So for the most part this is functional off on it's own branch. It looks gross as game cover images we fetch online are the wrong aspect ratio. Oddly enough there are cover images available locally that would work a lot better 🤷‍♂️

I don't know if I'll release this broken as a pre-release or if I'll fix the cover images.

The fix is to add a 'CoverImage' class which takes a IGameLibrary object as well as making a new IGame object. This would allow to load images locally as well as allow us to have our own cache of images for offline usage.

You could possibly fetch game assets from https://www.steamgriddb.com/, you can find many that match the aspect ratio of the steam vertical grids.

I had been looking at using IGDB but there are some downsides to it.

In theory the CoverImage class mentioned above could be used to allow an app setting (or even order) of where the user would want cover art from. So the user could have the option between:

• DLSS per platform implementation
• IGDB
• SteamGridDB

And at that point the user could also choose if they want game thumbnails as rectangles or squares (and thinking of it game display as grid or list). At this point more interested in getting something happening but it is interesting to see how deep that idea could go.

Issues mentioned here were resolved. We also now load images from disk if they are found rather than downloading. So we get faster loading. I hope to have this update out REAAAAL soon.

This has been added in the v0.9.12.0 preview. Closing for now, if you have any issues with GoG compatibility please file new issues.
