Cause i bought 2 already(facebook,admob), intergrated in my project, planning to get third one, support is pretty good they answer within a day and are very polite and detailed(unlike prime31).
The docs are good enough for the most part as well.
The only potential bad thing is they don’t do playmaker and i was thinking about trying it out, so id have to spend even more money buying plugins that do the same thing so i can use playmaker…
Yet i don’t see any of their plugins on the asset store so i feel like I’m on a lone desert island playing with outdated toys, while everyone else is using something like stan’s plugins or something…
Yeah, we have their Facebook and Flurry plugins and a couple others we bought on sale and haven’t used yet. I found their Facebook plugin in particular saves a LOT of coding because it does a lot automatically compared to Prime31. Yes, and their service is far better.
I have JUST found out about soomla, apparently the social unity plugin came out on february 19th.
I think im going to switch over to it, because compared to neatplug it’s website and docs and support section are light years ahead! and its FREE!
The crazy thing is that the general implementation is exactly the same for both neatplug and soomla! they both use actions and events for stuff so I don’t have to learn crazy new stuff.
I was just about to buy the neatplug twitter social plugin for 55 bucks but now i can just use soomla for both twitter and facebook.
Also unlike neatplug, they also got all this social reward stuff integrated into everything. I may not be planning stuff like that in my current app but in the future im sure ill need those features eventually, so this is like future proofing my workflow.
The ONLY thing that neatplug got over soomla is the automatic leaderboard builder, but id rather sacrifice that to get all the stuff soomla offers. Im sure theres gotta be a way to get that feature in soomla.
i still use neatplugs admob plugin, its nice and simple.
yea the customer service is pretty good which is why i chose them over prime31, but after checking out the soomla support http://answers.soom.la/latest
there is no contest, these guys just feel WAY more current. and they’re free and OPEN SOURCE, meaning itll probably get better faster than neatplug.
From a social perspective, i think neatplug has been outclassed.
lol after deeply looking at all the modules they got, im finding too much C# for my liking and too much coding required. I’ve always liked doing everything in UnityScript, and minimize any C# as much as i could.
For soomla, their levelup,store modules use c# and you have do C# stuff with the social plugin as well.
I’m actually considering going back to my neatplug plugin. Perhaps i was too hype for soomla earlier i admit, but man their website does look very fancy lol!
It takes away all the hassle with setting up products via code, but let’s you define them directly in an editor window. You only have to code what happens after the user bought a product. I really like the idea with SOOMLA being open-source and all that, it ensures that bug fixes happen very quickly and are mostly reported by other users too.
Mmmh well, the profile plugin only requires one line of code per network? Quick API snippet posted by one of the SOOMLA founders: here. I’m sure they can also wrap something up for you. I can’t speak for the LevelUp part though, haven’t used that personally.
i just kept getting errors when i tried to set it all up. I still needed events as well so i could toggle buttons off and on while some process is going, in order to prevent extra clicks before the facebook window would open for example.
This meant i had to do some of my own C# coding, so i just said screw it and went back to my neatplug plugin, which is funny enough almost exactly the same as the soomla one, 1 line of code type stuff, except they provide a finished C# script with events and i just need to add my own code in the right spots, and i had no errors implementing it either.
