Talo Unity package: self-hostable game dev tools

Talo is the easiest way to add leaderboards, player authentication, peer-to-peer multiplayer and more to your game. Using the Talo Dashboard, you can visualise and analyse your game data to make data-driven decisions.

Project structure

You can find the code, samples and tests in the Assets/Talo Game Services/Talo folder.

Submodules

This project uses git submodules to manage dependencies (Unity's dependency management is a nightmare).

You'll need to init the submodules after cloning: git submodule update --init.
