Maintain control by using custom mechanisms that are based upon your own rules to complete the joining and initiating of pending real-time matches.
"There is no way we would have been able to meet our launch date trying to roll our own servers and build this functionality ourselves, so we are very grateful to have a partner in developing World War Toons as professional and supportive as Gamesparks"
"GameSparks saved us a lot of time and provided us with great service and support. We love GameSparks and are sticking with it going forward."
"We see GameSparks as an extension to our own internal backend. It offers us rich social features that have been well developed and scale to our needs."
" No GameSparks. No Game! We succeeded in shipping WinterForts, to massive volumes of players online, all thanks to GameSparks’ invaluable product and support."
"After evaluating every potential backend service provider, we decided to go ahead with GameSparks. They support more Unity3D platforms than any other provider and their database manager, events system and test harness are extremely powerful and flexible to work with, on top of all the other great features they offer in their easy-to-integrate API."
"I’ve looked into Google App Engine, Parse, PlayFab, and now GameSparks. I’ve got to say that GameSparks is easily the best of the bunch for games. Plus, features like the Test Harness and SnapShots are a big selling point for me.”
“After researching different highly-scalable backend solutions, GameSparks was the clear winner. The platform offers everything we were looking for including an excellent suite of tools for development and testing. Flexibility, rapid iteration and stability are key to us and the team at GameSparks really understands this. Highly recommended.”
“From enabling a “preview” area of your services so you can test new features, to the number of service integrations they have out of the box, to their brilliant Cloud Code feature, the GameSparks platform is incredibly comprehensive for what you want in a game backend.”
