Netcode is definitely something I'd like to learn more about. It'd be great to at least be able to make a 1v1, peer-to-peer game and then maybe progress to client-server =)
best overview on the Unity Gaming Services by far. Would be great to see your videos on these game services. I personally would love to see the mutiplayer part, but hey! This is THE code monkey channel, you might as well go down the list one by one and make a complete dictionary.
Ive been getting started with many of these services, ive found the documentation for some sections such as cloud save is a bit lacking vs others like cloud code. Also economy is a very robust system and can be implimented in so many unique ways with instanced items and custom data you could create a units system where each unit is an economy item and the player can customize it via the instanced data, although there is also little/no documentation for giving items instanced data... thanks for this video!
Great tutorial. It would be really helpful if you explained how to setup the final steps of Unity-Ads and In-app purchases. And by final steps I mean after there are set in the game. The connection with the bank account and how to setup the game before launch.
We would like to know more about all of them lol xD very interesting services that let you focus more about the actually game instead of worrying about all of the other things. And the best thing about it is that the first tiers if the services are free ! Thank you unity!
I covered the absolute basics here th-cam.com/video/1KSKRaacdKE/w-d-xo.html For the specifics of each auth method the documentation has some nice mini tutorials
Im curious how netcode stacks up against photon. Im close to launching a beta for my game using photon but Im noticing some delayed stuff. Probably wont convert or anything but Im sure I will be making other multi-player games in the future so im still curious.
Netcode for Game Objects is a networking library, it's how you define what data on what game objects gets synchronized across the internet Relay is simply a tool for facilitating that internet connection, the host and all peers connect to a Relay server which handles sending the data packets back and forth
I haven't used Photon but I would assume they all have pretty much the same features, so differences would be perhaps the cost and the fact that this is the official tool.
Hi Monkey, I love your videos, but I think you miss the main point of multiplay vs relay. Its not about how big your game, its about the type of the game, because if the host is one of the players, data can be overwritten, players can cheat/hack. If you have a game where progress, items are important and you do not want the player to be able to overwrite and be able to get any item they want with a bit of coding knowledge, like an escape from tarkov, then you have to have server side authorization, where server is dedicated and clients always ask the server if they can do something. Like what is in the box what they just opened, server say apple, than client can say banana, still apple will be in your inventory/database. but if client is the host, he can tell what is in the box.
The general rule in multiplayer is "never trust the client" so yes what you are saying is true, however Relay only has one Host so yes that cheating scenario is possible but requires the Host to be the malicious actor. If you're making an e-sports or very competitive game then yup go with Multiplay regardless of game scale.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thank you! Also, I can't get it working with unity. So it doesn't show all the components properly. If you know how to fix it I would love to know, otherwise no problem.
@@matthiasVO You can go into the Unity Package Manager and install the Visual Studio extension, that might solve it Alternatively look for the Unity Tools for Visual Studio and install those manually docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/gamedev/unity/get-started/visual-studio-tools-for-unity
It's not really free, you end up paying in most cases eventually. Be smart and release your game on steam, its only $100 usd per title but all those services are included for free. What Unity try to do here is nothing else as a copy of Photon. For mobile game devs i can understand but for PC you better of going for steam or epic games store.
Wait what? Ur saying if ur making a small (moneywise and team count wise) game you will not need a server? And peer to peer will be enough? Well, sounds like rubbish to me, how about such Basic qbsolute necessity as server authority xd? How the hell to even do snything without it, what, just assume all the users will just be nice and not cheat riiiiiiight
Sure, that's the age-old question of time vs money. Even with great tools like these it's still going to take time to build it yourself so if you can afford to pay someone else to do it then yup that's an option.
