Lance Multiplayer game

Over the past 2+ years, I have been developing a mobile multiplayer game called Lance. This project incorporates my own multiplayer framework along with several auxiliary tools. It is primarily based on Unity. I have devised a unique solution for simulating physics, which operates independently of Unity and can function in console mode.

Experience

Technical

• Developed an RPC code generator and a system for real-time synchronization of game world data between players and an authoritative server.
• Implemented AI for bots using the A* pathfinding algorithm.
• Designed the project architecture to allow the entire game to run in console mode without Unity graphics. The project minimizes the use of static/singletons, enabling the simultaneous running of multiple game instances within the same process. For instance, we can run 100 client instances on 10 threads for server stress testing.
• The transport layer is built on the LiteNetLib library, supporting both TCP and UDP protocols. For UDP, we developed a packet splitting algorithm to adhere to the MTU limit and integrated LZ4 compression.
• Led the development of an in-game social network, emulating the functionality seen in Brawl Stars, allowing players to connect with friends. We also created a storage system using PostgreSQL and NHibernate, a lootbox-based metagame, and other essential project components.

Management

• Managed team recruitment and dismissal processes.
• Facilitated interactions with the investor (the project's total budget exceeded $800K).
• Developed plans for feature implementation and utilized GANTT charts.
