Thank you for the incredibly high quality of your content. Your Unity tutorials helped me a lot in the past years.

[NachitenRemix]

Im very happy to see my comment in one of the screenshots you showed (3:17), I love to see that you really read the comments and take suggestions. You are the best

[notlaw]

I would love to see a basic understanding of the theory behind multiplayer games, like connections between server-client and viceversa. It's something I tried to understand on my own but never've been 100% to fully understand it.

[geri]

Hell yeah. Give us all the multiplayer and keep up the great content. You are a machine, you deliver so much good stuff consistently :D

[tomtomkowski]

2:40 - adding multiplayer with an authoritative server to your turn-based strategy game would be awesome!

[S_Tadz]

Forget Youtube, this deserves a well-structured, in-depth tutorial like the Turn-Based strategy one. Just a bunch of scattered 10 min videos won't take anyone anywhere, the topic is too broad and complex.

[NightMareJP]

Used Photon for university projects. Personally I think having the game well developed and game mechanics ready is much easier to implement multiplayer later on since the foundation is there to test right on the go. Can't wait to see Codemonkey continue to explore.

[MarekNijaki]

Could you do follow up video that explains different type of architectures that should be used for different type of games, eg. Lock step, peer 2 peer, full server authority? Depending on game genre you will probably use different approach, eg FPS, car racing, turn based strategy, so people know what to search more info when they start creating multiplayer for their game?

I have been using Netcode for Game Objects for the last few weeks and it has been really great to use. I have only had one major issue which requires me to use the development branch, but that fix should be out in the next version release. Lots of good information from this video!

[ThunderSnper]

You say, of the comparison, "just pick one and learn", I think the biggest question to ask of that would be which one would benefit a game developer more as if you were to pick Netcode for Game Objects and it becomes apparant that it's not up to the task of a larger scale game then you have to invest your time learning Photon/Mirror etc instead after the fact. Which would be the best one to learn "first" so to say in the view of creating potentially larger scale games than Netcode for Game Objects might allow?

Yes I am aware that if the only limitation as CM has found is the packet size then potentially this answer is actually "personal preference" but as a developer looking at multiplayer I'd like to have some insight for sure :)

Also congrats on 400k!! <3

[Kakashi]

I would love a multiplayer course from you. Actually am trying to learn game dev from you right now so that way I can put my game idea into life and it's also going to be multiplayer based like an MMORPG (hopefully)

[NghtRder]

thanks for answering my question, I would love to see some testing on what it takes to hit the limits of the new multiplayer code, perhaps in the tutorial your making. Might also touch of what it takes before you should consider moving your game to DOTS

[navi]

Hey @CodeMonkey, one quick question. When you make a multiplayer game you use multiplayer specific things like [Server], [ClientRCP] etc, and the logic it's different of making a singleplayer game. My question is, how do you make a game with multiplayer AND singleplayer. Do you host it for one player? Is that a correct way? I think that the multiplayer thing should be an extension of the singleplayer game, right? What is your view and tips on this? Thank you

[falricthesleeping]

Thanks man, really glad that you went through your comments and answered them through this awesome video
Still not going to work with netcode but I appreciate you as a unity youtuber <3

[SantaGamerYoutube]

Great video! I'll be looking more into a smaller scale game, like a 2 player coop game, p2p, without relay.

[unity_with_timoteo]

I hope you do a lobby system in the new series. This is not cover and must game need to split the players into rooms. Thanks Code!

[jamesderaja]

Great video. It gives us a bit more light on netcode

[TheUncutAngel]

People who talk about rollback bother the heck out of me. It's just a philosophy on how information is transfered over the network, but people make it seem like it's an actual networking solution (like netcode for gameobjects, mirror, etc).

No one make tutorials about Netcode for Entities. Everyone say that it’s best choice for multiplayer games with big CCU but no one cover that theme. Can you please make tutorial for how to make such dedicated server and pull it to multiplay?
