With hundreds of NPCs and different quests, features like the Travel log and achievement system keep track of progress. Thousands of creatures are ready to fight, above and below ground, and as players level up they can compare themselves on a detailed stats website. The engine Marauroa provides a simple way of creating games on a portable and robust server architecture. Marauroa manages the client server communication and provides an object orientated view of the world for game developers.

Skynet is a lightweight online game framework which can be used in many other fields. Skynet is a lightweight framework designed for online game servers. Although from the feedback of the Community , it's not limited as a game server framework. On the Uses page, it shows a few projects that have used or currently using Skynet, but there are way more projects than listed. And welcome to be the next user. For Linux, install autoconf first for jemalloc. For FreeBSD , use gmake instead of make. Skynet now uses a modified version of lua 5.4.2 for multiple lua states. Official Lua versions can also be used as long as the Makefile is edited. With Socket API and SocketChannel , which makes it easier to implement socket pool and reconnect, you can use Skynet to call socket even asynchronously. Skynet doesn't force a specific protocol, you can come up with your own design.

Ever played a competitive game with a friend in which one of you hosted the server on their own machine? Ever thought that it's unfair that one person's ping is zero and the other one's is 80? This is an open-source program that can emulate constant ping, ping spikes and packet losses. Download, extract wherever you want, launch the executable and read the instructions that are conveniently placed in the main window of the program. This program allows gamers to fake their ping and packet loss. Only games which allow direct IP connections are supported - this program will not emulate the game server and will not advertise itself on any master server of any game. The idea is this: game client -> proxy -> game server Demonstration video: http://youtu.be/2VWNhmfD1Qk
