Launching Your Game

Pre-Launch Checklist

Before releasing your game, work through the following items so players get the best experience from day one.

Correct API Key

Make sure you are using the correct API Key for your build and platform before launch.

Leaderboards

Double check that you are using the correct Leaderboard IDs before submitting scores to the leaderboards in your live build.

Clear Leaderboards

Before launching your game you might also want to clear your leaderboards so that players can set new high scores.

Platform-Specific Build Notes

Some platforms and engines require extra build settings before you release your game. Follow the notes below for your target platform.

WebGL (Unity)

When building to WebGL, there are some settings which you must change in order for your game to run through WebGL.

Publisher Settings

Underneath Project Settings you will find the Player tab, which contains the Publisher Settings. Here you must set Compression Format to Gzip.

Other Settings

Underneath Project Settings you will find the Player tab, which contains the Other Settings. Find the header called Optimization and set Strip Engine Code to false.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the data sent between LootLocker and my game encrypted?

Yes, LootLocker uses HTTPS encryption for all data in transit between your game and the backend.

Can my users delete their stored data from inside the game?

Yes, the following APIs can be used to let players delete their stored data in compliance with GDPR and similar laws. Players can also be manually deleted through the LootLocker Web Console.
Using these APIs, will set the Player to be deleted in 30 days.

curl -X DELETE "https://api.lootlocker.io/game/player" \
  -H "x-session-token: your_token_here"

LootLockerSDKManager.DeletePlayer((response) => {
     if(response.statusCode == 204)
     {
        //Successfully deleted Player
     }
});

The above will return a 204 code as the server has fulfilled the request, and there is no additional data.
