Since every game has its own specific needs when it comes to networking, any one-size-fits-all options will likely come with a downside. You'll end up making trade-offs between performance, certain features, ease of use, and cost.So what's the alternative? You can build your own networking solution! That may sound daunting—and it's by no means easy—but by the end of this step by step Unity networking tutorial series, you'll have learned the fundamentals of how to make a multiplayer game in Unity, even if you're completely new to networking! You'll also learn a ton about how not only games, but also how connected software in general use TCP and UDP to communicate. In this Unity multiplayer tutorial series, we'll be building a dedicated game server from scratch, which is essential if you want to prevent cheating.⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯"Interplanetary Forest" by Meydän is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)Artist: soundcloud.com/meydansound

I added a masking system to the underwater fog so that it works properly even when half of your screen is submerged and the other half isn't, and I added reflections and refraction, which have _significantly_ improved how good the water surface looks. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯The music and sound effects used in this video are sourced from the YouTube Audio Library, StreamBeats, and GameAudioGDC.⮞ youtube.com/audiolibrary⮞ streambeats.com⮞ sonniss.com/gameaudiogdc

Multiplayer game dev is difficult and time-consuming, and Riptide saves you the effort of writing the super low level stuff yourself—it takes care of establishing connections between a client and a server and makes sending data back and forth really easy, while still giving you plenty of control over what your code is doing.Riptide can be used both in and out of Unity, and it supports a wide variety of game architectures. Whether you need an authoritative server for a competitive shooter you're building or you're just looking to make a multiplayer co-op game where players host their own lobbies (sometimes referred to as peer to peer), RiptideNetworking can help you do that.At the end of the last video, players were essentially being teleported around every time a client receives a position update from the server, and instability in connections can cause messages to be lost or delayed, both of which make movement look choppy. The tick & interpolation systems we set up in this tutorial are built to account for those situations and smooth out player movement.

After quite a bit of bug fixing and cleaning up things that didn't work, I finally played my pirate game with some of my friends. That means that I was able to get some gameplay footage with multiple players, which is certainly much more interesting and entertaining.I also made it possible to bail water out of your ship as it sinks, which means you're no longer left with a ship full of water just because you took one hole. It's been 2 years since I started this project, and I'm so excited to be entering the early playtesting phase!

It makes setting up a server and connecting clients to it much quicker and easier, plus it's more reusable! I still have a lot of work to do before this networking solution is completely ready, but once it is, I'll definitely be making a tutorial about it :)Additionally, I flattened the waves around islands, which was long overdue, and I made it possible to repair your ship when it takes damage.
Adding an Inventory to My Multiplayer Pirate Game | Indie Devlog #42 Tom Weiland 2020-12-01 | In this indie devlog I added an inventory system to my multiplayer pirate game.Next devlog: youtu.be/zjTcfM6fNkgPirate game playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXkn83W0QkfmQI9lUzi--TxJaOFYIN7Q4⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Discord server: tomweiland.net/discordSupport me on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/tom-weilandSupport me on Ko-fi: tomweiland.net/kofiGitHub: tomweiland.net/githubProject's Trello board: trello.com/b/vJwk0iwS/pirate-gameWebsite: tomweiland.net⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯In this indie devlog I added an inventory to my multiplayer game (built in Unity). After doing some major code refactoring and fixing a few issues that had been plaguing the project for a while, I finally added the second portion of the inventory system, which is a more traditional "item slots-based" system.Although it's working, while recording footage for this video I discovered a few desync issues when multiple players are looking in the same barrel. There's also still a lot to clean up and polish off as far as UI input goes, not to mention that all the item icons are currently still placeholders, so there's a lot left to do.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D

