Server side updated. Client talks to the server just fine over the network. Client can log in with itch.io authentication and server validates against the back-end itch.io api servers just fine. The client -must- be launched from with-in the itch.io client. Or else the authentication doesn’t work.

Finished.. I think, the steam authentication check on the server side. Need to test that next coding session. Once this is completed, then I can integrate the server with the database.. oh the joy…

So… since I am distributing both itch and Steam integration into the client on both platforms, you should be able to run the game from with-in either platform’s client, and it’ll log in just fine. I should probably fix that in the deployment scripts… hmm..