It does say version 1.0 however it's still marked as preview, at least in this page Netcode 1.0.0-pre+ docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/releases/netcode/1.0.0

Eu uso o cloud content delivery para diminuir o tamanho do meu jogo. Por enquanto eu uso a versão WebGL e o jogo é descarregado para o browser. Quando o jogo toca uma música, primeiro ele procura a música no cache, se não encontrar, ele faz o download daquela música e toca. Eventualmente o jogador vai acabar com todas as músicas salvas no cache, mas sem ter que fazer download de todas de uma vez. Dá para fazer muita coisa legal com o CCD 🙂
Yup isso também é um uso optimo, ajuda a minimizar o install original para um tamanho muito pequeno para instalar quase instantaneamente. Já vi varios jogos onde dá para ver os assets a aparecerem
It's difficult to justify the prices for CloudSave, CloudFunctions, Analytics and Economy services. These could all be done with Firebase and would cost 1/4 of the price. I'll just use that for more game specific things like Relay, Machmaking etc.
Hi I do not speak English very god Is it possible to answer these questions? 1 i can make game multiplayer for free ? 2 unity free ore no 3 How much money take unity from ads 4 three developers Enough to make a good game
Yes Unity is free, yes all the tools have a free tier, how much money you can make depends on how many people play your game, it can be $0 or billions, yes 3 devs is more than enough to make a good game, 1 dev is more than enough
I heard about Unity Gaming Services in school and it has a lot of interesting features. The multiplayer and voice chat sounds really helpful, hopefully they’re easy to implement.
Very nice and informative video! I read a bit about this some time ago, but this video made things even more clear! I'm interested in how to implement the diagnostics tool. My game was doing fine in small group testing, but once it got to a larger and diverse number of players, a bunch of errors started popping up which hurt a bit the app rating in the store. Also, it would be nice if Unity provided some sort of easy to use leaderboard as part of the Gaming Services.
Good evening, very interesting video (as always). I'm a little scared by the number of tools available, even if I consider that not all of them are useful at first for a small developer like me. The one that interests me the most after this introduction is Lobby. Thanks.
I would love a tutorial for the various multiplayer solutions. Deciding on what you want to use to make your multiplayer game is always so confusing, so hopefully these official solutions by Unity fix that :D Thanks for the awesome video!
I think Relay does have a Authoritative Host and then all the others are Clients although not sure And yes it is intended for casual projects. If you have something hardcore then contact them to use Multiplay with dedicated servers
Hi How to change host ownership without disconnecting players in netcode and relay In this case when host player disconnect i want to change host owner without make all players rejoin Please help
I'm familiar with Unity Gaming Services I know some people who work on that team in Edinburgh. I tried to get a job there but another company gave me an offer as a unity dev faster (and with software industry pay instead of game industry pay) and I needed the job.
I would really like to see (in this order): - Remote Config - Cloud Save - Authentication - All the new network related services (Netcode, Relay, Lobby, Multiplay) - CDN and Addressables - In-App Purchases Thanks for the awesome overview in this video! Unity have had many sponsored Game Services videos lately, but yours was the best. I really liked that you went on an explained the pricing for all of the services.
25mln events in analytics is a joke? one user can have around 100 events calls in a mounth for easy. Simple tutorial analytics can have 25-50+ events. what means 250k active users in a mounth and $ 2.7 per aditional 10k users. No thanks, ill better use google analytics for free
If you have 250k MAU's then congratulations, you've just made a Top 0.01% game! With that many users you should definitely be able to monetize to easily afford that cost.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity for now i have 1/5, only 50k MAUs, and plans for grow. But at least my game not so big, need to do a lot of things, and 25mln event looks funny. Cuz my small one man project has reach 1/5 of quote. And i have no idea how fast other quotes will be reached, btw cloud save taken my attention, but again, 25mln events makes me laugh. For me its weird to limit analytics tool
Thanks for the great video. I have one really important question for which I can not find the answer anywhere. Can I set a hard limit for the gaming services costs? So lets say my app will have 51 CCU for Relay, but I dont want to pay above 50 CCU. So I would set a limit to 0$ and my app would stop working when CCU is above 50.Is it possible? e. g. I am worried about someone writing a script to join to the app with many users just to mess with my costs. Thanks
Hmm I don't think the API has an endpoint for getting the current number of CCUs so don't think that's possible You could add some inactivity logic to your game, if the player doesn't move at all for 30 seconds disconnect them
I know this is a very late question. But isn't there something like a general database where all players can access it. e.g. I want a player to build a level and provide it to other players.
