Play Services Cloud saving help.

Hello,

It doesn't look like there much recent help on this. I've started looking into Google Play Services. I've got to the point where I can have the user/player login to their Google play account, deal with achievements and so on without any issue now.

I am really struggling with the cloud saving. I have gotten it to work but it doesn't seem like it's the best way.

 private bool isSaving = false;
     private string SAVE_NAME = "mainSaveFile";
     public Text debugText;
     [SerializeField] InputField dataToCloud;
 
     public void openSaveToCloud(bool saving)
     {
         if (Social.localUser.authenticated)
         {
             isSaving = saving;
             ((PlayGamesPlatform)Social.Active).SavedGame.OpenWithAutomaticConflictResolution(SAVE_NAME, GooglePlayGames.BasicApi.DataSource.ReadCacheOrNetwork, ConflictResolutionStrategy.UseLongestPlaytime, savedgameopen);
         }
     }
 
     private void savedgameopen(SavedGameRequestStatus status, ISavedGameMetadata meta)
     {
         if (status == SavedGameRequestStatus.Success)
         {
             if (isSaving)
             {
                 byte[] data = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(GetDataToStoreInCloud());
                 SavedGameMetadataUpdate update = new SavedGameMetadataUpdate.Builder().Build();
                 ((PlayGamesPlatform)Social.Active).SavedGame.CommitUpdate(meta, update, data, saveUpdate);
             }
             else
             {
                 ((PlayGamesPlatform)Social.Active).SavedGame.ReadBinaryData(meta, ReadDataFromCloud);
             }
         }
     }
 
     private void ReadDataFromCloud(SavedGameRequestStatus status, byte[] data)
     {
         if (status == SavedGameRequestStatus.Success)
         {
             string saveData = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(data);
             LoadDataFromCloudToGame(saveData);
         }
     }
 
     private void LoadDataFromCloudToGame(string saveData)
     {
         string[] data = saveData.Split('|');
         GetComponent<InterstitialAdExample>().ads = data[0];
     }
 
     private void saveUpdate(SavedGameRequestStatus status, ISavedGameMetadata meta)
     {
         //Debug
         debugText.text = "Successfully added data to cloud";
     }
 
     private string GetDataToStoreInCloud()
     {
         string Data = "";
         Data += "string To Save";
         Data += "|";
         return Data;
     }

It does work but it feels like it would become very messy after awhile when having to save hitpoints, NPC's positions, NPC's hitpoints, and so on.

So I think the following would start to look like

     private string GetDataToStoreInCloud()
     {
         string Data = "";
         Data += "string To Save";
         Data += "|";
         Data += "another thing to save";
         Data += "|";
         Data += "another";
         Data += "|";
         return Data;
     } 

and so on.

I would use

     string[] data = saveData.Split('|');
     dataNeeded = Data[0];

to then get the data needed.

Is this nonsense?
