Having a leader board with your friends’ score (so as to arouse competition among your friends, which in turn make your game stick!) and sending messages to each other can help make game go viral a lot. Is there a third party service for this?
If not, would you guys ever pay to use such system?
What I’m envisioning is:
* Provide client side code (lua) for the leader board with several beautiful designs to choose from. You can just download that file into your game and start get going. You can customize it to fit your game’s design, too.
* You don’t have to setup any server to manage the leader board. Just sign up and start getting the benefits of having the leader board in your game.
* You pay depending on the number of users who play your game. Thus, low starting cost when your game is just launched and gaining traction.
* more features to come…
I had to build a leader board myself for an upcoming game. But setting up a performant server, maintaining and scaling it is a real pain in the ass. So I was wondering if people would pay for such a service if I can offer one. Also how much would you be willing to pay (e.g. would pay $x/month to support 100,000 users, etc.)?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Happy coding! [import]uid: 111327 topic_id: 33247 reply_id: 333247[/import]
