Hi all.
I have just released an infinite-runner on itch.io. Its in an early stage of development, so there are a lot of features yet to be implemented. And one in that list was a global leader-board. But the problem is, I am not sure if it is worth the trouble.
I am not a huge fan of networking in games. It's tedious for me. Even in one of my previous games, it took me a lot of time and work to implement. That being said, many people did use leader-board in that game. So I am confused whether of not implementing a global leader-board in the new game is worth the trouble. This is a small-scale game, quite simplistic in style and game-play. I want to know if the presence or absence of a global leader-board will make much of a difference to the players.
