our Discord Server.

Slightly weird choice to post that in official project site when FAQ mentions piracy is not endorsed :)

Last time I checked renaming an empty text file to “Assassin’s Creed 2.zip” was legal in my jurisdiction but I now must fear a C&D Letter from Ubisoft it seems lmao.

I would call it more like false advertising. Showing a screen that in theory is not possible unless you pirate or just make mockups.

Dear god, i fucking hate smart-asses like you. I bet OP could use gay porn in those thumbnails too to satisfy you aswell, but maybe images of popular games fit better right?

It’s not “false advertising”, idiot.

Because OP does not sell those goddamn games and only wanted to show off his UI capabilities. In fact it looks like he doesn’t even fucking sell anything, so what the hell should he advertise for?

Looks like OP’s been passionately working on this project for his own purposes since almost two years, shared it for good will and probably doesn’t give a singular fuck about you using it or not. Just take it or leave it.

The entitlement of some people…