Being self-taught, I had never really properly familiarized myself with the concepts of OOP, and so it was about time I did!#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D
Blocking, Resource Harvesting & Planning the Gameplay Loop | Indie Game Devlog #40 Tom Weiland 2020-10-14 | In this indie game devlog I added blocking and resource harvesting, and I finally did some proper planning for the gameplay loop.Next devlog: youtu.be/-lS3DgiEOjQPirate game playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXkn83W0QkfmQI9lUzi--TxJaOFYIN7Q4⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Discord server: tomweiland.net/discordSupport me on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/tom-weilandSupport me on Ko-fi: tomweiland.net/kofiGitHub: tomweiland.net/githubProject's Trello board: trello.com/b/vJwk0iwS/pirate-gameWebsite: tomweiland.net⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯In this indie game devlog I started by adding a blocking mechanic, which I didn't get around to in the last video. Then I did a ton of brainstorming and really figured out a plan for the future of this project, which was LONG overdue to say the least!I also began working towards getting the core gameplay loop in place by adding resource harvesting for the rocks and trees. In the future I'll be adding other resources like iron, precious metals, rope, and cloth for sails, but for now I should be able to build out the necessary mechanics with just wood and stone.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D

The UI overhaul wasn't as interesting as I thought it might be since I ended up mostly reorganizing stuff on the backend, so I did my best to cram in some decent progress towards the end of the video. I spent quite a bit of time doing some freelance work recently, so that's another reason this devlog was a bit more mellow :PThe first bug I fixed made the player float into the air anytime he was interacting with something because gravity wasn't being applied, and the second one prevented the camera from positioning itself correctly when aiming cannons. Both of these issues have been around for a few months because I ignored them, and it felt really good to get them off my list off things to do.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D

URP doesn't currently have built-in decal support, but luckily I found a shader that allows me to project a hole texture directly onto the ship's hull.As for the grappling hooks, I had WAY too much fun playing around with those. It took a while to get it working properly, but swinging around the boat like Jack Sparrow feels pretty epic! Grappling hooks also open the door for all kinds of interesting boarding maneuvers, so I'm excited to see how people will use them once I get some sort of beta version out.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D
Making a Low Poly Player Model That Needs to be Burned | Unity Multiplayer Game Devlog #36 Tom Weiland 2020-07-26 | In this Unity multiplayer game devlog, I used Blender to created a low poly player model (more like a monstrosity) and I removed my client prediction & reconciliation systems.Next devlog: youtu.be/4v1plqSjWjAPirate game playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXkn83W0QkfmQI9lUzi--TxJaOFYIN7Q4⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Discord server: tomweiland.net/discordSupport me on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/tom-weilandSupport me on Ko-fi: tomweiland.net/kofiGitHub: tomweiland.net/githubProject's Trello board: trello.com/b/vJwk0iwS/pirate-gameWebsite: tomweiland.net⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯In this devlog I modeled a low poly player model which needs to be burned at the stake (100% deserved). The face is an absolute abomination and will definitely need a major overhaul soon, but for now this project has turned into a horror game :PI also removed my client prediction and reconciliation systems, which means you can once again walk on boats without experiencing extreme jittering. The controls are slightly unresponsive now, but I'm ready to move on to some actual gameplay. I'll reimplement some sort of solution to make it feel responsive at a later point in time.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D
Participating in My First Game Jam | Making of Out of the Blew - Collab Jam #1 Tom Weiland 2020-07-20 | I recently participated in my first game jam, and in this video I wanted to share my experience of making a game (Out of the Blew) in 48 hours.Check out my devlogs: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXkn83W0QkfmQI9lUzi--TxJaOFYIN7Q4⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Ecrett Music (AI-generated music): ecrettmusic.comPlay the jam games: itch.io/jam/collab-jam1/entriesDiscord server: tomweiland.net/discordSupport me on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/tom-weilandSupport me on Ko-fi: tomweiland.net/kofiGitHub: tomweiland.net/githubWebsite: tomweiland.net⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Almost 3 weeks ago, I participated in the first Collab Jam, which was a game jam organized by Mickey. A bunch of other small game dev YouTubers participated, and it was a really great experience for my first game jam.The theme was "The Unexpected" and in 48 hours I used Unity to make an endless runner game where you play as a fish and have to swim as far as possible through geyser-infested waters before getting blown out of the water. I called it Out of the Blew, which I thought was rather clever, although the wordplay may also have been a bit overkill 😅Anyways, in this video I wanted to share my experience and the process of making Out of the Blew, and hopefully this inspires some of you to also finally participate in your first game jams. It's a great learning experience and can be a lot of fun, and participating in a smaller jam first will make larger ones like Ludum Dare seem much less daunting!#GameJam #GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D #CollabJam
Rocks, Swimming, and Scrapping Client Prediction? | Unity Multiplayer Game Devlog #35 Tom Weiland 2020-07-12 | In this Unity multiplayer game devlog, I added procedurally generated rocks, implemented swimming mechanics, and tried to fix client prediction on ships.Next devlog: youtu.be/KxDnx71u_kAPirate game playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXkn83W0QkfmQI9lUzi--TxJaOFYIN7Q4⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Discord server: tomweiland.net/discordSupport me on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/tom-weilandSupport me on Ko-fi: tomweiland.net/kofiGitHub: tomweiland.net/githubProject's Trello board: trello.com/b/vJwk0iwS/pirate-gameWebsite: tomweiland.net⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯In this devlog I modeled a low poly rock and incorporated it into my procedural generation system. I also added swimming mechanics, and I attempted to fix client prediction & reconcilation when on board a ship.Ever since I added prediction, standing and moving around on boats has resulted in extremely jittery player movement, which is due to the fact that clients see ships in the past compared to the server. I was hoping to fix that up, but I ran into some more issues, and I'm beginning to wonder if I should scrap prediction/reconciliation for now in favor of working on actual gameplay.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D
How Much Money Small Channels Make on YouTube From Ads | Small Game Dev YouTuber Income Revealed Tom Weiland 2020-07-05 | My YouTube channel has been monetized for about 2 months now, and in this video I share how much money my small game dev channel makes from YouTube ads.Check out my devlogs: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXkn83W0QkfmQI9lUzi--TxJaOFYIN7Q4⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Blackthornprod's video about his income: youtu.be/JOeKHs7PSUoInfo about ad types: support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2375464?hl=enDiscord server: tomweiland.net/discordSupport me on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/tom-weilandSupport me on Ko-fi: tomweiland.net/kofiGitHub: tomweiland.net/githubWebsite: tomweiland.net⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯It's been a while since I last made a video about my income, and at the time my YouTube channel wasn't monetized, so I wasn't able to cover that. I love learning how much money other YouTubers make—especially smaller channels to see what's possible, so I figured in this video I would share how much money my small channel makes on YouTube from ads.There's tons of videos out there of YouTubers sharing their income, but since ad revenue can vary so wildly from niche to niche, it's not super "applicable" information unless your channel is in the same niche as the creator you're watching. The only other game dev YouTuber who shared his ad revenue seems to be Blackthornprod (that's based on titles in search—his video's was the only one mentioning YouTube revenue), so I figured I'll add to that.I know a lot of people would love to make a bunch of money through YouTube ads, and although it's perfectly possible, I think it's more difficult in the game dev & tech niches than elsewhere. I've noticed that comparatively few of my views are being monetized, and this seems to be the case for Blackthornprod as well. My best guess as to why this might be is that people who subscribe to game dev channels are quite likely to be more technologically savvy than the average YouTube viewer, and so many of you have ad blockers installed.#YouTuberIncome #GameDevYouTuber #YouTubeAnalyticsA Turn for the Worse - Sadness by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/?keywords=worseArtist: http://incompetech.com

