What it is
Waypoint is where our games, updates and game nights will live. This first build is the foundation: a home screen, a library, an events page and this changelog.
HearthWild, our first game, does not have a playable build yet. When it does, you will install and launch it from the library.
Updates take care of themselves
Waypoint checks for a new version when it opens and every few hours after that. When one is ready, a banner offers to update and restart. Every update is signed, and the launcher refuses anything that does not carry our signature.
Technical notes
- Windows only for now. The installer does not need administrator rights.
- Updates are verified against the launcher's signing key before they install. A tampered file is rejected and the current version keeps working.
- New versions are staged first and published by hand, so nothing reaches you by accident.
