How the Samples are Organized

The samples fall into two broad groups:

• Foundational starters - Minimal Unity integrations you can copy into your own project.
• Reference games - Feature-rich projects that demonstrate live ops workflows.

Foundational Starters

Hello World

This is the tiny, friendly starter that gets you from zero to a running Metaplay scene. Open the project, press play, and you’ll see how the Metaplay client, shared code, and backend all connect without any of the extra noise.

Grab the source from the latest release on the Metaplay Portal.

Reference Games

Wordle Tutorial

Follow the Wordle Tutorial if you like learning by doing. The Wordle Tutorial is split into Part1, Part2, and Part3, each adding more server logic and configuration. You’ll build up features gradually, so it’s great when you want a guided, step-by-step walkthrough.

Grab the hands-on guide at Wordle Tutorial or get the source from the latest release on the Metaplay Portal.

Idler

Idler is a testing ground for Metaplay feature. A complete live-service example that covers leagues, events, in-game purchases, analytics, party systems, and a highly customizable dashboard. Use it when you want to see how all the moving parts fit together in a real-ish game.

Source is in the latest release on the Metaplay Portal.

Orca

Orca is a focused reference for a merge-2 style game. It shows the same live-service features as Idler but tailored to merge gameplay: custom dashboards, extensive game configs, data-driven design, and the kinds of systems a casual mobile game needs.

If you’re building a merge-style game or want examples of data-driven design, Orca is worth a look. The docs are available at Sample: Orca and the source is available on GitHub: https://github.com/metaplay-shared/orca.
