Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is the SDK compatible with networking solutions other than Photon?Absolutely! Whether you’re using Photon, or another popular networking solution like Unity Networking, Mirror, or even a custom-built networking system, TournamentSDK can seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure. Our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive tournament solution that enhances your game’s competitive experience, regardless of the networking solution you choose.
-
How long does the integration usually take?
In general, studios are often able to host their first testing tournament using our template UI within one day.
Once you have successfully implemented the basic functionality, the next step is to customize the UI to align with your game’s aesthetics and branding. Additionally, you may choose to connect your in-game economy and stats to the tournament system to provide a more immersive and integrated experience for your players.
The time required for these additional customizations and integrations will depend on the scope and complexity of your game. However, our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive support throughout the integration journey, including technical assistance, product planning, and UI consultancy. We are here to ensure a smooth and efficient integration process, helping you to create the best tournament experience tailored to your game.
-
Can you help us with the integration?Yes, we are here to help you during your whole tournament journey. Apart from technical support from our integration specialists we are more than happy to share with you the best practises on game economy and UX to maximize the benefit of tournament integration.
-
What if my player base increases?If your game’s player base increases, our services will automatically scale up to accommodate the higher number of players.
-
How many tournaments can I run?Based on your current plan there is a limit of tournaments you can run. However, for enterprise clients, the limit is tailored to your player base size, so you can host tournaments for any number of players.
-
Will my players know I am using your SDK?No, your players will not be aware that you are using our TournamentSDK.
