Hi I noticed there are quite some number of games out there using Unity to develop multiplayer game. My question is, do you rent/buy your server? Is there any cheaper/FOC way if I’m just an indie developer (without too much of fund) who wanna develop multiplayer game?
I heard Google App Engine and anyone did use that to develop a multiplayer game? Mind to share with me?
Hey Birdkingz,
That depends on what you want to use the server for. If you want to make your game authoritative, and mean to write server-side code, you’ll need get yourself a server, even if you just set up a local computer to do so during development and testing. Unity provides a free master server that handles facilitation of games where one of the peers acts as the host and it can be used for testing and development, the source code of which is freely available.
