⚡ About the Project

Lunexia is a modern indie game distribution platform designed to bridge the gap between independent developers and gamers. Developed as a final project for SENG 204, this platform allows users to discover new titles and manage their favorite indie games through a seamless interface.

🎮 Beyond the Platform: To demonstrate the platform's capabilities, we also developed two original games included in the library, showcasing a complete end-to-end integration of game development and distribution.
