We’re working with poncle to add online co-op to Vampire Survivors! A lot of our team is in love with this game, so we’re quite excited. We’ll share more details about the technical challenges of converting this from local co-op to online multiplayer very soon!  https://lnkd.in/gGz8Ha7a

📣 Big News from coherence! 🎉 coherence is now a Unity Verified Solution! 🎉 This means our multiplayer SDK has been tested and approved by Unity, to make sure it's top-notch quality and integrates seamlessly. If you’re looking for a great multiplayer solution that actually makes creating multiplayer games fun, this is it.

The Games Executive Summit Europe is an important initiative and we're proud to be a part of the mission!

I chat with a lot of developers and when it comes to online multiplayer, cost is normally top of their list of concerns. With our new pricing, we're lowering the risk of cost increase at launch when success is uncertain. We're hoping this gives more developers the confidence to bring their multiplayer ideas to life.

What's your fear around costs when you launch your multiplayer game? Our new pricing model means you still do evaluations and even development for free but the change lowers costs when it's time to launch your game. We want developers to have less cost risk when they first launch and we think this will help with that. https://lnkd.in/eRxCEqmf

We just published a short video overview of a new sample project, demonstrating how to create a network character that is owned by a Simulator server, while players request it to move through RPCs. Sounds potentially convoluted, but – spoiler: the setup is actually quite easy. … coherence, I guess 🤷🏻 Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/dVxAx7r5 #multiplayer #networking #unity3d

I was having so much fun with Multiplayer Play Mode that I decided to record a video of the process. It shows how to launch a @coherenceio Simulator + 4 clients. Once the setup is done (it's like 3 minutes), testing the game is a breeze! 💨 https://lnkd.in/e-pdnjqA #unity3d

This is for Unity devs. The first time I saw this little character melt away due to floating point precision issues I bursted into laugh – but it also made me a bit sad 🥲 I had never seen the effects of “going to the edge of the world” in Unity before. So I created a small video to show what I saw. In the end the only solution is to keep moving objects back to the origin. Because big worlds are often needed in multiplayer games, the coherence SDK for Unity contains a per-object setting that takes the 32-bit coordinates and stores them on the RS in 64 bits. #unity #networking #gamedev

Time for another episode of ByteAction podcast! ➡️ In this episode I'm speaking to Dino Patti - Founder @ coherence and Co-Founder of Playdead Studios ➡️ We talk about his journey in the gaming industry, the creation of Limbo. We also discuss Coherence, how the company powers the multiplayer gaming and the importance of creating experiences that last. ➡️ Lastly we touch on the topic of raising money in the industry, the role of publishers, and the keys to launching a successful game. It was a great conversation, and I hope that you will all enjoy it, and take something away from it 🚀 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ 00:00 Introduction 04:17 Game Development 06:44 Starting Playdead and the Challenges Faced 09:27 Securing Funding and Hiring the First Employee 12:53 Pitching to Investors and Publishers 17:17 The Vision Behind Limbo and its Execution 19:49 Development Timeline 24:45 The Impact of Unity and the Changing Gaming Landscape 26:48 Raising Money for Game Development 40:46 The Keys to Success in the Gaming Industry 47:13 The Role of Publishers in Community Building 49:12 Emphasizing Uniqueness and Innovation in Game Design 52:24 Prioritizing Gameplay over Monetary Success 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ 🎙️ Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dgj5iPvf 🎙️ Youtube: https://lnkd.in/dYZk6mEB 🎙️ ByteAction: https://lnkd.in/dym2txHc 〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️ Coherence: https://coherence.io/ #gamepodcast #gamesindustry #byteaction #videogames #podcast

Network topologies are hard. Which one to use, and why? Many default to server-authoritative (this is definitely a trend in the questions we see in our forums), but server-authoritative is not always the best choice. So I made a video on the paradigm we have at coherence, and on how all the pieces of the puzzle come together. I believe our model is one of the most flexible and scalable out there! The video below is a small preview, the full thing is on Youtube: https://lnkd.in/devgtRbn Let me know what you think about it! I worked a lot on this one to achieve maximum clarity – including making all the graphics. #unity3d #multiplayer #networking #gamedev
