We are making character collection and equipment collection games.
The character has about 300 slots, and the equipment has about 300 slots.
How do we design data for a game of this structure?
If we try to deal with player data, there is too much data to update at once.
Making each slot have one key will result in too many keys in player data at a time.
Is there any way you recommend?
May I know more details about the behaviors of characters & equipment in your game? Like, do characters need to have their own inventory, data, statistics, etc.? In that case you might want to use our Character system to manage characters, described in this blog: https://blog.playfab.com/blog/get-character-playfab. Or, if the characters & equipment are simply treated as items in your game, you can use our Economy System (Inventory, Catalog, Virtual Currency, etc. ) to manage them, for more details please see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/features/commerce/economy/
Characters have the following attributes:
index,
level,
rank,
Locked,
A list of equipment that is being equipped,
Equipment has the following properties:
index,
level,
Locked,
The owner with the equipment,
Random option list,
The equipment has a random option like "Diablo", so the data is large.
All users can have up to 300 characters.
All users can have up to 300 equipment.
There is no limit on the number of characters in the player data, but I have read that it recommends about 10 characters.
Is it okay if that character has more than 300 pieces of data?
Character equipment also has more than 300 pieces of data, how should this be handled?
Doesn't it matter if there are more than 300 keys in the player data (Title)?
In your case, I'd suggest that the characters are considered as an item as well, and store the attributes in each item's custom data field, may I know the approximate size of the attributes you need to use(in bytes)?
Each character has the following structure.
Each piece of equipment has the following structure.
Each user can own about 300 characters and equipment.
Doesn't it matter if there are more than 300 keys in the player data (Title)?
