Online Leaderboard in Roboden

Hello! I decided to try to lead my Devlog here. I will tell you about Roboden updates (this game is not on Stopgame, so link to Steam).

In other sources, the information is mainly English -speaking, but here everything will be in Russian, with additional comments from the developers.

Since this is my first post, I will tell in a nutshell about the game itself. Roboden is RTS with indirect control and asymmetric gameplay. This game is my attempt to create some kind of sticking and, at least a little, an original strategic. (You can read more about the game here)

The news of today – the Game Leader Book has become available online.

Leaderboard has always been available from the game itself, but the display there is less detailed. And only a window from 10 positions is displayed there, without the possibility of scrolling:

The online leader has one additional Slotsnogamstop.co.uk killer fiche: it allows you to spy in the build that was used by the player. You just need to bring to the question mark:

Record table is one of the important aspects of the game. From the early stages of development in the game there was a flexible system of difficulty with such a calculation of glasses that could become the basis of a leadingboard.

The Leaderboard server is protected from cheaters and those who want to send themselves a conditional . When the player sends his result, the replaces of the game are sent (as well as the SID and other configuration parameters necessary for perfect playback). Repleles are a sequence of actions performed by the player.

Having received a replane, the server begins the simulation of the game. If the results of the simulation and sent data are not converged, then the data will not be added to the record table. The server requires about 1 second to drive away the simulation of 30 minutes of gameplay. During the game itself, it is not required from the player to connect to the server – it is important only to press the button to send a replai with metadanes to the server.

Since any registration would be an extra step before the comfortable sending of its result, there is no authentication in Roboden for the sender of this data. We trust the players when they tell their username. If under this nickname someone has already sent results, then they will be updated only if the result is improved. Protection of the Sending of the same Replay under different nicknames is also present.

I hope that such a loyal and reliable leadboard system will have players to send their results. 🙂

The best comments

In the meantime, I will only wave my hands and show that “the Internet remembers everything”:

I’m not sure where it is better to lead such a girl. DTF seems to be more suitable for this. Nevertheless, I decided to try and write something here. 🙂

In the zero season, by the way, this Leaderboard was mercilessly captured by my imba-stratum with couriers and over a dozen bases 🙂

If only I added the Redmainers to the build then.

Someday I will make the zero season also available for viewing. 🙂
All past seasons should be available in Readonly mode, including from the game client.
