[C++과 언리얼 엔진으로 만드는 MMORPG 게임 개발 시리즈] Part4: 게임 서버

This is a game development lecture for those who are preparing for a job as a game programmer with the goal of completing their portfolio, and those who want to challenge themselves with game development using C++ and Unreal Engine. The goal is to develop high-level 3D MMORPG games and acquire sufficient knowledge to join a game company as a new employee.

In this series, we will learn the necessary skills step by step to create a 3D MMORPG game using C++ and Unreal, based on free assets provided by Unreal. Let's take on the challenge together!


You can make something like this ✨

You will gain the ability to implement even a simple 3D MMORPG game. (Sample portfolio clip)


What you'll learn 📚

Game server?

It is a program that mediates multiple players to play games together online .
It operates the MMORPG world with battles, items, quests, achievements, AI, etc.
He acts as a controller who notifies various players of information about the game world.




The weather is leaking!
Everyone wonders, but no one tells them.
Revealing the secrets of a server's knowledge.

Part 4 is a lecture on designing and implementing game servers, the flower of MMORPGs. Unreal Engine and Unity Engine are dividing the game client market, but there is no absolute engine for game servers, and most companies utilize their own network libraries. The requirements are very different depending on the game plan and genre, and there is also the problem of not being able to effectively utilize external engines without basic knowledge of servers.

Server programmers are the most highly paid in gaming companies, and they are a job group that develops attractive programs that control the game world. Many job seekers are applying for the server part.

However, unlike client knowledge that can be found relatively easily, it is difficult to find professional books or lectures on game servers. Why is that? In order to create and apply a game server, knowledge of various fields such as C++, multi-threading, operating system, network, and database is required, but it is very difficult to systematically organize and explain this from beginning to end, and people with such knowledge are relatively rare.

In this lecture, you will learn step by step how to build a game server from the basics that many people are curious about. If you understand all the contents covered in the lecture, you will be able to build a solid foundation that will allow you to adapt without difficulty to any project as a new server programmer.

Q&A 🙋‍♀️

Q. What is the lecture environment?

All series are produced assuming a Windows environment, and there is no additional explanation for macOS.

Q. Can non-majors also take the course?

We will proceed assuming that there is absolutely no player knowledge, but the difficulty level of the entire series is quite high due to the characteristics of C++ and servers. If you are completely new to programming, we recommend [ Game Development Series with C# and Unity ], which has a lower overall difficulty level.

Q. Please tell us what prompted you to start this course.

Personally, I remember having a hard time when I first started studying servers because there was no reference material.

After getting a job, I compared the actual live MMORPG code and realized many of the errors in my code that I had created through headings. I thought that if there had been a class that briefly covered the entire content of MMORPG development from the basics to the end, I would have saved time and suffered less.

I hope this class will serve as a guide for you to get started with MMORPG games.

Q. If I buy one part, do I get the other part for free?

Each part is manufactured independently and sold separately.

Q. Will I be able to get a job if I study this series?

It is impossible to know because everyone grows at different rates and many variables come into play when it comes to employment.
However, if you have an online 3D game portfolio and knowledge of game development, graphics, servers, and algorithms, your chances of getting a job will increase dramatically.

소개

해킹 공부를 위해 순전히 호기심으로 시작한 게임 개발인데...
시간이 흘러 어느덧 8년차 게임 개발자가 되었습니다.
"이래서 언제 게임을 만들지~?"
한숨 나오는 기초 문법부터 시작해서,
차츰 만들어가는 나만의 게임 세상.
그리고 그 세상에 접속한 다수의 플레이어를 볼 때의 뿌듯함.
공부를 할 수록, MMORPG의 매력에는 헤어나올 수가 없습니다.
제가 느낀 감동을 여러분도 느낄 수 있으면 좋겠네요.

    4학년에 전공자인데도 불구하고 정말 정말 난이도 높았고 어려웠습니다. 반복 시청과 게시판에 질문을 남겨야 겨우 이해될 정도였지만 강사님이 친절하게 답변을 해주셔서 학습에 무리가 없었습니다.

      처음에는 TCP서버 구성을 위한 뛰어난 커리큘럼 때문에 수강을 했기 때문에, 게임서버를 만들고싶은 생각은 전혀 없었지만 모든 예제가 친게임적으로 진행되다 보니 저도 모르게 게임개발을 하고싶게끔 만드는 강의입니다! 듣다보니 시간적으로 여유가 생길 때 DirectX 강의까지 들어보고 싶게 만드네요! 다만 DB쪽은 ODBC를 통해서 진행되는 과정들이, 하라고 하면 할 수 있겠지만... 너무너무 하기가 싫어서 깔끔하게 포기해버렸습니다!ㅎㅎㅎ 난이도 높음 주의인 락프리큐보다 더 싫었어요... ORM으로 스타트 끊은 사람 입장에서 ODBC 레벨로 내려가기가 너무 싫네요ㅜ 생리적으로 거부반응이..ㅠ 정말 필요하다 싶으면 다시 돌아와서 들어야겠지만, 지금 당장은 DB는 포기하고 TCP서버는 메시지큐 처럼 활용할 생각입니다. 종합적으로 DB제외 하고 다 들어본 결과 상당히 만족스러운 커리큘럼이었습니다. 다만 과정 자체가 상당히 난이도가 높아서 한 번 듣고나서 계속 복습하셔야지만 큰 발전을 이룰 수 있을 것 같습니다!

        아이들 재워놓고 자기전에 1~2시간 짬을 내 강의를 듣습니다. 강의를 듣기전엔 일과 육아에 지쳐 아무것도 하기 싫은 상태인데, 강의와 VS를 키는데 까지만 성공하면 꿀잼 보장입니다. 서버쪽은 제가 전혀 지식이 없는 분야여서 더 그런지, 드라마 같이 보자는 와이프를 뿌리쳐가며 정말 많은걸 배워가고 있습니다. 알찬 강의 감사합니다.

          정말 좋은 강의입니다. 강의를 들으면서 개념만 얻어가고 실제 구현은 제가 스스로 해보려고 하는 편인데, 버그 엄청 터지고 디버깅 계속 하다보니, 왜 강사님이 코드를 그렇게 짰는지 이해가 가더라고요. 서버 프로그래밍도 많이 배웠지만, 그게 전부는 아닌 것 같습니다. 처음 강사님 코드를 볼 때 왜 저렇게 짜는지 이해가 안가고 굳이? 라는 생각이 많이 들었고 제 방식대로 코딩했습니다. 그런데 이제 알겠네요. 강사님 코드는 되게 정제된 코드라는걸요... 진짜 처음에 가격 보고 비싸보여서 구매할까 고민 많이 했는데, 지금 느끼기엔 전혀 비싸지 않네요. OT때 강사님이 솔직히 본인이 노력해서 공부한 지식을 푸는게 아깝다는 식으로 말씀하셨는데... 이제 이해가 갑니다.

            I needed to use Google Translate to understand Korean, but even with the language barrier. I think this is a very organised way to present how game servers are written. Thank you for making this available. If you are not Korean, I would only recommend buying this course if you have sufficient knowledge of C++ and general knowledge about how computers work and how sockets work. ( To anyone reading this, I know this is a Korean course. However, I couldn't find anything near this quality in English.)
