Photon
#1

Hey there,

I have my game up, and left with multiplayer elements to add in for my realtime match 4v4 mobile game.

Basically, Photon Realtime + database mysql.

What else am I missing to make it work as a multiplayer realtime mobile game -

Is it a web server that is missing , service like AWS ? or what is the best option to work with photon realtime and mysql database.

Regards,
Zavier

Hi Zavier,

You can use either Photon Cloud or your own Photon server. The first is much more simpler. The latter is more flexible and can be your choice depending on how you integrate sql with Photon and whether you run your own server with sql or use 3rd party services.

Note that Turnbased Photon Cloud applications have support for 3rd party services which can be enough in most cases: http://doc.exitgames.com/en/turnbased/current/getting-started/turnbased-intro

Thanks for the answer. 

So if i need to implement chat as well, I will need Photon Realtime (for my multiplayer matches) , and photon chat for the chatsystem ?

Yes. Realtime and Chat are different APIs and 2 different application ids which have nothing common in cloud.
