Talo Game Services: self-hostable game backend 0.12.0 Tools 4.3 Community

Submitted by user trytalo; MIT; 2024-10-28

Talo (https://trytalo.com) is an open-source, self-hostable backend for your games with services designed to help you build games faster.

The Godot plugin provides convenient utilities and examples to get up-and-running in minutes. The Talo dashboard gives you full visibility over your game including your players and their actions.

You can currently:
- Identify and authenticate players
- Store persistent data across players
- Track events (levelling up, finding loot, etc)
- Display high scores with leaderboards
- Store and load player saves
- Load game config options and flags from the cloud
- Get feedback directly from your players
- Keep your data in-sync even when players are offline

Included samples:
- Playground: a sandbox for testing all of Talo's services
- Authentication: end to end player logins/registrations/account management
- Leaderboards: add and display leaderboard entries
- Stateful buttons: showing how to save and load game state

- Talo will now handle decryption errors more gracefully, allowing you to keep and debug old files
