Hello. I am thinking of a multiplayer game. But i don’t have enough funds for a server. So I thought drop box will work for it.
Do will it be possible with dropbox. if not do you guys have and idea how to do it free. and also Is it legal to use dropbox for gaining any kind of profit
Dropbox is a file host and it can’t run database, network service or etc for multiplayer.
Depending where you look, you can find a Linux VPS for as low as $15-20/year, usually adequate for experimenting with smaller and more limited multiplayer games.
Photon has a very limited free tier.
Other than that, you might want to experiment in direct communication between players’ clients.
OK leaving the multiplayer idea. still
Can a server emulator be used for it. and is server emulator using illegal
I don’t know what server emulating is, or why it would be illegal.
I would focus on working on a local-multiplayer title first. It doesn’t have to be on a single device. You could just design it to work on a local-area network instead of over the internet. It wouldn’t have the same reach as an internet-capable game, but it would help you to learn some of the basics of networked play. (as well as having less worries about performance)
learning is a different story.
I can learn multiplayer but it would be not very useful unless i don’t make a multiplayer game. LAN is ok but it would not suit the idea that came in my mind. Thus i have left it. And it would be more fun with more players.
