Hello,
I am creating my first online game. Using Database Control (Free) from the asset store, my game has a working log in, registration, and password system. The main restriction of the free version is that “only one data variable is supported and it has to be a string”. Eventually I am planning on upgrading our database, but I would like to use the free version for as long as possible to save on expenses. How much functionality can be extracted from an efficiently parsed data string?
Below is a rough list of features that would need communication with the database:
- Custom colored clothing designed by the player
- Unique Facial/hair choices designed by the player
- An avatar creation system that can mix and match owned looks/clothing
- A friends list
- Keeping track of PVE content completed
-
of concurrent days logged in
- Currently worn clothing
- Current player look
- Bonus items owned
- Games won
- Games lost
- Steps taken
- Chat lines sent
Any resources / recommendations on string parsing or a more sophisticated database system would also be appreciated.
Thanks for reading
