Starting my Technical Prototype

Hey friends,

Made some great progress on my technical prototype last week. I feel like for an entire month, I was really overthinking how to make my UE framework (since multiplayer is complicated and there are a lot of different ways to do it). I finally just made something that will work for prototyping, and that has helped me a lot not only in terms of progress but also the emotional feeling of accomplishment.

Basically now I have the multiplayer framework setup, using a listen server model and an Steam online subsystem plugin. I actually tested with a friend but totally forgot to take documentation of it. Now, people can download my game if I send it to them and if they have Steam. I eventually want to put the game on Steam so having this integration was important to me.

Now that’s finally done, I can move on to the fun stuff – designing the level!

I have a video link in my technical documentation under “making a multiplayer game from scratch” (sorry this page is kind of a mess right now so please use the table of contents)

  1. Thanks , I’ve just been searching for information about this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I have discovered so far. But, what about the conclusion? Are you sure about the source?

  2. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

  3. Wonderful blog you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics talked about here?
    I’d really like to be a part of group where
    I can get responses from other knowledgeable individuals
    that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.

    Thanks a lot!
