We had not previously worked on online multiplayer games, and here we will describe how we designed the implementation of LFG: The Fork of Truth. It is a four-person co-op game where each player controls one of the characters of the LFG comic. Players will work in conjunction with their abilities to defeat their enemies and complete quests.

In this tutorial I explain how to create an online multiplayer game using Photon Unity Networking (PUN) instead of standard Unity Networking.

The video below is made up of a Kickstarter-demo, which demonstrates the game-play and multiplayer functionality we're going to talk about.

An important decision that we made at the outset of the project was to implement networking first and all other code later. For each new facility we ensured that it works on the network. In the end it saved us a lot of time, as implementing it at a later stage would probably result in a lot of code changes. To follow this tutorial, a basic understanding of Unity and C # is required.

These are the things we are going to talk about:

Implement server creation and join an existing host.
Creating as a player and how objects can be created on the network.
Network communication using state synchronization and remote process calls.
Interpolating and predicting values ​​between data packages.
Networking was a new topic for us and I found this video tutorial very useful to start. It is explained in JavaScript, but covers the same content as the first three paragraphs.
