The classic masterpiece '1945' perfectly recreated in Unity! From single game to multiplayer

This course is a hands-on course that teaches you how to create the classic shooting game '1945', known to everyone, using Unity .

🎮 Step 1: Complete Singleplayer 1945

• Starting with basic Unity skills and implementing a complete single-player 1945 game

• Implementing all elements including player control, enemy patterns, item system, and boss battles

🌐 Step 2: Extending Multiplayer with Unity Netcode

• Added multiplayer functionality based on completed single game

• Complete mastery of network synchronization, server-client architecture

Learn about these things

Unity Netcode and Photon are representative networking solutions that implement multiplayer functions in game development. Let's compare their features and differences.

Unity Netcode for GameObjects (NGO)

characteristic:

• Free networking solution officially provided by Unity

• Based on Client-Server architecture

• Open source and customizable

• Deeply integrated with the Unity editor

merit:

• Completely free (server hosting costs excluded)

• Full compatibility with the Unity ecosystem

• High performance and low latency

• Access to source code allows for fine-tuning

• Supports large number of players

disadvantage:

• You need to build your own server infrastructure

• Relatively high initial setup and learning curve

• You need to implement matchmaking, lobby system, etc. yourself.

Photon

characteristic:

• Commercial networking solutions provided by Photon Engine

• Cloud-based services

• A diverse range of products including Photon PUN, Photon Bolt (now Photon Fusion), and Photon BOLT.

merit:

• No need to manage server infrastructure (cloud service)

• Rapid prototyping and development possible

• Built-in matchmaking, lobby, and friend system

• Excellent cross-platform support

• Relatively easy learning curve

disadvantage:

• Paid service (charged based on usage)

• Limitations due to cloud dependency

• Limitations on customization

• Costs spike at high concurrent users

Compare the main differences

expense:

• Unity Netcode: Free (server costs excluded)

• Photon: Monthly usage-based billing

Server Management:

• Unity Netcode: Requires building and managing your own server

• Photon: No management required with cloud service

Performance:

• Unity Netcode: Higher Performance in Optimized Environments

• Photon: Stable but cloud-based with limitations

Development speed:

• Unity Netcode: Initial setup takes a long time

• Photon: Rapid Prototyping

Selection criteria

If you choose Unity Netcode:

• Massive multiplayer game development

• A team capable of building server infrastructure

• When long-term operating cost savings are important

• When fine-grained control of networking logic is required

If you choose Photon:

• When rapid prototyping is required

• Small teams or indie developers

• If you want to reduce the burden of server management

• Small to medium sized multiplayer games

Both solutions have clear pros and cons, so it's important to choose based on the size of your project, your team's skills, your budget, and your long-term plans.
