Beat me! from the very beginning it was to be a physics-based game. So we assumed that it would be a game that would put a heavy load on computer / console components. Being aware of this, we tried to create the game to be as optimized as possible. It is obvious that we did not foresee everything and difficulties arose. Contrary to appearances, most performance problems were related to graphics, not physics. Optimization of shaders, textures and models mainly helped here.
The biggest challenge was to create a cross platform solution for online games.
Methodology / Approach
Firstly, we do research free frameworks and free solutions or any opensource. Opensources are the best because we also can improve it to help others. If we do not find something like this then we are heading towards paid solutions.
Paid solutions that we are using are:
- PuppetMaster - by RootMotion - we use it to give a life to our puppets.
- Photon PUN+ - by Exit games - since Beat Me! will be cross-platform multiplayer game we have to use professional solution for online gaming - Photon is simply the best, easy and optimal.
