Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to record a players gameplay and upload it to my API on my website for storage? This would be useful for moderation review, etc.
Any idea, or would it even be possible? Thanks!
you could use HttpService to send requests to your api but it would throttle you heavily if you were to send requests very frequently or send large amounts of data over to your api
you would also need to take the right to erasure request in consideration as when a player submits it you are required to delete all PII of them from all of your logs or datastores
But would there be a way to video record like your recording a video for a youtube channel, and send it over HTTP?
i highly doubt because of the size of the data required to do such thing, plus you as the developer cannot directly record the players POV like capturing their screen
the only game that i know, that does something similar to capturing gameplay like that is Frontlines, they have a kill cam that mimics everything from the other person’s POV up to a few seconds before they killed you, i have no idea how they pulled it off but my best guess is that theyre constantly logging certain things in the datamodel such as camera movement player positions etc then rewinding and reconstructing them back for the client to see
but even if you could somehow send this data over to your api im not really sure how you could reconstruct it
Alright, thank you for your help.
