Making multiplayer games is hard
Do a mistake and you'll waste weeks.Thousands of $$$.Destroy your team's morale.
You think I'm exaggerating?Watch this video for 3 minutes:
Here's what can go wrong:
Cheating and
hacking
Players exploit vulnerabilities to get your paid content. For free.
They break the rules of the game to get unfair advantage
Sync
issues
Players teleporting while moving
Events happening at different times
Lag ruining the game experience
Unresponsive player input
Crash + high server costs
Games crashing because the infrastructure is not set up to scale
Expensive monthly bills due to unoptimized usage of CPU, RAM and Bandwidth
73% of experienced studios realize this too late, wasting ~379.000$ in the process.But what if you could avoid all of this?

Hey! I'm Paolo.
I spent the last 12 years running gaming studios and working on multiplayer games at scale, hands-on.Here's what I discovered:
79% of experienced teams have no idea of how multiplayer games work.
They never heard of:
Client/server authoritative models
Prediction & reconciliation, rollback netcode
Serverless... And much more!
