Hello there.
I am starting on a turn-based multiplayer game, on mobile, using Play Fab and Photon.
From my previous game I learned a few things...
1) People love cross-platform multiplayer (iOS vs. Android)
2) A few vocal people really, really hate Facebook
3) People love Game Center
With this in mind, the first objective for my new game is to create a robust friend system that can merge various platforms. To elaborate...
1) Player creates account using PlayFab
2) Player can link Facebook and/or Game Center / Google Play account
3) Friends from each system will appear in the PlayFab friends list
I read a number of ways to authenticate and link accounts, but info is conflicting - sometimes the docs say that you can only link Facebook and Steam, sometimes they say you can link Game Center, sometimes they say you should never authenticate with Game Center... I am really baffled.
Does anyone have any experience linking friend lists across systems?
I would love to get a few tips!
Thanks in advance,
Dan
