Multiplayer Methodology

  • Replicate small, simulate on the client
  • Give clients enough information to prevent constant server request spam (such as cooldowns)
  • Net Relevancy Based: lower irrelevant network traffic when clients are too far away
  • Carefully monitor the amount of replicated variables
  • Variable Replication Conditions (initial, owner only)
  • RPC Events
  • Never trust the client (server validates all combat, quest, crafting, ect. events)

Blueprint Communication

  • As a memory optimization effort, nearly all Blueprint communication is done through Blueprint Interfaces.

Animation

  • Fast Path as much as possible
  • Update Rate Optimization
  • Bone LOD
  • Master Pose Component for the Kitbash Cosmetic system
  • Starter Animation Kit created by Thomas Castle

Number of Blueprints: 365

This product supports Nanite for Unreal Engine 5.0+ and supported platforms should only include Windows, Playstation, and Xbox, as those are the only platforms that officially support Nanite at this time. However, Nanite can be disabled and not affect Vertical Third features.
