Unity3D Public server help..

[SoftwareNinja]

Hi there,

 

I have recently came up with an idea for a game which uses completely online server.

I was wondering if anyone knows or can point me in the right direction to set up public servers for my game idea.

 

I am a Game Design College Student but we are not touching off Servers at all. So i want to learn for myself.

 

If anyone can help this would be much appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

I have used Photon3D for Unity and it was pretty nice. You can use their (free) servers, but I believe they have some player restrictions and stuff. You can also link it to your own server later.

The plugin mostly uses C#, but also has a bit of Javascript. The documentation is pretty good, but it's still very hard. They have a decently active thread on the Unity Forums where you can ask for help too, but I would recommend you do some of their tutorials.

Okay thanks, I will look into that because im looking to make 24/7 servers for about 5v5 or 6v6 games but i dont want to restrict how many people can play the game.

I don't remember the maximum amount of players, as I only used it for 1 on 1 purpose. I'm sure it's somewhere in their documentation.

Did Photon, but starting up is pretty painful. I suggest Unity UNET with the matchmaking services. UPsing the system that the engine gives you is also a bit more reliable. Starting up with UNET is also a lot easier after I switched imo. Also their free service is pretty sweet.
