Leaderboards
TL;DR
Talo's leaderboards are highly-customisable and secure. You can hide suspicious entries directly from the dashboard and sync with Steamworks.
Highly-customisable
Talo aims to work across many different game genres and as such our leaderboards are highly-customisable. Leaderboards can be sorted by descending or ascending order. You can also customise whether players can only have one or multiple entries in a single leaderboard.
As part of our Godot plugin and Unity package, we've included an example leaderboard that fetches, creates and displays entries.
Leaderboard management
Sometimes a suspiciously good leaderboard entry may slip through the cracks. Talo keeps you in control by allowing you to hide these entries directly from the dashboard, preventing them from showing to other players.

Extra flexibility with props
Leaderboards can be further customised by passing through additional properties. For example, you might want to display a player's level next to their score. By passing through a "level" property with the leaderboard entry, you can display this information on the leaderboard.
These properties can be used to filter leaderboards, allowing you to show only players who have reached a certain level or have a specific item.
Leaderboard entry props are also displayed in the Talo dashboard, allowing you to easily see which properties are being passed through and how they're being used.
Check out the demo in our Godot plugin and Unity package that shows how to create leaderboard entries with a "team" prop and how to filter the leaderboard by this property.
Sync with Steamworks
By enabling our Steamworks integration, your Talo leaderboards will be kept in sync with their Steamworks counterparts. We'll create leaderboards and keep player leaderboard entries synced against their Steam profile.
When you hide an entry, we'll delete it from Steamworks and restore it if you choose to unhide it.
This integration can be enabled at any time. If you already have Steamworks leaderboards set up, Talo can pull in your leaderboards and entries automatically and create their counterparts inside the dashboard.
