Talo is now available on the Unity Asset Store

TL;DR

Talo is now available on the Unity Asset Store. You can find it on our Asset Store page.

What is Talo?

Talo is an open source, self-hostable collection of tools and APIs designed to make game development easier and to help you make better data-driven decisions.

From essentials like player management, stats and leaderboards to advanced APIs for game saves, event tracking and player authentication.

The Talo Unity Package is a lightweight wrapper around our REST API. It also includes handy utilities and a collection of ready-to-use samples.

Why we moved to the Asset Store

We moved to the Unity Asset Store to make it easier to publish updates to our Unity package. This change also makes it easier for developers to install our Unity package as all the dependencies come bundled with the asset package.

Most of our motivation for moving away from custom packages can be found in our blog post highlighting the problems with custom packages.

Follow the guide below to get started with Talo in your Unity game. If you're already using Talo, you can update your package by going to the Asset Store and downloading the latest version.

Setup

To get started, add Talo to your assets from the Asset Store page. Once you've loaded or created a project, go to the "My Assets" window (by navigating to Window > My Assets). Find "Talo Game Services" and download it.

Adding Talo to a Unity project using the My Assets window

We've now added the Talo package to our Unity project.

Next, if you don't already have a Resources folder, create one inside the Assets folder. This folder allows you to load assets at run-time through code. Inside this folder, right-click and select Create > Talo > Settings Asset.

Create a settings asset inside the Resources folder

If you click into this Asset, you'll find a number of configuration options. The two important ones are API url (which you can change if you're choosing to self-host Talo) and Access key which identifies your game. You'll need to create an access key through the Talo dashboard.

Generating an access key

Visit the Talo dashboard, login or create an account (and confirm your email address). Once logged in, create a new game (if you need to) and visit the Access Keys page.

Choose the scopes available to your access key (at the very least, you'll need the read:players and write:players) and create your access key. Copy your newly-generated access key into the Access key field on the Settings Asset.

Next steps

Our GitHub repository will continue to be the place to find the latest Talo updates and the Unity Asset Store will now also host the latest releases.

If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to us on Discord.
