Hi! Some time ago I made a PoC of a game backend server. It worked surprisingly well but that's it, I never fully finished it. Now I would like to build a full featured product out of it, but I need your opinion. Thanks to this form: https://forms.gle/Q9cD7dwsBLepw1498 I’ll know if it makes sense and what you would expect from a product like this. Thanks for all the comments and opinions!

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and my purpose here is to find some mobile HTML5 games to buy specifically for "Android" devices. I am looking for someone who creates mobile web HTML 5 games; either already created, or can make simple games on the fly. The HTML5 games will need to capture user information (more will be discussed via pm). As well, games will need to have default features (ex: Automatically save the player’s progress, create a users profile, leaderboards, etc...). My project will also require a portal/hub, have a frontend and backend design (UI / UX). This is another project in itself but if you have experience with this that would be an asset (or if you can help with suggestions). I've scrolled through a few threads already and I see a lot of games for "license". I'm not interested in this and am not interested in "plugins" or "free games" as they are branded and have ads in them. So hopefully there's a few of you guys that can help me out. Please send me pm's only with all your information such as portfolio and email addresses. If you have any questions I'll be happy to discuss! Thanks for your time :). ~ WorldPeace

Hi, TL;DR: I'm proposing new sub-forum, "Servers and back-end programming". I create small games (more proof of concept than games at the moment) at the evenings and often check this forum for inspiration and ideas. Before releasing any game I've decided to create universal back-end service for them. Some will say "why?" and "don't do this, it's hard", but I think I can manage (more on that later). It's already in nice shape. From time to time I see posts with questions about game back-ends and hosting. IMHO we should separate those into new sub-forum, so people will know where to ask them. It will be also simpler for guys like me to find them and help each other. Why I think that I'll manage to create nice and robust back-end and also help with same on forum? I'm sysadmin with 12 years of experience. Now I'm senior SRE at big financial institution with lots of clients and trades. Before this I worked as lead sysadmin/devops for mobile game company. I've maintained and helped develop back-ends serving quite big traffic (over 200M/req day). Now I try to use all that knowledge to create my own back-end but would be great to help also others. In current state I (and possibly other like me) often miss posts with such questions as I usually check forum every 2-3 days. I think that separate sub-forum would help. It should cover all topics related to: hosting, backend services, backend development. What do you think?

Hey everyone, I spectate these forums all of the time so this a very late intro. I'm very excited to begin making games with Phaser but since I'm new to Web Development technologies (especially the backend) I'm certainly in need of some direction. I have a few beginner questions so please excuse my rudimentary knowledge of Web Dev. Aside from learning Phaser I'm picking up Flask to develop knowledge of the backend, that also means learning template rendering. I'm struggling with Hello Phaser, and I believe it has something to do with the distinction of loading Phaser assets and loading Flask assets. The problem is I'm not sure how to use Jinja to access the Phaser api (or rather 'game.load.Image' atm)? I also tried this setup with little luck. Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I've spent the last couple days reading tons about jinja, flask, phaser, html, and even found myself looking through the pixi api, but I just don't know enough about web dev or these apis in general to pinpoint exactly what I'm looking for at this point in time. Also, can someone point me in a good direction towards quality learning material for server side programming for gamedev. Advice on how to approach the topic would be very useful! I'm focusing on Flask at the moment, but soon after I'll try my hand at Django and other Web frameworks as soon as I develop a comfort zone and a project or two. Or there more convenient routes for learning the back-end that I can take? I accept that I have tons to learn but I'm so excited for Phaser that I'm willing to learn as much as it would take to do it right! (I have some experience with Python, Js, and Java. Also GameMaker, for what it's worth)

Hi.. How should I create and integrate backend made with node.js and mysql with my phaser game. Primarily I want to incorporate leaderboard.
