Installation Guide:

New Features:

  • The ClientDriven bitesize sample has been refactored to integrate Unity’s Third Person Character Controller Starter Asset. The sample now features a PlayerPrefab inside NetworkManager that is a networked variant of the Starter Assets character prefab. Other improvements include:

  • Input polling via the new Input System

  • Connection UI utilizing UI Toolkit

  • All three samples (ClientDriven, 2DSpaceShooter, and Invaders) have received a visual overhaul.

  • All three samples have been updated to Netcode for GameObjects v1.2.0 & Unity 2021.3.15f1 LTS.

Compatibility:

Bitesize Samples now support the most recent LTS version of the Unity editor.

If you choose to use it with previous editor versions, you will experience compatibility issues with some aspects of the project. If you are currently running Bitesize Samples with 2020LTS, we recommend upgrading to 2021 LTS at the earliest opportunity via the Unity Hub.

If you experience any issues or would like to share feedback with the development team, you can connect with us either via the Multiplayer Forum, on Discord or contribute to the project directly via Github.

Awesome stuff! Is Boss Room getting updated to Unity 6? That would be fantastic since that’s sort of the flagship NGO sample isn’t it?

Are there any NGO FPS samples in consideration? It would be nice to have FPS Microgame or FPS Sample (2018) set up with current NGO. If there’s some WIP/experimental FPS NGO projects you can point to, that would be appreciated.

Is Boss Room getting updated to Unity 6

Yup, it’s something we’re working on this quarter, but I don’t have a release date that I can share. Same goes for the other bitesize samples.

Are there any NGO FPS samples in consideration?

Not sure of what I can share here, so I’ll just say that If/when there’s going to be an FPS sample, there will be official announcements about it.
NGO is not an ideal framework for FPS btw, it’s not meant to be used to build fast-paced competitive games. You can find more info about that in this Unite talk.
