Hello. Im new in Game Dev and new in development with Unity (Come from Windows and Web development)
Now I want to make my first game. This will simple game (but with retrieve data from API etc.)
So I have some basic questions:
How to decide if I need to make new scene or build just make a lot canvases and switch between them?
In my game I see
1 scene - Loading
2 scene - Main screen with buttons--
button - open Store
button Open leaderborad 3
button - open something like map
etc...
Now I think
I need make 2 scenes - Loading and Game scene
In Game scene make some canvases (MainState Canvas, Shop Canvas, MapCanvas, Leader board canvas etc...)
And when user clicks on button - show this canvas (its must be display like Popup)
If I want that map will grow up with more and more stop points (like in Candy Crush) - I need to set its to Assets Bundle and load new bundle ?
3) Best practices for Login/Authorization I check many sites and I see that best practices for Game Authorization today - this is Google/Apple Game service and not Facebook. Right?
If I understand not correct - Can you guys give me a links what I need to read/learn ?
Thank you guys so much.
I would recommend new scenes because its less scripting most of my games have 3
Main Menu - Has a play button that when pressed loads the loading scene
Loading - Start loading the game assets here. This can be done before main menu if you want its up to you. Maybe show a tip here or 2
Game - You know what this might have a canvas that can appear with a button to take the player back to the main menu.
For login I would recommend play services. It is annoying to setup the first time I recently self published my first app that uses them and it took me a while to understand
This is the google play services offical unity plugin (yes i know it seems sketchy coming from a github but it works) Import all of this into your project
https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity
Here is my code that authenticates the user
void PlayServicesSetup()
{
PlayGamesClientConfiguration config = new PlayGamesClientConfiguration.Builder().Build();
PlayGamesPlatform.InitializeInstance(config);
PlayGamesPlatform.Activate();
Social.localUser.Authenticate(success => {});
}
