Have you thought of SignalR for game comms? I'm weighing the pro and cons against controller get and posts.

Thanks for the video it is really good to see a simple example of an auth flow usually they explode your head a bit, but after watching this tutorial I will actually try to set my own server up :D Also hell yeah for a deploy episode !!

Great series so far. I really like the super condensed, (I expect you to know some basic programming already) level of tutorial here. So hard to find advanced topic tutorials that don't treat the audience like a complete newbie. I want to try and adapt this to use gRPC for transport rather than HTTP. I'm not sure which parts are going to be difficult though, some of it should transfer nicely, but I suspect there is going to be some parts that aren't as nice as "add this hook and it works"

absolutely great video! i was looking for videos just showing me how to start with authentication/authorization and all of them are extremely long and don't just show me what i wanted to know... i knew the rest about asp.net core webservices, but i needed something to get started with those two topics. thank you very much! keep up the pace, everything you need to get started is in there. if it is to fast for someone, you can always pause or rewind a bit... 🥳

Thanks for the video Tarodev ! I love it ! But i have a little question, every web server for Unity is using .NET Core ? Or we can create this web server for Unity with Angular, Nextjs, Laravel or any other framework ?

After going through your Unity Code Optimization Video, I went through your channel's content and I HAVE to say, this is by far one of the most underrated channels on unity out here. Thank you so much for bringing these contents to us. I haven't even watched this but I am really excited to go through this and all your other tutorials. One Question: I'm a beginner-intermediate dev here, with no knowledge of Networking whatsoever. I use Photon(PUN) for creating multiplayer games but I really feel disconnected from its behind-the-scenes workings. I want to create a simple game without using PUN or external APIs so I can better understand the concepts and decide when to use one and when not to. Some devs and posts also suggested that I don't need photon for simple turn-based games. Some suggested that I should learn socket programming and networking and it's worth the time and effort. I simply can't get the answer to whether I should stick to Photon or should I learn socket programming or something else. So can you guide the correct way from a game developer's perspective? If you can create a course for such even behind a paywall, it will be amazing to learn from an instructor like you. And most of us would agree with that.

@Tarodev

2 жыл бұрын

If you don't like the disconnect you feel from the behind the scenes workings (of PUN), a custom server is really your only option. Assuming you decide to learn how to do it and you don't finish your game, you've still learned an incredibly useful skill which is beneficial on any developer resume. The server I'm building here is more of an administration server. Data handling etc, similar to that of firebase or playfab. You'd use this on top of photon for example. Saying that, you can certainly add photon part into this server using sockets. Signalr would work for slower paces games. If you need low latency game play look into LLAPI

Always send respectful requests to your server 😜

Hey, nice topic! What is the main advantage to building a server in .NET Core in a different project? I and some friends have been building a complex card game and our logic, which spans thousands of lines of code, utilizes Unity's API.. so basically, components on top of GameObjects (just how you would typically write a Unity game). I presume your approach focuses on a "Master Server" which handles authentication, lobbies, matchmaking etc and deploys "Game Servers", which would be typically written in Unity. Why wouldn't' you build the "Master Server" as a Unity application as well? Is it performance-related or is it simply easier to write? I've built our master server in Unity with sockets, maintaining a constant bidirectional connection with the player; makes it easier to also send notifications. Would there be any major benefits if I switched it to a RESTful API? Is it that much of a bottleneck to keep active connections to the master server as opposed to doing things only by [HTTP] requests?

I have 2 questions. 1. In unity I keep track of my token & refreshtoken using playerprefs. Is this a good way to store it? 2. How could I verify an action is allowed, for example, setting the highscore, so only the client can send the request, so it can't be done manually via postman or something, so the player can't cheat when they have their token. How would this be possible? Also something i've found very useful for http request is the free asset RestClient, it's also a wrapper for UnityWebRequests which uses promises and alot of functionality like catch, finally etc. By the way, thumbs up, really loving your channel! keep up the good work.

a tutorial on 2d procedural animation will be great sir.

Won't be for a while. I'm the meantime look into signalr

I am just going through this process in my own project with custom classes and it seems like Unity doesnt like having only properties (change done at 1:23) in the dll. After building my own dll, having only properties seems to be causing some errors in the managed dll once loaded in unity, particularly this error seems to appear : "Unable to load attribute info on field {classInfo+fieldName}>k__BackingField. Are you missing a reference?" It seems like this error dissappears once I make the field + property combo. I am not quite sure if this will actually cause some trouble down the line as I havent gotten that far yet, but it's something that I wanted to mention in case someone runs into this issue. And I hope you are feeling better already, get well soon!

So with this knowledge I should be able to GETand POSTfiles that I want to be displayed in my game. For instance I want to share a screen shot of my game world in a social hub i created in Unity. other users will be able to GET and see the file and be able to POST an upvote or downvote on it.

"Get your tip wet"

Your tutorials are extremely informative I really appreciate them. But for this one I think it would have been better to have a very very basic game and then attempt to create a server for it. because if all you show is server code, I'm lost in the land of abstraction, I have no idea how any of this ties to an actual thing that I do in-game, and this makes me unable to pay attention to anything being said or shown. It would have been better to first show something in-game and then be like "you see this thing in front of you (walking, shooting, registering player score...etc), this is how it's carried out on the server end (then proceed to show the server code that allows it to happen)". I think it's extremely important to 'anchor' people to something they can easily understand before talking about abstract concepts like what's happening in the server.

Can this server be refactored to use websockets? I imagine if I want to have a boardgame where a server waits for an action to be sent to the server, then communicate that action to other players, that it would need websockets.

@Tarodev

You certainly could. For primative games you could quite easily use something like signalr. For more advanced realtime game play you may want to look into using a service like netcode by unity.
