Hello everyone!
I have a question about connect to google account.
I know many games have the service which is connect to google account.
I hope user can save the data by sign google account.
If user remove my game, and after someday instal again, he/she can read last data from google acoount.
Like this:
Can Gamesald do it?
Thank you.

Unfortunately GameSalad doesn't support any Google services.
@Hopscotch over at appformitive.com has the ability to offer this service but as a private service and not using Google. Maybe drop him a message to see the costing.

Thank you for answer.
That is really bad news.
Try the same technique to play my game with short code. Learn more about how can wo custimize the game character.
@gingagaming @adent42 is this still true that gamesalad doesn’t support saving game progress to their cloud servers? If not what are my options for saving my games tables? Is there a cloud platform you guys can recommend (if one exists) that will allow players to send/receive table data?
Yes this is still true unless you use a wrapped HTML5 game and implement it yourself.
For saving data you currently need to roll your own backend so you need to know how to roll your own API server.
If you are comfortable with that, here are some helper libraries:
If you're using PHP: https://github.com/gamesalad/gstable-php
If you're using JS: https://github.com/gamesalad/gstable-js

There are a few people here who have done the work, so you might want to put out a call for help to hire someone. In the meantime, I'll see about getting things together into some better documentation.
