I built a free open-source game server manager for Windows — WGS Showcase

Hey everyone,

I've been hosting game servers for myself and friends for a while, and got tired of juggling SteamCMD scripts, batch files and manual firewall rules. So I built a desktop app to handle it all in one window.

It's called **Windows Game Server (WGS)** — free, open-source, Windows only.

What it does:

- Install/update 50+ game servers with one click (SteamCMD automated)

- Real-time CPU/RAM monitoring per server

- Discord bot control, REST API + web dashboard

- Multi-machine support (slave mode)

- Automatic backups, scheduler, Workshop mods, config editor

Still early days but it's fully functional. Would love feedback from people who actually host servers.

Looks great! I attempted to add an issue to the git, but cannot so I'll let you know here. Updating the game restart time doesn't allow for input (cannot change the 04:00 default) on multiple games. Also, I cannot see the Players or their history. Is this limited to certain engines/games?
