How do I use the new leaderboard.

Easy Leaderboard is a simple 3-column (position, name, score) leaderboard with a customizable appearance
  • We're planing on selling extra leaderboards, the one you get with your plan is a bonus included with your plan but you'll be able to buy more if you need them in the nearish future.

  • Tom Thanks heaps for the reply! Do you guys know the pricing per leaderboard / limits? I know it might still be early, just wondering :)

  • This is all subject to change, but for leaderboards there will not be any geo pricing (flat pricing worldwide).

    We're looking at something along the lines of:

    Pack of 10x standard leaderboards ~$10 USD p/m or $100 USD p/y

    Pack of 30x business leaderboards ~$30 USD p/m or $300 p/y

    Again, this is all subject to change but this is ballpark what we're thinking right now.

  • Tom Thanks heaps for the reply :) Looking forward to the full release!

  • Ninjadoodle the leaderboards are now for sale:

    construct.net/en/game-services

    Had to go higher price on the business ones as we're anticipating these will consume a lot more resources, but 99% of people should be fine on the standard ones.

    The full fleshed out Construct 3 plugin is still in the works and will be released in a few more weeks - so unless you're looking to integrate with the API directly would be best to wait for this to come out.

    We won't be announcing leaderboards more visibly until the plugin is complete.

  • Tom - I've started working on a game and have a couple more questions about the leaderboards.

    1. With the offical plugin, will I be able to use the leaderboard without having to install any scripts etc. on my server? Basically, will it be possible to submit and show scores inside my game just by adding actions/conditions?

    2. Will guest users be able to enter scores or will they have to signup to Construct first?

    Thanks in advance!

  • Ninjadoodle yes, no server required. This is all running off our own cloud.

    Today or early next week I'm releasing a big update that will break implementation of your own leader board (sorry for this, but it's not yet all released officially yet).

    These changes are required because we're introducing an authorisation service which allows players to sign into your game (EG with Apple, Google, Facebook, Discord etc). From this you are given a session key which you will need to post with leader board requests instead of just a player name.

    This allows us to easily add other services going forward such as cloud save. Bear with me - I'm nearly done with this and then I will update all docs and hopefully Ash will be able to get the updated plugin in the next beta.

    I'll try to remember to update this post.

  • Stuff like that is honestly a great add-on service. Although I'm not sure if I can ever utilize it (because if anything I'm bad at actually releasing my games :V)

    But still, I hope to see more in line with this. Another great one would be a service to store data, kinda like firebase.

  • Tom - This is awesome, super happy to hear this :) Thanks heaps for the update and really excited for the release!

  • Once I've pushed out all these changes, we'll have implemented authentication + leaderboards. I'll then look to add cloud save (which allows you to store data blobs in a key value store with each player, as well as global data for games which players can all load from) which should cover what you're after WackyToaster

    After this I'll look to release publicly, and from there I'll look to add other services such as achievements, maybe some sort of analytics, error reporting etc

    I'm really enjoying working on this, but it's all quite tricky!

  • I'm really enjoying working on this, but it's all quite tricky!

    Oh yeah absolutely it's tricky. I've tinkered with all that before. Adding firebase, using my own php scripts and SQL on a server etc. It's extremely tricky to get right. I even went and made my own registration/login before, did a ton of research into the security aspects and all. That was quite some years ago though.

    Cool to see more potential incoming! Global data is also very interesting.

  • Tom Achievements would be an awesome addition, as well as the cloud save! Really loving this update - thanks heaps for the hard work you are putting into Construct 3 :)
