Chat

Make the game into a shared social experience

The ultimate community tool

Feature Description

A chat feature is available, with profanity filter support. It does not have pre-moderation, so should be used with a degree of content risk.

How it works

When a game starts an area of the screen is reserved for the chat, whether it is activated or not.

If activated it offers the possibility for user to leave messages in realtime in a common chat between all the players.

As the game can see thousands of users connected, the chat comes with limitations, to save readability, not all messages might be visible to every user. The user also need to wait a short period of time between each written message.

Messages are also run against a profanity filter; any message containing profanity will not be displayed.

Q&A

Can user use emojies in the chat? Yes, the chat uses UTF-8 encoding, allowing for emojies and various languages to be used.

Can mass messaging affect the game performance? The chat service is run on separate instances in the Interaction Cloud with its own ressources. Moreover the chat service is load-tested to support hundreds of messages per seconds. When limits are reached, the service is designed to show a subset of messages rather than slow down.
