Client Launcher

[Perun]

Hi, i made it yesterday (in C#), and i want to ask you, what more should i add for this launcher?

Available options for now:
-Reading news from server
-Including images to news
-Update Client + updater files
-Checking client/updater version and compare them with newest versions from website
-Play Button (launch Client)
-Animation those 3 images on the right side. (Change image every 5 seconds).

yes i know, design sux - working on that

##Language System

looking really good there well done, probably a help button and stuff like that which is common could be added or a language filter.

Not to take anything away, but it looks a lot like PXG's launcher:
However, it's still a decent design.

For now example news in file on server:

English text here
</newsOpiseng>

<newsOpisbr>02/17/2015

Stupid and maybe off-topic question; how do you prevent the client execute without the launcher?

I would change/add little things really.. like changing the 'exit' to a 'X' and maybe add a create account button. I think keeping the launcher GUI as clean as possible is the way to go.

Just need attach simple DLL to client, which prevent run your client without parametr, and make to launcher run your client with this parametr.

Can't tell from the picture, but being able to click on the images to the right as a direct link to the website might be a nice feature if it's not already. It seems pretty standard that website links are always the big flashy pictures nowadays so I think most people will try to click it anyway
