1 分•作者: samuelachee•6 个月前
对于无数独立游戏开发者而言，打造下一个热门多人游戏的梦想往往止步于服务器层面。今天，开发领域出现了一位新的挑战者——Project Quik，其目标是通过Sphere Kit的公测来改变这一现状。
Sphere Kit专为弥合服务器端经验不足的开发者之间的差距而设计，它是一个模块化的云平台，可自动化现代在线游戏所需的复杂后端基础设施。
Sphere Kit团队表示，解决“上坡挑战”是他们的目标。“构建多人游戏、强大的玩家管理或集成的货币化，往往感觉像是一场上坡挑战，阻碍了无数创新游戏创意的实现。我们相信，您的创造力应该为您的游戏提供动力，而不是增加服务器方面的烦恼。我们已经让后端变得简单。”
Beta测试者的主要功能
该平台推出了一套工具，用即时集成取代了数月的编码工作：
- 多人游戏：具有“实时调试”功能，可模拟游戏状态，以及“智能匹配”功能，可自动生成团队和会话。
- 可视化数据管理：一个NoSQL数据库，搭配一个交互式查询构建器，可即时生成必要的游戏内代码。
- 即插即用经济系统：集成的游戏内购买和广告系统，绕过复杂的广告网络编码。
- 玩家留存工具：原生支持帐户、好友列表和成就跟踪，以提高可见度。
Project Quik的使命是实现开发民主化，它创建的工具使小型团队能够与大型工作室竞争。“我们相信实现在线游戏开发的民主化，并培养下一波成功的独立游戏，”该团队表示。
为了确保可访问性，Sphere Kit推出了一个免费套餐，适用于最多100个活跃玩家的游戏，允许开发者在没有前期成本的情况下进行原型设计和发布。
欢迎希望卸载服务器工作的独立开发者立即申请公测。
