All developers currently using Openfeint for their GameNetwork will be out of luck on December 14th. That is the date that Gree has stated unequivocally, that they will be turning off Openfeint support.
What is the plan from CoronaLabs to replace this functionality? Whatever it is, I hope it comes soon. [import]uid: 120686 topic_id: 33157 reply_id: 333157[/import]
Same here…
I started looking at Game Minion but the lack of documentation and sample programs makes going through it a bit slow. Since the deadline for OF is a couple of weeks away, I don’t think I will be able to replace it in that time. Okay just come out with an update to disable OF and then another update with its replacement… Not the best solution but due to the timing, it’s probably my only option.

So sad. This has been a long time coming and not news. Just wish that Corona had taken steps sooner so we wouldn’t all be hung out to dry. I’m just going to rip out OpenFeint from my apps and hope it doesn’t piss off too many users. [import]uid: 120686 topic_id: 33157 reply_id: 132878[/import]
@schizoid2k, drop us a line and let us know what features you are struggling to implement. We have experience with Corona, so I am sure we can guide you in the right direction.
On the documentation side, we do provide the API docs available to you and the Corona helper lib that should give you an idea of how to use our service.
The sample app is something that we are lacking and we desperately need for sure, I would also add tutorials for that. We are trying to get something out ASAP. [import]uid: 144378 topic_id: 33157 reply_id: 132896[/import]
@M-GM,
Thanks for the reply…
I downloaded the SDK from Github and didn’t see any documentation… did I miss it, or is it available somewhere else? Since my original post, I had to put this aside for a bit to finish something else, but I need to get back to removing OF from my existing app, and I am looking to integrate an OF replacement in my upcoming app.
