Hi i just wanted to know if you need servers for online games or could you run the another way, and i also wanted to know if there was a way how to create a server that could run from the internet some how and have atleast 20gb storage or do you need to buy one from dell or linode?
Not any kind of expert but you don’t ‘need’ a server if you use a p2p style system, basically making the players host the games themselves. (correct me if i’m wrong)
And you can by a virtual private server (vps) from a webhosting company which allows you to have a fairly cheap alternative to buying your own server.
even if players host the game you need at least 1 server to host a Unity Masterserver + NAT Faciliator so you can list the available games and to ensure that people don’t need to open up ports to be able to start any game hosting
Ah i wonder if you can make games host them self like you said “if you use a p2p style system, basically making the players host the games themselves”
