Gaming Backend (leaderboard, inventory, guilds and more)

If you require a backend for your game, but don't want the hassle of building, hosting and maintaining your own server, LootLocker is a great option. You'll have achievements, leaderboards, guilds, inventory and more setup in just a few hours.

Kind of crazy that this is practically free for smaller users. I'll definitely keep this in mind for when/if I need it later. Thanks Taro!

LootLocker is genuinely one of the most legit awesome sponsors 😌

This notification popped up on my phone and I was excited before even loading the video! So useful to tackle this area

Thank you very much for this video. Exactly what I was looking for. Didn't know Loot Locker exist, but I will definitely give it a try soon.

I haven't even watched the video yet, already know it's gonna be heat

Great vid, Tarnished! I havent really seen anybody talking about this side of the work so thats very cool

I would love to see a tutorial about creating a public level editor for your time trial game, seems like a perfect fit and a really useful tutorial 😀

Thanks for the great content! Elden Ring destroyed my life too 😅

Yes! the moment you integrate any Firebase SDK in your game is the moment it stops being fun to work and iterate on. Their dependency management, build times and admin tools are so bad it almost make me feel like I'm back to working on financial/medical apps.

Please make more videos and tutorials on LootLocker. Subscribed for that.

Trust me, it is better to make your own so when something goes wrong, you know how to fix it. Third parties can change ownerships, rates, or even go out of business. I've done bare metal dedicated servers for almost 10 years now, hosting my own game (non-unity), just hoping to make something with latest graphics now.

Defintly a service to consider. Thanks for sharing Matt!
ps. I've been using playfab since last year and I must say it is rather intutive with almost every feature a game dev. may require apart from a minor inconvience of syncing delays across mirror servers i.e. old responses being recieved seconds after updating the backend. AWS is also another option we're considering mainly due to lower prices but as you mentioned, solo/indies shouldn't sweat it and use the easiest service out there as long as they don't expect to massivly scale up.

very interesting, this will help me in the future.

lootlocker seems amazing, was wondering if there is a goto solution for all projects for backend

[Rubidev]

Sometimes you forget we are Noobs and when it comes to Backend stuff sometimes you start to sound alien to me or JSON Web tokens for that matter.😅

5:07 Wait, you mean you don't own a couple 9, 999, 999-sided dice? I think that's just... a ball 😂

[electronicsnerd]

If I want to display other parameters like time spent in game along with score in the leaderboard then is it possible to do with lootlocker?

[gadgetboyplaysmc]

This is amazing! So it's like Firebase but for Games yeah?

[MarkRiverbank]

Rick Astley in the #2 spot? I guess he gave up.

[XadegamerOfficial]

Can it be used to save player's data.. json.. etc?

[tansakdevilhunter]

Can you please teach us how to add multiplayer ?
