Adding Multiplayer - Where to get started

[pantang_1]

I’m approaching the stage where I am considering adding a multiplayer component to my game but I can’t find a good starting point and it seems we are loosing the current built in system as well making this a daunting decision. What I require is a system that will allow me to host my own dedicated servers with no hidden/extra costs.

Where do I get started? is TNet my best option or can I use something built in still or free?

What are the pros and cons of available network solutions/assets

[EDIT 04/04/23] WARNING: This list hasn’t been updated in a few years so a lot of information is missing and outdated. This is a simple list of the best solutions and assets and their pros and cons so that I (and others) can make the best choice for their multiplayer projects. Here’s a link to a similar google doc where you can get more information on some of the solutions listed here, and general networking terms: Here’s a spreadsheet with even more information. thanks @F-R-O-S-T-Y and @…

Take a look at the options available, see which ones fit with what you would like to create, and give one or more a try.