Sadly nope Unity currently does not have any shared storage, only Cloud save which is on a per-player basis. I believe they are working on that but don't think it's out yet. One alternative is to use some cloud provider like Azure, I made some interesting mechanics using cloud storage here unitycodemonkey.com/video.php?v=EEQfSmK1nXA
Really? One of the most successful multiplayer games of all time is a bad example? I haven't played it since release but the game has seen nothing but extreme success.
ECS is still very much in development, I'm not planning to touch it until it's fully released which should be next year. Don't want to spend tons of time making some tutorials for them to quickly become outdated.
Can anybody explain how 50 CCU (relay, free plan) is enough for even small games (as Code Monkey says in the video)? For instance, if you have 5000 active users in your game, would it be enough?
If you have 5000 active players at once that's not really a small game, doing that is insanely difficult, at that scale you're on the top 0.01% indie games. 50 CCU can be 5000 players total, people don't all play at once, you can look on Steamcharts website to see the number of concurrent users on any Steam game, most indie games have way under 50 CCU
Unity game service is not all free.. so... if you ask me, I would rather see tutorials on how to use the epic game services. I heard that they are free at Epic.
Which one isn't free? From what I can see every single one of these tools is either completely free or has a generous free tier. Epic works the exact same way, the only difference is if you go over their free limits you have to contact them rather than have the prices up front.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity well from my perspective, when a game service plays out like a Gacha Mobile Game (cheers to Diablo Immortals), then it is not call free. The free part is just a gimmick to lure us into an endless endeavour. I'm not sure with how things work at Epic game service (price/code), that's why I would love to watch pros like you to talk or go over them in details via videos/post/emails. The core of the problem is, if I were to make something like Overwatch on steam, where gamers are charged only one time during the purchase of the game, how do I sustain the game server in the long run? Thats why I'm attached to the "free" part of the sentence. but thx for the heads up~
Actually i am not sure which solution i should use rn. While UGS still misses some important features like leaderboards (planned), archivements, account adjustments in the dashboard (give inventory item or refund a purchase), a complete list of the accounts to sort (to spot cheaters) .... LootLocker on the other hand isn't very cheap after the free tier. Do you have any thoughts on the missing features?
Im currently building my game with Steam Networking and Mirror, but im curious if Unity GS is worth pivoting as Id like to make sure the game works on mobile at somepoint down the line, I will wait till i see more content about these tools but very interested!
I want to develop a mobile game so if you could make a tutorial or some sort I would appreciate that very much. Thanks for all the content you make, it´s really helping :)
I used the beta version of the tools since they started in October last year. So, I had a few helping people from Unity because I was testing them for a game development class that I am fixing to start in July.
I'd love to see (all of) this covered in depth in in several videos (similar to the Grid System series). Netcode in particular interests me the most, as I would like to try to implement a peer-to-peer connection (one host, several clients) for a turn-based strategy game.
I've never wanted to make a multiplayer game since I wouldn't want to deal with hacking, etc. But all these tools makes it tempting to make something small and fiddle with it.
Yup there are many kinds of multiplayer games you can make. I would never attempt making something hardcore competitive, but looking at these tools it makes me want to try making something more small scale and casual/co-op like Overcooked or Magicka.
This is amazing ngl. I'm definitely gonna start making games with this as I've never really dabbled in the "multiplayer" category of game design as it looked to complicated for my smol brain but I've always wanted to and now I can!
I'm not all the way through the video but is this basically Unity's way of doing multiplayer without using third party stuff like Photon? Similar to how Unreal supports its own multiplayer?