At first I thought this would be quite difficult, and at one point I even considered abandoning procedural generation altogether, but once I got out of my head and actually started writing code it was fairly straightforward.Then I made the ocean infinite. In reality, the water plane just moves with the camera now, but that makes the water appear to be endless. I also improved the camera's submersion detection by removing its reliance on an approximation, so the water fog actually gets enabled and disabled properly now.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D

I also modeled a new Flintlock pistol with Blender to use as the first ranged weapon and I implemented the basics of ranged combat.Although my prediction system now works great on dry, non-moving land, the fact that ships move poses a problem. Since the client sees himself in the present but ships in the past, it can't accurately predict the player's movement when on board a boat because the starting positions are different from what the server uses to make those same calculations. I'm still not sure how I'm going to get around this issue.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D"Interplanetary Forest" by Meydän is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: soundcloud.com/meydansound

This allows clients to show the game almost as if it were a movie—the client already knows what will happen before it does, and therefore can display it to the player with much better accuracy.The first time I tackled interpolation, all I did was make the client lerp between the state updates it received from the server—no timing involved. This works fine when I connect on from the same computer which the server is running on since there's almost no latency in that case, but if packets are delayed, the client ends up simply extrapolating the previous movement because it doesn't know what else to do. That's not the end of the world in many cases, but especially when it comes to players in fast-paced games, showing movement precisely is pretty important, so I finally decided to take care of interpolation the proper way.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D"Interplanetary Forest" by Meydän is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: soundcloud.com/meydansound

