How to create a one-to-one multiplayer game with Netcode for Gameobjects

Hi @lobador ! You can definitely create these types of game with Netcode for gameobjects (aka "NGO"). If you want to connect two players you can do it in different ways.

The most popular/cheaper is using a Relay server + NAT punchthrough whenever possible. You can have a look at setting up a Relay server for your game here.
If your game becomes competitive-focused in the future (I.E: with ranked games like in League of Legends), you might think of switching to a dedicated server approach using Unity Game Server hosting (more expensive, but also cheater-proof if you code your game properly).

Does this answer your question?

 

@lobador happy to help!

Maybe the official documentation + this video would be a good starting point for setting up Relay? If it's the first time you use NGO, I'd also recommend this one. It's the one I used to get started and learn more about the basic concepts behind NGO

It depends on how you architect your game and how you connect your players. In general, you need one "game" server (which is something different than the "relay" server) and clients connect to it. With NGO you can decide to have one player act both as a server and a client. This type of player is called the "host".

Every time you start a new match, you need to create an instance of a game server and make the client connect to it. If this sounds complicated, don't worry! Unity services do this for you

We also have a discord server in which you can come and ask questions, if it helps. It's here.

Does this give you a starting point?

 

P.S: just a quick note about the Punchthrough: unfortunately Unity doesn't have an out-of-the-box solution for it, so you'll have to use non official packages / plugins for that