Hello, Can Anyone Please Help me Because I am stuck jn watching tutorials, I am unable to make a single line of code, in my own, Can anyone give me the solution
Just try to make simple game( like simple runner game, saving ur player from coming obstacle or something like that) the thing is u don’t try to completely understand that tutorial but just replicate that video code line by line. What i did in past was watched a tutorial and then wrote comment and explain myself what each line of code did , and u will start doing things on your own.🙂also it is completely normal to not be able to make mechanics you want at start , it takes time 😉
Heh it all depends on the experience you're trying to create! If you're making something like Dark Souls or a rage game then perhaps extreme difficulty is the goal
I tried using Acquire few months ago. There is an option for playable ad, but idk how to make playable ad using unity. Is it even possible to make playable ads using unity.
Hi @@CodeMonkeyUnity From what I read from docs, Playable/Interactive ads uses an universal ad format called MRAID followed by admob, facebook, tiktok, unity ads and other ad providing companies. MRAID is also html based but different from Webgl. Main difference is Webgl build has folders inside main folder, MRAID should have a single file with size limit 1-5 MB
My thing is bro they need a service where you pay & they input it because Unreal has them beat, they need to have a service you just pay them to add the online, & the pricing needs more work compared to Playfab & Unreal

Can you make a video tutorial covering 'Authentication".... Thnx
I covered the absolute basics here th-cam.com/video/1KSKRaacdKE/w-d-xo.html
For the specifics of each auth method the documentation has some nice mini tutorials
i thought Apex Legends was built with the Source engine, not Unity? do they use Unity's relay and such, from within Source?
Yes the game itself is built in their custom Source engine, Unity has tools for the back end which works with any engine
Im curious how netcode stacks up against photon. Im close to launching a beta for my game using photon but Im noticing some delayed stuff. Probably wont convert or anything but Im sure I will be making other multi-player games in the future so im still curious.
How long till they drop these too
What's the difference between Netcode for GameObjects and Relay?
Netcode for Game Objects is a networking library, it's how you define what data on what game objects gets synchronized across the internet
Relay is simply a tool for facilitating that internet connection, the host and all peers connect to a Relay server which handles sending the data packets back and forth
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thanks for this clear explanation. Confusion is resolved.
Let's go conquer the multiplayer!
How about it compared to the Photon Engine?
I haven't used Photon but I would assume they all have pretty much the same features, so differences would be perhaps the cost and the fact that this is the official tool.
I wonder if Mirror is still superior.
I am interested in Relay, login, authentication
Hi Monkey, I love your videos, but I think you miss the main point of multiplay vs relay. Its not about how big your game, its about the type of the game, because if the host is one of the players, data can be overwritten, players can cheat/hack. If you have a game where progress, items are important and you do not want the player to be able to overwrite and be able to get any item they want with a bit of coding knowledge, like an escape from tarkov, then you have to have server side authorization, where server is dedicated and clients always ask the server if they can do something.

Epic works the exact same way, the only difference is if you go over their free limits you have to contact them rather than have the prices up front.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity well from my perspective, when a game service plays out like a Gacha Mobile Game (cheers to Diablo Immortals), then it is not call free. The free part is just a gimmick to lure us into an endless endeavour.
I'm not sure with how things work at Epic game service (price/code), that's why I would love to watch pros like you to talk or go over them in details via videos/post/emails.
The core of the problem is, if I were to make something like Overwatch on steam, where gamers are charged only one time during the purchase of the game, how do I sustain the game server in the long run? Thats why I'm attached to the "free" part of the sentence.
but thx for the heads up~
thats awesome thanks u for the information..
Actually i am not sure which solution i should use rn. While UGS still misses some important features like leaderboards (planned), archivements, account adjustments in the dashboard (give inventory item or refund a purchase), a complete list of the accounts to sort (to spot cheaters) .... LootLocker on the other hand isn't very cheap after the free tier. Do you have any thoughts on the missing features?
Im currently building my game with Steam Networking and Mirror, but im curious if Unity GS is worth pivoting as Id like to make sure the game works on mobile at somepoint down the line, I will wait till i see more content about these tools but very interested!
I want to develop a mobile game so if you could make a tutorial or some sort I would appreciate that very much.
Thanks for all the content you make, it´s really helping :)
I'm interested in Netcode, Authentication, Cloud Diagnostics and analytics
Would love to see some deeper tutorials on Netcode, Relay and Lobby. Would be great to see how to set these up step by step.
