Before Playtomic closed we had an initiative to open source parts of the backend as a set of tools for game developers to use but the resources weren't there to finish the project.

Now it's ready.  Fully open sourced leaderboards, user levels, gamevars and geoip that you may or may not know from the old days, as a self-hosted and MIT-licensed package with (current) compatibility for AS3, Unity3d and HTML5 games.

In the old days we pioneered level metrics that allowed an army of developers to spot problems with keeping players interested, with difficulty balancing, achievements and performance.  We did that via three different types of level metrics for counting, tracking values, and tracking averages.

Now we're doing something much more exciting.  The first thing we did was consolidate those three types of metrics into a single, less confusing to use metric:

lvlboost.levelMetric(name, level, optional value, optional x, optional y, optional z);

This more versatile model allows us to do a whole bunch of cool stuff in the reports including:

counting the total occurrences, the first time for each player, and the first time for each session.

average and median values being sent, like score or time or deaths or kills

the distribution of those values

mapping everything to coordinates

The end result is pretty amazing and we're just getting started.
