Hi,
no worries at all
it's also good sometimes to just express yourself. I know you mean well.
regarding supporting third party, this only can be done succesfully if both party agrees and are actively seeking long term partnership support, this is true with many assets already, like photon and other publishers, we are regularly in contact so that we maintain a proper support.
for online database, I have this issue on my radar since day one, and there are no ideal way out unfortunatly. We can't support once solution over another as they are clearly in competition and there are no real #1 we can rely on, I made the mistake to believe in Parse when it came out and it was looking good until Facebook killed it. So now I am advocating self hosting data systems and from my experience it's far more sound as a business solution and far more safe...
that's why I put so much effort in ArrayMaker and DataMaker ( xml and json), I use them in private project for high profile clients and they work. I connect to anything I want really, because all these saas eventually output xml or json, for example I use googlesheet a lot for simple data and datamaker works wonder with this, I even release the tool I use on this projects on the ecosystem as a sample.
loadsave: go for easysave, it has playmaker support built in. There are other solutions as well. I don't think we should temper with that right now.
DataBases: too much solutions to stick to one safely, it's better to write a rest api for your needs and use datamaker as a go between using json or xml for data. you also have mysql assets on the store which support playmaker should you want full access to a database
Social integration: total mess! you need to be 100% dedicated on this to provide a good cross platform social integration system. again I totally recommend using an asset that does just that and provides playmaker support.
Login: same thing too many options, no clear #1...
MVC: I agree, and I tend to think along that when I build stuff, It works well with PlayMaker, but you need a strong convention system to enforce in your project for this to work, else it's messay very quickly. I made few samples on the ecosystem following MVC approach as much as possible. It's not for beginners, but if you are ready to go next level on development, it's worth knowing about this kind of organisation technic.
tutorials are welcome!!!
Bye,
Jean
