    Hello

    How can I create a android multiplayer by hotspot (Wifi) ?
    Which plugin should I use?
    Can Unity do it ?

    I want to make an offline game and just by hotspot or wifi (like share it app).
    How can I do it?

    Thnaks.

    Hey
    First of all unity's built in networking can be used if you find/write a script which does udp broadcasting to find others. secondly QUALCOMM has an open source platform called all joyn which can be used and is specifically created for these scenarios.

    I've never used it but it seems to do the job and big companies used it.

    uLink of www.muchdifferent.com can be used with it's lan discovery feature as well and it's very easy to use but you should buy a license.

    Good news! You would create networking the same way that you normally would when it comes to local WiFi :D

    You can use other third party networking solutions like one that my team and I have designed. We have video tutorials to teach networking on our system, however, if you want to learn how to do it yourself (for fun) then, I also have a video tutorial series on how to get started with built in Unity networking. :D
