Making a network game with substance usually requires, at the most abstract level, a structure of relationships between objects and properties representing in-game resources and events. Handling these relationships on your client side with any sense of persistence is often impractical, not to mention insecure. If you plan on having server-based resource management logic, persistence and record keeping, this seemingly basic task quickly becomes quite complex… This is where Roar Engine comes in to save the day. Roar’s award-winning platform lets game developers easily and quickly implement player messaging, items and gifts, crafting systems, quests, badges and leaderboards, as well as payment channels and a LUA based server-side scripting solution.
在最抽象的层面上,制作具有实质性的网络游戏通常需要一种表示游戏内资源和事件的对象和属性之间的关系结构。 在客户端以任何持久的感觉来处理这些关系通常是不切实际的,更不用说是不安全的了。 如果您计划使用基于服务器的资源管理逻辑,持久性和记录保持功能,那么看似基本的任务很快就会变得很复杂……这就是Roar Engine节省时间的地方。 Roar屡获殊荣的平台使游戏开发人员可以轻松,快速地实现玩家消息传递 ,物品和礼物,制作系统,任务,徽章和排行榜以及支付渠道和基于LUA的服务器端脚本解决方案。
Server-side logic is just part of the equation. A large number of multiplayer games also require persistent identities and rely on avatar customization as a means of developing player engagement. Creating an avatar customization system requires a system capable of manipulating and tracking a constantly changing datascape of art assets and properties. This is where the highly innovative Vostopia comes in, which promises to be one of the first cross-world universal avatar and player management system.
服务器端逻辑只是其中的一部分。 大量的多人游戏也需要持续的身份,并依赖化身定制作为发展玩家参与度的一种手段。 创建虚拟化身定制系统需要一种能够操纵和跟踪艺术品资产和属性不断变化的数据景观的系统。 这就是高度创新的Vostopia出现的地方,它有望成为第一个跨世界通用化身和玩家管理系统之一。
These excellent services are a cinch to use– just download the plugins, register with the service provider and you’re ready to go. Our first wave is already live on the store, and keep your eyes and ears open for the coming arrival of Roar Engine, inMobi, Treasure Data, Virtual Piggy and xSolla’s plugins.
