What is Nexora?

Nexora is a lightweight, modern Windows game launcher built with:

  • C# / .NET 8
  • WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation)
  • MVVM architecture
  • JSON-based game database
  • User-level installer + portable mode

This prototype demonstrates the UI/UX, architecture, and installer system before full integrations (Steam, Epic, GitHub) are added.


What Works Right Now

  • Clean, modern WPF UI
  • MVVM structure (Models, ViewModels, Services)
  • Add custom games manually
  • JSON game storage
  • Self-contained .NET 8 EXE
  • Installer + portable mode
  • Website + updater foundation

What’s Not Implemented Yet

  • Steam library scanning
  • Epic Games integration
  • Cloud sync
  • Game metadata fetching
  • Auto-tagging
  • Background services

This build is not a full launcher — it’s a visual + architectural preview.
