A private community, software releases and a live web radar.
Deployed, invitation-only community and client services. The native game client is maintained separately.
Members of a private gaming community, customers using its client software and the staff running both.
Complexity combines an invitation-only community with the services around a separate game client. Members use forums and manage their accounts; customers also need an active entitlement to access protected client files. We built the website and backend services for that community, including release delivery, shared configurations, a browser radar and staff administration.
An invited member can use the community without automatically receiving a client licence. The account, its staff role and its product entitlement remain separate. Staff manage invitations, discussions and access changes, while protected download requests check the current account and native-session requirements.
Members keep private configuration libraries, upload existing files or build a configuration from a published template. Saved revisions preserve a history of changes. Sharing creates an expiring snapshot, optionally restricted to a recipient, and adopting a shared configuration produces an independent private copy.
A WebSocket service receives authenticated updates from a native client and supplies a browser radar view with map and floor handling. The native application must provide the game data. Match state stays in bounded memory rather than a permanent match archive, and disappears when the room ends or the service restarts.
Staff tools bring together forum moderation, account suspension, session revocation, licence changes and release publishing. Permissions determine which controls are available, with audit records for administrative actions. The platform also provides security and service-status views; the separate native client has its own implementation and release work.
Redeem an invitation, create an account and enter the member forums.
An entitled customer accesses client releases and manages configuration files; supported native sessions can publish radar updates.
Staff moderate discussions, publish releases and manage account or licence changes through the administration tools.
