  • Score
  • Chat
  • Levels

Controls:
WASD = move
Space = shoot
E = reset position (when your player got stuck up-side-down) Continue reading

Whats surprising is.. this entire 3d application only took me less than 3 weeks (2-3 hours a day) to work with while at my very busy working schedule  of course with a little help from my colleagues 🙂

Multi-user application using Unity3d

I been doing 3d interactive for almost 7 years now and yes, its been really hard to create one. You have to do 3d modeling, rigging, animation, export to compliant format properly, then the hardest thing of all – the coding to make it interactive or a game, then compile for web or offline based application.

Recently, i explored Unity3d and it gives me more power – rapid development – because in less time i  finished my application than other software I used before. Well, unity3d is a game engine – and not a 3d modeling app &  you still have to know Object Oriented Programming (C++/Javascript/Java/Python/As3 or Boo hehehe).  But unity3d has a GUI (like blender3d which is also one of the best software for free) that makes it quite easier than only imagining the 3d scene & objects using a text editors IDE alone.

In just 1-2 weeks i have deployed a simple multi-player 3d game. Yes, its not yet done, but the functionality is almost done. Building a network application really takes heck of time and efforts but with unity3d i can say that “i finally found the one” hehe. Back then it takes months for the same thing/output.

Well, please try my unfinished but working multiplayer 3d game created using unity3d.

Instruction, download and play – see “network.exe” run it –  click start server, copy the zipped file  to another computer with the same network, then type-in the IP address (replace the 192.168.10.1 with the server’s IP address) – then voila – you will see each other’s player (a box that will move & shoot using  WASD & Space keys). By the way there will be lots of gray cube (enemies with programmed Artificial Intelligence & rigidbody/physics) that will chase your player – enemies can be shoot but wont die for now hehehe

try it now – download here!
