Exophase Achievement Integration for Multi-Platform Progress Tracking

📋 Summary

Add optional integration that allows LaunchBox to pull achievement and progression data from Exophase, enabling unified tracking for platforms that LaunchBox cannot currently read (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, Google Play/Game Center, Epic, Ubisoft, etc.).

This would let users view cross-platform progress directly inside LaunchBox and Big Box, similar to how RetroAchievements data is currently surfaced.

🎯 Feature Overview

🔗 Profile Linking

• Add a field in LaunchBox Options for users to enter their Exophase username or profile URL.

• LaunchBox uses this to retrieve the user’s achievement stats across supported platforms.

🎮 Per-Game Exophase Mapping

• LaunchBox Games Database should support storing an Exophase game ID (like how Steam URLs are stored).

• Game Details pane shows an Exophase icon if a match exists.

• Clicking opens the game’s Exophase page in a browser.

📊 Pulling Achievement Data Into LaunchBox

If Exophase exposes an API or a supported data endpoint, LaunchBox could retrieve:

• Total achievements vs unlocked

• Completion percentage

• Last played date

• Earned achievement list (read-only)

• Multi-platform breakdown (PSN/Xbox/Steam/etc if available)

This would be display-only, not write-back.

Example UI placement:

• A new “Exophase Progress” block in Game Details

• Optional overlay badge indicating % completion

• Theme hooks for Big Box to display achievement stats

🛠 Example Use Case

A user plays Final Fantasy XV on PlayStation and Xbox over several years. LaunchBox can’t naturally access console achievement data.

With Exophase integration:

1. User opens Final Fantasy XV in LaunchBox.

2. The Game Details panel displays:

   • 62% completion

   • 37 of 59 achievements unlocked

   • Last achievement unlocked

3. They click the Exophase icon to open the full breakdown on the website.

LaunchBox becomes a true central hub for tracking multi-platform completion.

📦 Benefits

🎯 True Unified Achievement Hub

LaunchBox + RetroAchievements + Exophase = coverage of almost every major platform.

🧭 No Manual Searching

Direct 1-click access to each game’s Exophase page.

📈 Richer Game Details

Users can instantly see console and PC progress in their library.

🤝 Complements Existing Systems

Does not replace RetroAchievements — it fills the gap for platforms RA does not cover.

💡 Notes

• Initial phase can be link-only, requiring Exophase game IDs in the LaunchBox database.

• Data syncing depends on Exophase providing an accessible API or similar endpoint.

• All integration is read-only to respect Exophase and platform policies.
