I built a game launcher. Full disclosure I don't have much experience with C#, and I had a lot of help from AI along the way. I want to be upfront about that.
The reason I started this is that Windows just doesn't give you a real console experience, and every app that claimed to fix that was always missing something. I'm a single player guy with two kids, and what I actually wanted was simple, suspend my game, sleep the PC, go handle whatever they need, and come back to exactly where I left off. No missed cutscenes, no lost progress. PlayStation rest mode, basically, but on PC. That is a whole another world, Somehow it turned into a full game launcher.
It's not perfect. I'm committed to making it better, and I'd rather do that alongside people who want the same thing I do than keep building it alone in a corner. So today I'm releasing it for anyone who wants to try it. This started as a project just for me, but I think there's something real here if we build on it together. If you've got suggestions, I want to hear them.
One more thing. I'm a Moonlight/Sunshine user myself, so streaming was part of the design from day one, not an afterthought.
Try it, tell me what's broken, tell me what's missing. I'm here and I'm listening.
