[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.
