Pragma Integration
In case you missed it, FirstLook was acquired by Pragma. Pragma is the leading backend engine for online games, and many FirstLook customers are collaborating with Pragma to accelerate their game development. Together, we aim to build the best tools for growing and engaging your community.
As part of this partnership, we are excited to announce our first integrations!
Pragma Account Creation
When you connect your Pragma instance to FirstLook using a Partner Token, we can now automatically create and link player accounts in your Pragma Player Database. You can select which accounts FirstLook should update in your Pragma Players.
This feature is extremely useful if you want to use Limited Access Mode to ensure that only onboarded players can access your game. Without this integration, players would need to launch the game first for their accounts to be created in Pragma. Now, their identity already exists in Pragma, allowing them to be included in player groups created before they launch the game.
FirstLook can also automate the addition of players to your player groups, and we’re happy to assist you with this setup.
Account Creation currently requires an Engine Mod—your Pragma CSM can help you get set up.
Entitlements via Order Fulfillment
With the above integration, FirstLook recognizes who players are in Pragma. This opens up new opportunities to reward and incentivize your players. With entitlements in FirstLook, you can now automatically or manually grant in-game items or currency to players. This is accomplished through Order Fulfillment, where you can add FirstLook as an Order Provider and Mapping Spec.
Example use cases include:
- Providing content creators or testers with currency or items to bypass certain progression
- Rewarding players for being active in your community with cosmetic items
This is just the beginning of the many ways we plan to integrate FirstLook with Pragma. If you have any specific requests or feedback, please let us know!
