Unity Game Onboarding Funnel Tracking with GameAnalytics: C# Implementation & Drop-Off Telemetry (Part 2)
Welcome to Part 2 of our 3-Part GameAnalytics Onboarding Funnel Masterclass:
- Part 1: Architecture, Event Taxonomy & SDK Initialization ā
- Part 2: C# Implementation, Drop-Off Telemetry & Time-to-Complete Tracking (This Guide)
- Part 3: Funnel Visualization, A/B Testing & D1 Retention Tuning ā
In this second installment, we write a robust, production-ready C# manager (OnboardingFunnelTracker) that automatically tracks step completion, measures exact time spent on each step, logs failure retries, and handles mandatory vs optional tutorial steps.
1. Designing the OnboardingFunnelTracker Singleton
A clean onboarding manager must satisfy 4 production requirements:
- Prevent Duplicate Logs: Ensure a step is only logged as completed once per player lifetime.
- Track Time-to-Complete: Measure how many seconds players take to complete each tutorial section.
- Handle Retry Loops: Distinguish between a player who completes a step on their first try vs someone who fails 5 times.
- Persist Completion State: Use
PlayerPrefsor server saving to avoid re-triggering tutorial telemetry on game restart.
2. Production C# Onboarding Funnel Manager
3. Integrating the Tracker into Gameplay Scripts
Trigger tracking events cleanly inside your tutorial UI or trigger volume scripts.
4. Part 2 Summary & Next Steps
In this second guide, we implemented the C# OnboardingFunnelTracker manager, recorded step durations, and logged failure/skip events to GameAnalytics.
