Thinking about Riftbound TCG Integration

[Monky Games]

Riftbound is Riot Games latest TCG. Riot Game recently published their digital tools policy to officially create 3rd party APPs.

Points relevent to BGA:

1. App must NOT have skill-based match making or player-facing rank
2. App must use official riftbound assets (via Riot's API)
3. App must allow Riot RSO (Single Sign-on)

Point 1
I have read in the faq that games can disable Arena and also turn off player-facing ranking. Would that be possible for this APP?

Point 2
Would the programming environment allow for images to be loaded using Riot's API.

Example of using Riot's API

Code: Select all

API_KEY='YOUR API KEY'
ENDPOINT='lol/platform/v3/champion-rotations'
URL="${BASE_URL}/${endpoint}?api_key=${API_KEY}"
curl $URL

OUTPUT (JSON)
{"freeChampionIds":[2,4,9,13,14,28,30,34,43,56,81,98,110,111,203,235,429,526,799,910],"freeChampionIdsForNewPlayers":[17,18,33,37,51,54,80,82,89,91,112,113,115,131,134,145,222,254,350,875],"maxNewPlayerLevel":0}

The default developer account does not have authentication to the riftbound api - need to apply for that but we can see there is a field from the general contents that includes a string (which I believe will be a URL to get the image file (image format is unknown)

Code: Select all

CardArtDTO
thumbnailURL
fullURL
artist

Point 3
I see there are multiple ways to login to board game arena. Is it possible to add Riot's Single Signon for just this APP or would it need to be a site wide integration? If it is a site wide integration, is that possible?

Although I believe the 3 points you brought could be sorted out, Riftbound on BGA would 100% require a special license and direct contact between Riot and BGA, what is unlikely. More than that, Riot says:

Please note that we are not looking to approve Apps that enable automated rules enforcement for Riftbound gameplay at this time
