hi all,
so I'm developing an app which is a sort of a turn based game where people dont compete directly but they complete quests, gain points and move up on a leadership board. Everyone can create such a board and add friends to it.
I have the game in place but now I am moving towards the multi player side of it.
Now I see two ways on how to achieve that. I can use the usual google/facebook login and manually implement the system of adding friends (people who you will meet online). Or I can leverage the google player service API. The first way, I know how it works and I can use it. But if I use the google games api, will it make my job easier? I know they have an option of adding people to circles. But can I use their api to add friends only for this app and not in "circle" which essentially means they become your friend on google+.
If anyone has any info on this can share it? I'm really lost on what to do.
