I am trying to create a game, and i have the networking all worked out. The thing i want to add is User credentials, and progress saving. How do I go about that, because I do not have a server, ( or the funds to buy hosting) . I am thinking of a way to use an FTP site, like sta.sh or dropbox or something that is free and easy to interface to. Thanks
I’m doing a project with the Photon cloud, and I’ve found that calling an API that I host myself as a great solution. The API I made is just a mongodb (though you could go with any db you felt comfortable with) backed with Microsoft’s new WebAPI projects, part of MVC 4. From the game side, I’m just making HTTP requests. Works beautifully for checking login credentials and storing saved characters.
