Google has this week rolled out a new update for its Google Play Game service that brings with it enhancements for real-time multiplayer cross-platform support.
The latest update to the Play Games Service brings with it support for Real-time Multiplayer gaming (RTMP) in the C++ SDK to feature parity with the Play services SDK on Android and the Play Games iOS SDK.
Other new features in the latest update include a Material Design refresh across Android, cross-platform C++, and iOS SDKs and new quests features and completion statistics, Google explains a little more :
“Game developers, we’ve updated some of our popular developer tools to give you a consistent set of game services across platforms, a refreshed UI based on material design, and new tools to give you better visibility into what users are doing in your games.
We’ve simplified quests implementations by providing out-of-the-box toasts for “quest accepted” and “quest completed” events. You can invoke these toasts from your game with just a single call, on any platform. This removes the need to create your own custom toasts, though you are still free to do so.
To make it easier to build cross-platform games, we’ve addedReal-Time Multiplayer (RTMP) to the latest Google Play Games C++ SDK. The addition of RTMP brings the C++ SDK to feature parity with the Play services SDK on Android and the Play Games iOS SDK.”
