Hi @PJ ,

Your usage of lobbies is exactly why we added the concept of long-lived lobbies. (Admittedly it wasn't part of the original use case - which is probably why some of the documentation doesn't seem to properly reflect that usage <-- we'll review that).

So - needless to say - keep going as you are - and reach out if you hit issues!

Happy coding!

Paul.

Hi @wjurica ,

I do appreciate the perspective (for sure).

That said - 99% of entities are custom JSON - and most of our API objects have extensible JSON components. And of course - there are competing JSON libraries and approaches that devs use. Plus the complications of the capabilities of the different client+library platforms (Unity/C# vs. Unreal/C++ vs. JavaScript vs. Java, etc).

So - we've tried to have our libs take a light approach and focus on the networking + error handling + security

overall communications with the server - allowing our customers to develop their own approach for handling the JSON itself (and it is all just JSON after-all - most of the responses hardly need custom data structures).

Your feedback is heard though! brainCloud is an ever-evolving platform. Never say never!

Paul.

Hi @kinco-h - I assume (hope) you got the info you needed from our support folks?

Hint - you access chat support by clicking on the "Ask Support" button in the top right-hand corner of the Design Portal...
