Greetings, fellow gaming enthusiasts,
We are happy to introduce NetCluster, a network plugin designed to construct relatively large worlds supported by multiple dedicated servers. This plugin caters to a diverse audience, including those who:
- Aspire to scale up their existing multiplayer games to host more players within a larger world.
- Seek a cost-effective solution to implement distributed servers for their ambitious gaming projects.
- Have limited time or engineering resources and desire a user-friendly server programming alternative.
NetCluster effortlessly extends Unreal Networking, enabling efficient actor communication between dedicated servers. With minimal adjustments, you can harness the potential of existing Unreal Engine modules for dedicated servers.
To explore the plugin in depth and get started with it, we have a draft documentation available at Overview | Unreal Engine NetCluster Plugin (clustech.com.au). Additionally, a video introduction awaits to facilitate your journey.
