Hi I’m Rico. And I’m a game developer. Recently I just found out about **Nakama+Godot** combo. I wanted to recreate the my favorite Online 2D RPG Game. I want to recreate it for the current compiled version I have is lag due to compatibility, means it’s not compatible with latest machines anymore. Please read and hope someone can help me.  
**1. I have all the graphics needed. (Sprites, Weapons, Skill Effects, Monsters, Map/Planets, etc…)**  
**2. I also know the whole logic of the game.**  
**3. I also saw a related tutorial here: [https://www.youtube.com/c/HeroicLabs/videos](https://www.youtube.com/c/HeroicLabs/videos), but the problem is the database is default by Nakama. I wanted to have it in MySQL database for one good reason it’s more managable and easier to integrate.**

HI @matsu welcome 👋

Looks like your game could be successfully updated to use Nakama server for all the game storage, user accounts, and other metagame features.

Sorry the server does not support MySQL. We’ve used Postgres for years and find it to be very easy to manage, very easy to update, has lots of features, and is one of the most well loved database engines in the world. We’ve designed the game server to take advantage of specific features of Postgres wire-compatible engines (which includes CockroachDB, and AWS Aurora for Postgres).
