Next Step Microgrant: 3D puzzle game (LOSSST) about devgrants HOT 11 CLOSED

Thank you for this application. Since the prototype isn’t built yet, can you add an additional paragraph with more details on your software architecture? Please include in that paragraph details on your IPFS pinning service. If you have not yet picked a pinning service, we are happy to discuss this with you.

@SeedingTrees Hi, thank you for your message!
I'd like to implement many decentralized features around my game indeed,
but I'm a beginner in this domain and I'm not exactly sure how to: store files, save people's high scores and perform FIL transactions.
If I understood correctly, all these features require an IPFS pinning service.
During the game jam, last september, I hosted a IPFS node on my own PC to store files.
For the next steps, I'd like your help/advice to pick a "real" pinning service. is there a list of such services? :)

Thanks, xem. Our dev support team hosts office hours every Thursday to answer questions just like this. We host two different office hours to support folks working in different time zones. You can find the links below to the Gather Town office hours events. Please let me know if you have any issues using these links.

Every Thursday at 9am ET
Every Thursday at 1pm ET

Great, thank you! I'll be there at 1PM ET next Thursday

Sounds great, Xem. FYI - I just received a cancelation for at least one of the calls this week. I think it is because Thursday is a holiday in the U.S. You may want to plan to dial in next week rather than this week.

Sure, I'll be there thursday 18th then. Thanks!

Hi, Xem. Hopefully, the office hours meeting was helpful. Please update us here after you make progress on the pinning service. We can revisit your microgrant application then.

@xem, I hope you are doing well! Do you have new progress updates available?

Hi @ErinOCon , I'm sorry, I haven't had the chance / time to learn how use a pinning service.
I kinda hoped that the microgrant, if I earned one, would give me the means to get started.

Hi @xem, We have approved this grant! Look out for an email to submit payment details. In regards to a pinning service, we would recommend checking out Piñata.

Hello @ErinOCon, thank you for your message, I'm checking out Piñata!
I received my grant today, thank you very much (you and the people who made it possible) !
What's the best way to keep you posted about my ongoing implementation of the FIL protocol inside my game? Is Twitter OK, or should I post it on Github, Discord or by mail?
Thanks,
Maxime