Dropping and Raising the Anchor | Unity Multiplayer Game Devlog #23 Tom Weiland 2020-01-12 | In this Unity multiplayer game devlog, I get to work on dropping and raising the anchor.Next devlog: youtu.be/ADM7dtCQnbEPirate game playlist: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXkn83W0QkfmQI9lUzi--TxJaOFYIN7Q4⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Discord server: tomweiland.net/discordSupport me on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/tom-weilandSupport me on Ko-fi: tomweiland.net/kofiGitHub: tomweiland.net/githubProject's Trello board: trello.com/b/vJwk0iwS/pirate-gameWebsite: tomweiland.net⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯With it still being the holidays, I didn't make too much progress during the first week of this devlog. However, in the second half I started working on dropping and raising the anchor, which came with a few problems. Since the capstan's collider will have to rotate, I can't make it part of the ship's compound collider, so I ended up looking into BepuPhysics' constraints. I got kind of stuck, but once I sort it out I'll be able to use the same knowledge to rotate the colliders of other objects such as the rudder and the cannons.I also had to rewrite the way I handle inputs on my server in order to allow me to take advantage of continuous inputs. This took a lot longer than I would have liked, and the code still feels kind of messy, but I should be able to reuse the same systems quite often in the future.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D"Interplanetary Forest" by Meydän is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: soundcloud.com/meydansound
Goal Setting as a Game Developer & Shifting Your Identity to Achieve Your Goals | My Goals for 2020 Tom Weiland 2020-01-05 | In this video, I share some of my thoughts on goal setting, as well as what some of my personal goals are for 2020.Check out my devlogs: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXkn83W0QkfmQI9lUzi--TxJaOFYIN7Q4⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Discord server: tomweiland.net/discordSupport me on GitHub Sponsors: github.com/sponsors/tom-weilandSupport me on Ko-fi: tomweiland.net/kofiGitHub: tomweiland.net/githubWebsite: tomweiland.net⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯I've never really been someone who set New Year's resolutions, but now that I'm out of High School, I decided to give goal setting a shot. It has always bothered me how it seems to be normal to fail your New Year's resolutions, but what if instead of simply setting goals, we shifted our identity to make achieving your goals much easier?Our behaviors and habits are shaped by our environment and our perception of who we are. So if we could learn to control the way we view ourselves, it'd be a lot easier to accomplish the things we hope to achieve. In this video, I go into this concept in more depth, but I certainly don't have it all figured out, so please leave your thoughts in the comments below!#GoalSetting #2020 #GameDev #IndieDev"Interplanetary Forest" by Meydän is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: soundcloud.com/meydansound

I still need to make it so clients can see those holes and repair them, but all the server-side stuff is there now.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D"Interplanetary Forest" by Meydän is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: soundcloud.com/meydansound

Staying motivated and productive can be hard, and procrastination is often a real problem for me. In this video, I share some of my thoughts on staying focused and not giving up.Progress-wise, I made sails adjustable, and then I made the ship's speed depend on the wind direction, sail length, and sail angle. Currently, sailing directly into the wind is impossible, much like it is in real life, but I'm not sure if I'll keep it that way. It's pretty inconvenient, and this is a game, meaning it's supposed to be fun, but we'll see.#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D"Interplanetary Forest" by Meydän is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: soundcloud.com/meydansound

Adding a Day-Night Cycle and More Realistic Wave Simulation | Unity Multiplayer Game Devlog #20 Tom Weiland 2019-12-01 | In this Unity multiplayer game devlog, I continue working on making ships sink.

I'm super happy with the way the water has turned out, it looks so much better now!Next, I added a day night cycle to the game. Although I decided to tackle the procedural skybox shader at a later point in time, I managed to get some nice looking sunsets going in Unity—simply by making the sun color, ambient light color, and the fog density and color dependent on the time of day. This has really made the world feel more alive, and I can't wait until I reach the point where the game is playable!#Devlog #GameDev #IndieDev #Multiplayer #Unity3D"Interplanetary Forest" by Meydän is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0)Artist: soundcloud.com/meydansound
