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.

I'm looking into a game manager and the other project I've seen that looks this polished is RomM. What are the differences between this and RomM?

Edit: GameVault is a Windows/MS Store app...... Guess that makes the choice easy for me

RomM is just a viewer.
