Oh my this is the best GPGS Cloud Save tutorial ever exist! The schematic diagrams you made is super!
Cheers ricky!
Thank you for this tutorial, it made me understand (at least more than before) of how cloud saves work. Will be waiting for JSON implementation video! Considering this video covers all basic actions, changing type of data won't be too difficult (I think so). By the way, I was searching for this tutorial for weeks, and this one is the best IMHO! Thank you, Flarvain! And I wish you more subscribers!
Glad it could help! The json part may not be my next video but ill get it done once ive had a bit of a break from gpgps. Thank you for the high praise 🙏
Thanks for the diagrams at the start, made it easier to visualise how things work.
Thanks Flarvain. It is a great tutorial for begineers like me. Hope you keep doing this. Cheers!
Thanks for making this, helped soo much 👍
No worries, glad it helped!
Subbed and a thumbs up for the Collie! Very well done videos. Look forward to the Json I've been stuck on this one for awhile.
I see ive found a fellow dog appreciator. Welcome to the channel!
Thanks! Your tutorial is really great. Now I can save my game to Google cloud. I am so excited! ^^
Nice tutorial easy to understand, Thank you very much
You're welcome, thank you for the praise!
Great tutorial series, Thank You Flarvin..... I will be waiting for JSON implementation Video
You sound younger than 29 😂 Great video, thanks Flarvain!
Haha, thanks juan :)
Subbed, awesome tutorial
Thanks prodigious, appreciate the sub 🙏 welcome to the channel :)
Nice tutorial thanks
Great Bro
Thanks for this demo and clarification. If we are saving via PlayerPrefs within Unity, is it safe to assume we won't have to have the saved games option enabled in GPGS because the data will be saved locally on the device?
Hi Clint, theyre two different saving operations, they could both be used together and have the playerprefs used in some kind of local offline mode if you wanted. But in general if you're doing something simple and dont need data to transfer across devices then player prefs is fine. The other note would be that the data you're saving in player prefs will is some of the easiest to hack and edit because its just a local file on their device.
Im doing a video on both binary saving / encryption and json data structures which are all different methods with their own advantages and disadvantages.
Best of luck and welcome to the channel!
Great!
Thanks, youve been on a bit of a binge! I love to see it, hope its all helping :)
@@Flarvain I went through all your tutorials about Google Play Game Services (0 - 4) and I understand the process thanks to your explanations and your approach! Even if the Saved Games part is not working for me, I'm really happy get how it works now. Keep the good work buddy! You really help a lot, I'm telling you! Looking forward for the new year to see all your new and updated contents. If I new your Chanelle before, I would have gladly supported you instead of wasting my money in some online courses not well explained and not updated. But it is never late as long as we survive 😂, I just started with programming and Unity this year. Thank you again for your videos buddy! I will definitely check your sections about in-app purchase, it looks fire.
u got any in-app purchase vids?
Haha. I do but i see you've already found it :)
Google play console vs firebase what is the best for save game data???
Hey there. Google play can only ever save one string of data. Firebase is a lot more complicated but has much more capabilities in saving and verifying data. Firebase can also be used for more than just mobile games.
However, GPGS is a good compromise if you dont need the complexity and also dont wish to pay for storage of data. Firebase fast becomes a paid service so it ends up depending on your implementation.
Welcome to the channel :)
Is it unlimited data that you can save or there is some limitations ? For what if 100K download app and save it has it some limitations?
Hey there, thanks for the comment. The data storage space is based on the individuals google storage account. So 100k downloaded app would all be using their own storage limits which means number of downloads wont have any impact on the ability to save :)
@@Flarvain so even if I have like thousands variables saved to google cloud won't impact ?
Btw thank you for answering ☺️
@@phantomosteam3727 No worries. Here's a link but basically you get 3MB of binary data to save per player. in terms of the majority of games that's pretty significant in the way that you're storing it. If you were needing more i'd say it's probably better to go down the route of something like firebase or another full db solution. developers.google.com/games/services/common/concepts/savedgames Hope that helps!
@@Flarvain I'm actually using Playfab but the only problem is that have a per user limitations and sometimes data is automatically deleting itself that's probably due to limitations. So i don't really know where or how indie developer store their data. :(
@@phantomosteam3727 hmm. I thought playfab would just charge over a certain amount of data not delete data. Perhaps theres some settings im unaware of. Im afraid im not able to help you much further with that though.
