central-auth

A reusable Go authentication toolkit that provides Argon2id password hashing, JWT creation/verification, and pluggable storage adapters (SQLite/Postgres). Designed so that services like authentication-service can be spun up quickly with secure defaults.

authentication-service

A dedicated auth microservice built on central-auth. Exposes HTTP endpoints for register, login, refresh, and password changes. Issues short-lived access tokens and rotating refresh tokens that are consumed by other subdomains (forum, player portal, launcher).

Service Watch

Service Watch is a standalone Windows utility that embeds a web dashboard and system tray app to monitor and manage Windows services. It tracks uptime, CPU/memory usage, logs events to JSONL, and auto-restarts failing services with configurable policies.

community-hub

A custom forum/discussion board for game communities. Built with SvelteKit, TypeScript, and Tailwind, it integrates with the authentication-service for user sessions and roles, and is designed to expand with features like moderation tools, rich text/BBCode, and profile customization.

player-portal

A player-facing dashboard and store interface. Uses SvelteKit and Tailwind to provide account views, character or game info, and a basis for purchasable cosmetics or bundles — all authenticated via authentication-service so it fits cleanly into the broader ecosystem.

Game Launcher (Wails)

A modern desktop launcher built with Wails (Go + web UI) for managing a private MMO client. It authenticates against authentication-service, coordinates with a patching backend, and uses file-integrity-service to verify game files before launching. The UI is styled with Tailwind and designed to feel like a polished commercial launcher.

file-integrity-service

A Go-based service/CLI that walks a directory tree, produces cryptographic hash manifests, and verifies client installs against those manifests. Intended to plug into the launcher pipeline to detect tampering, missing assets, or partial updates before starting the game.

patching-backend

Patch delivery service that provides manifest versioning, delta/full patch bundles, and authenticated access for the desktop game launcher. Integrates with file-integrity-service and authentication-service.
