Server without the game

Hi everyone , just sorry for my english I'm from Ukraine , I have a question , how do I create a game server , regardless of the game you have to make sure that the server would be running on a separate machine?

 

Are you completely new to networking? I have some video tutorials about how to do this but they are all in English. I also have a networking system of my own that handles all of this already if you want to check out our free and open beta.

 

Thank you very much , I can read documents and watch videos in English but my spoken language is poor.

 

There are variety of different scenarios you could implement and understand as server.

• Client can be server
• Server cannot be client (on different machine)
• Server is not/ is authorative
• Use framework or api to develop networking - photon (pun/server), smartfox server, other
• Use Unity instance as server (personally dont think it's a good idea for mmos)
  
• Create your own server using Sockets

 

I recommend trying Photon Unity Networking. Easy to get up and running, very good documentation, excellent support. You can set up your own server or use an existing one hosted by Photon.

They have a whole slew of useful features, so you should be able to get it the way you want.

 

I love you!

Those videos are amazing. I had to make some small changes to the code involving networkView using Unity 5, but those videos have been extremely helpful.

 

You can also consider http://www.parse.com or http://developer.npnf.com. They both can help you to build the game server without knowing much about the infrastructure behind the scene.
