I know there is a similar topic about this subject but I’ll explain my case.
I have an ongoing project on an advanced state (but not yet released) relying on Coronium Cloud(not LS).
It currently suits all my needs and it is working well. I do basically user management and match data storage. But now I’m concerned with long term because I don’t know what’s going to happen to the tool. It’s not officially suported and the creator Chris announced recently he is out.
Did I lost my time? Is it intelligent to launch a new game relying in Coronium?
The only person who can answer this question reliably is Develephant. I’d suggest contacting him through his website or via twitter.
I haven’t used neither Coronium nor PlayFab so I don’t exactly know what they are capable of but as someone mentioned in the other thread PlayFab can be an alternative. You can take a look at their Corona library here -> https://github.com/PlayFab/LuaSdk/tree/master/Corona

Im tring to reach Develephant but I can’t send a message through Twitter and I didn’t found any email adress as well. His website redirects to his twitter account.
PlayFab is a good surprise. I’ll be keeping an eye. I still have faith in Coronium, though, because my app is already playable. I wanna know if I’ll release something that’s going to die in two years
thanks
You can probably mention him with ‘@’ so he could get to you but it doesn’t seem like he is going to keep working on Coronium or Corona Cloud.
The good thing about Coronium is that it’s on your own servers and you can access the code to make changes yourself. I had to do that for a couple small issues I had. I know it’s not ideal to rely on unsupported software but if you already have everything working the way you like it there shouldn’t be much need to update. I still plan on using my Coronium instance to validate IAP receipts and send config data on app startup.
For more robust uses like player authentication and game data syncing I’ll probably move to PlayFab.
