I finally fixed datastores! Also, I added badges, Player Points, gear settings, and the gravity property.
DataStores
If you tried uploading a game that used DataStoreService and it didn't work, it's because I never added it. It's added now so I suggest testing your game again. It supports I believe every single method your game could've possibly used so most stuff will work with no changes needed, but I can't promise without lying that I caught everything.
Badges
You can now award badges in your game! Go to the badge menu on the develop page and you can create, edit, and even enable/disable them, then award them using a server script in your game (the badge creation page tells you how to do this).
Player Points
Player Points are back. You can give them out with PointsService from a server script. They show up on your profile, on the page of every game that uses them (with leaderboards), and on the new Points page in the top bar!
There's a per game cap on how much a player can earn so nobody can just sit in a game forever and farm them (no clue why anyone would do that in the first place). In Studio they will also be simulated, so you can test safely.
Gear
You can now change if players can equip gear in your game, and even only allow certain genres of gear. It's under Gear in Configure Place. All new games, as well as existing ones, have gear off by default to make sure competitive games stay fair, but if you don't want that feel free to go change it!
Gravity
Gravity's adjustable per game now. That's the section. I had to include it somewhere at some point sorry lol
Thanks for playing!
