Advanced - Isometric Co-Op Multiplayer Template

Description

This well documented, advanced, online-multiplayer template allows for absolute responsive controls/kills/sounds. Creating identical gameplay experiences for every connected player unlike the official multiplayer examples.

This networking scenario is recommended for co-op multiplayer games such as Terraria, Don't Starve Together or Diablo style games, and puts the player experience up front. It is not recommended for PvP setups!

No rubber-banding and no control/kill delays for the controlled character.

Arcade Demo