Feel free to join the discord and shoot some questions through there. Theres a few hundred people so im sure someone has some experience with playfab 😀
Thank you
No problem joseph!
when i wanto add another data ,, do i have to make something like this
dataToSave += words;
dataToSave += "|";
dataToSave += koin.ToString();
dataToSave += "|";
dataToSave += koin.ToString();
dataToSave += "|";
dataToSave += koin.ToString();
Having some way to delimit the data so you can tell where some data starts and ends is a good thing to do. You could also write it all to json and store that json as a string
@@Flarvain i m noobgrammer , so i can not do it my self yet ,and take so long to learn it :)
@@StickyLabDev your above strategy will work fine for saving for now then :)
@@Flarvain thanks sir
@@Flarvain could you please show how to doing that I'm trying literally for months and still can get it could you help me please I have a a lot of data saved to one Json file but I have no idea how to save this Json file to Google cloud could you help me please
Hi Thank lot!! you are so genius.
Thanks for the kind words :) glad it was helpful
@@Flarvain Hi Flarvain. I have some question. How can I delete data?
I Think I just try input 0 or " " right?
@@톰-l2o yep, you can just replace the data with any other value. Using "" is probably easiest so no data values get mixed up. Keep in mind itll error on the load without some real data so you game will need to be able to handle a failed load :)
does the file name have to be different for different users or is it local for every user?
Its local to each user. So provided you havent named it the same as another saved game they have itll just make a new one against their google account. You could safely just name it something like your company+game name to ensure its unique :)
Bro tell me please what to do, I have a problem with SavedGameRequest Status.success. Many where in the forums they write that this is an internal mistake and it will be corrected with time but has passed the week and still without results. Tell me please if you know how to solve this problem. I would be grateful for the help.
Hey there, sorry for the late reply, missed this one. Ive pinned a comment in the code help section talking about what code to write and what to check to make sure it works over on discord if you're still stuck :)
Really good video but I have a problem.. In saveGameOpen() Function (status == SavedGameRequestStatus.Success) is returning false for me.. what can be the reason? who to solve this issue? Help me plz
One more question.. You did not create any file to save data you just named it "MyFileName" so does it get created automatically by just naming?
god bless u exist
Thanks for the awesome tutorial! Liked and Subscribed :) And seriously, you are better then Brackeys!! Just one thing, your voice volume is too low. Hard to hear you.
Also, can you please do the same tutorial on iCloud save for iOS please!! 🙏🙏🙏
Also, a suggestion, you know you give a brief explanation on "don't just copy the code, but to learn it" in the intro of you videos. I think you can condense those into UA-cam Shorts (ie less than 1 minute). UA-cam Shorts can boost your views and subscribes very very very quickly. Couple thousand views on UA-cam Shorts within days is easy. So do that asap while UA-cam algro still trying to promote UA-cam Shorts to compete TikTok.
Thats an amazing idea. I might start looking at integrating that, thanks!
hi update video how to save and load saves
Hey there, im not sure what you mean. I think i cover how to save and load save files. If you need more info consider joining the discord :)
we need to know howw to save bool to da cloud
Hey there, you can save a long string of text. You could either convert everything to json and then store the data as json and convert it back or you could just have a converter method when you save and change true values to 1 and false values to 0, then you can convert back when you read your file :)
Any variation of this would effectively do the same thing. Good luck!
@@Flarvain thanks for your reply, I've implement play game service, it works when i build the apk but when iupload on play store and other people install it, it not work at all,,,,,,, also the oaut consent screen is very confusing, i can not remove the icon once I've upload it... Id prefer to delete play game service jxisndkeidjd
@@StickyLabDev it sounds like you might be building with your own sha key. Google changed to requiring users to sign with the developer consoles sha 1 if you wish to use gpgs with it. All youll need to do is set that up in your developer console the same way you set up your original sha 1 and it should be fine for others to download too :)
@@Flarvain daym
@@Flarvain ive used sh1 key by google but still doesn work ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, do i have to verify the oauth ???? and publish it ? i done it but still doesn work
wtf???? why you have only 500 subscriber
Haha. Its growing slowly :) welcome to the channel and thanks for the praise!
Outdated :(
the thing i hate is response coming with some delay and testing it is really hard because some methods are missing some things with occured delays something like TMP.text :D
if (status != SavedGameRequestStatus.Success)
{
Debug.LogError("Error opening saved game");
isSaving = false;
return;
} the status always returns "internal error", has anyone experienced this or have a solution to it for google saved games?
Did you solve this? I have the same issue and don't know how to solve it :(