I had a Unity workshop on Analytics over six years ago, but authentication would be a nice one!
I want Unity Addressables and just how to make an easy and free multiplayer game, like Mario kart
I think a video of using just one of these tools can provide oudiences lots of ideas to use others
I used the beta version of the tools since they started in October last year. So, I had a few helping people from Unity because I was testing them for a game development class that I am fixing to start in July.
Does Unity services work on android or IOS? (I know netcode for gameobjects does)
Yes, all these services work on all platforms that Unity supports. I think only limitation is Unity Transport currently doesn't work on WebGL
@@CodeMonkeyUnity Thank you very much!
@@CodeMonkeyUnity If you are using Unity 2022+ you can to choose Unity Transport 2.0 and Unity will be working fine on WebGL
Netcode for GameObjects is gonna be great, or at least I hope so!
I'd love to see (all of) this covered in depth in in several videos (similar to the Grid System series). Netcode in particular interests me the most, as I would like to try to implement a peer-to-peer connection (one host, several clients) for a turn-based strategy game.
what do you think is better unity multiplayer or photon ?
I'd love to learn more about Cloud Diagnostics!
This might be the last push i need to make my own game. Especially the mp part seems useful!
Please make a tutorial for Economy Services
Any and all tutorials on this would just be so fantastic
I've never wanted to make a multiplayer game since I wouldn't want to deal with hacking, etc. But all these tools makes it tempting to make something small and fiddle with it.
Yup there are many kinds of multiplayer games you can make. I would never attempt making something hardcore competitive, but looking at these tools it makes me want to try making something more small scale and casual/co-op like Overcooked or Magicka.
@@CodeMonkeyUnity I wonder if it could handle something like Pokemon Mystery Gifts. I know a couple indie developers wanting to do something similar.
Please do multiplayer tutorial
E
Would love to see more on cloud save
This is amazing ngl. I'm definitely gonna start making games with this as I've never really dabbled in the "multiplayer" category of game design as it looked to complicated for my smol brain but I've always wanted to and now I can!
Yup thanks to these awesome tools it has never been easier to make multiplayer games!
I'm not all the way through the video but is this basically Unity's way of doing multiplayer without using third party stuff like Photon? Similar to how Unreal supports its own multiplayer?
Yes, I believe Relay would be equivalent to Photon (although I haven't used Photon but I assume it's P2P)
Hello, Can Anyone Please Help me Because I am stuck jn watching tutorials, I am unable to make a single line of code, in my own, Can anyone give me the solution
Just try to make simple game( like simple runner game, saving ur player from coming obstacle or something like that) the thing is u don’t try to completely understand that tutorial but just replicate that video code line by line. What i did in past was watched a tutorial and then wrote comment and explain myself what each line of code did , and u will start doing things on your own.🙂also it is completely normal to not be able to make mechanics you want at start , it takes time 😉
This is very impressive
I like when, at about 15:10, you say 'If all your players are dying on the first level, then this is how you could make it easier or *harder'*
Heh it all depends on the experience you're trying to create! If you're making something like Dark Souls or a rage game then perhaps extreme difficulty is the goal
I tried using Acquire few months ago. There is an option for playable ad, but idk how to make playable ad using unity. Is it even possible to make playable ads using unity.
Hmm interesting question, I haven't used it so not entirely sure, but since it's all about tiny size I would assume it's perhaps WebGL based?
Hi @@CodeMonkeyUnity From what I read from docs, Playable/Interactive ads uses an universal ad format called MRAID followed by admob, facebook, tiktok, unity ads and other ad providing companies. MRAID is also html based but different from Webgl. Main difference is Webgl build has folders inside main folder, MRAID should have a single file with size limit 1-5 MB
My thing is bro they need a service where you pay & they input it because Unreal has them beat, they need to have a service you just pay them to add the online, & the pricing needs more work compared to Playfab & Unreal
3:00 - Lol Garbaj just released a video complaining about haw bad the servers are in Apex Legends. And to think it's all Unity's fault.
