    Software Architecture of an MMO David Salz [email protected] Who am I? David Salz 15 years in the industry CTO, Co-Founder of Sandbox Interactive 35 people based in Berlin we only do Albion Online! In this talk: What is Albion Online? Middleware + Design Decisions Server Architecture How we use Unity (and how not) Albion Online Sandbox MMORPG Cross-Platform (Windows/OSX/Linux/Android/iOS) One World (no „Shards“ or „Servers“, not even for different platforms) Player-Driven Economy (everything is player-crafted) No Character Classes („you are what you wear“) Strong focus on PvP + Guilds Hardcore („Full Loot“ in PVP Areas) Pay-to-play model 4 years in the making Currently in Closed Beta w/ 80.000+ „founding“ players „Release“ in Q4/2016 Albion Online The initial pitch (2012) Play-crafted equipment, buildings One World (like EVE Online) Guild vs. Guild Territotorial conquest Top-Down perspective + Combat (like League of Legends) Simple graphics, „can even be 2D“ PVP focus, no PVE, no Mobs, no Dungeons Release in 2013 Middleware Selection Engine Selection Unity made sense – inexpensive, accessible Cross-Platform was a „target of opportunity“ Database Selection One world need a very scalable database, NoSQL Cassandra sounded suitable still use SQL for query-heavy problems Networking Middleware Photon! can use C# on server (like in Unity!) works with all Unity platforms Apache Cassandra NoSQL Database Originally developed by Facebook Open Source (Apache-License) Java Concept: everything

    Deterministic Simulation What modern online games can learn from the Game Boy David Salz CTO, Sandbox Interactive Who am I? CTO, Co-Founder of Sandbox Interactive 15 years in the industry Albion Online: Sandbox MMORPG Cross-Platform (Windows/OSX/Linux/Android/iOS) Player-Driven Economy (everything is player-crafted) Strong focus on PvP + Guilds Currently in Beta w/ 120.000+ „founding“ players Using Unity Engine Agenda Deterministic Simulation – A short reminder How RTS-style games use it How MMO-style games can still use it! The pitfalls: How to do it and what to avoid A few tricks with deterministic randomness A few examples from Albion Online Gameboy Multiplayer Link cable had very limited throughput … as in: a few bytes per frame and player Syncing complex game state is impossible Instead: used like a controller cable! Deterministic simulation on all devices Frame updates are synced (effectively „lock-stepping“) Still used on DSi and 3DS Deterministic Simulation? This should be an old hat, but… Deterministic: same input same output Input[i] × State[i-1] = State[i] where i is the simulation step number S[0] S[1] S[2] S[3] I[1] I[2] I[3] Given State[0] and same sequence of inputs Input[1..n] … all clients will produce same Sequence State[1..n] Deterministic Simulation! This is cool because: Only need to send State[0] and Inputs through network! Only Inputs if State[0] is known Can save replays by saving only Inputs! You can debug replays of bugs! Difficulties: one mistake and the clients „desync“ must be independent of frame/thread timings requires lock-stepping for online games Late join requires you to send State[n] Deterministic Simulation vs.
