Orbital-Grade itch.io Authentication for Godot
Protect your creations with the gravitational pull of AuthSaturn. Built exclusively for Godot 4.x, this lightweight, native GDScript tool seamlessly integrates with the itch.io desktop app to verify player ownership. No heavy external wrappers, no bloated executables—just pure, cosmic security.
✨ Stellar Features
- 100% Native Godot: Written entirely in GDScript. Keep your project clean without relying on external Python, C++, or Node.js executables.
- Zero Antivirus Friction: Because it runs natively inside your game engine, AuthSaturn avoids the false-positive virus warnings commonly triggered by bundled DRM executables.
-
Invisible Handshake: Reads the secret
ITCHIO_API_KEYinjected by the itch desktop app to verify the user silently in the background. - Plug & Play Autoload: Drop it into your Godot project as a Singleton/Autoload, set your Game ID, and you are ready for launch.
🚀 How the Orbit Works
When a player launches your game through the official itch.io app, AuthSaturn intercepts the launch environment. It securely grabs the player's session token and makes a direct, lightweight HTTP request to the itch.io servers. If your game's ID is found in their library, they are cleared for landing. If not, the airlock shuts.
