Atomic Blastman is expected to be launched on Epic Games Store. That's why using Epic Online Services for player account management seems like the natural choice. The game now features a secure and intuitive user login interface without collecting any sensitive user information like username and password. The login process is completed using Epic Games browser pop-up.
Player data storage is implemented using PlayFab. Players can now store and draw their in-game progress, inventory, shop, and preferences from the cloud.
Login backend is fully functional.
