Highlights for Version 1.0.159

  • The Shared Storage feature is now live!
    • With this feature, creators will be able to store player data across their games
    • As a simple example, this allows players to get loot in one game and have that loot carry over to another game by that same creator. We are excited to see all the creative uses that you find for it!
    • Please check out the documentation for full details.

This is quite cool! The cross game persistence is going to be a game changer!

The leaderboards all have a color on the icon next to them that indicates if they are new, edited, deleted, or no change from the published version. Previously, those colors wouldn't update after a publish. If you had 3 new leaderboards and published, they would still show up as new if the tab was open during publish.

Now, all the icon colors and corresponding tooltips should all change to the "no changes since publish" state after a successful publish.

It's great being able to see the character now. I'm going to play with cross-game persistence. I hope it doesn't Have to be attached to a specific player. Even if so, this will be a nice upgrade.

So what is the "NetReference sharedStorageKey" that is required for Storage.SetSharedPlayerData()?
