Unity Server (Multiplayer Game)

Question

I'm currently working on a Unity game. The game is a 2D traitor game and should be a multiplayer game.

Everything's fine except the multiplayer/server thing. What's the best probably simplest method to do this in 2020 (because unity networking engine is deprecated right?)

Please give me some hints. Thanks

Answer 1

Mirror is a community replacement of the deprecated UNet. It works almost exactly the same bar several improvements. While it isn't ideal for larger projects, it works just fine for smaller projects. I've found it very useful for providing simple Server and Client communication and syncing variables.

Answer 2

You can use Photon/Google Play Games Multiplayer API/Steam Multiplayer API or write your own server using c# sockets.
