Suggestion for Fans

Published on Wednesday, January 28, 2015 By Propbuddha In

Hello,

Something to consider to help foster a multiplayer community.

When a game is finished, post a small XML/JSON file somewhere (on a web/RSS feed, or just drop on the user's directory, whatever) that has game information so that fans can integrate with their own sites/leagues etc. (unless you guys are doing that yourself).

The feed/file should minimally contain the following info:

Game GUID
Steam IDs of Human Players and whether or not they completed the game
Game settings including handicaps
What type of colony each player used
When the player was bought, for how much and by whom
The winner
Scores and stats

World in Conflict used to (and still does - http://www.massgate.net/, here's an example of their feed) do this and it was great for player-created leagues, stats sites etc.
