coherence announces that its revolutionary network engine, which redefines the term “effortless” for multiplayer connectivity, is now available.
Coherence is the first network engine that a designer can use without having to code. It provides a powerful toolset that allows developers to create working multiplayer prototypes in minutes. Open, easy-to-use, and highly scalable, it offers everyone from the world’s largest studio to small indie teams a highly intuitive and streamlined way to develop, test, and deploy connected games.
Coherence is exiting beta and launching version 1.0 today. Thanks to client hosting support, developers can now launch games without relying on a consistent managed server structure. Coherence also features full Unity integration, floating point origin for absolute accuracy in large game worlds, lobby rooms and matchmaking, full control over world persistence data, TCP fallback for network restrictions, a fully customizable asset pipeline, object pooling and more.
The wealth of new features introduced with coherence is accompanied by an overhauled user interface that has undergone a complete technical and visual makeover, encompassing both the coherence.io website and the dashboard. The list of improvements includes increased responsiveness, a streamlined design, better accessibility, and improved security.
With a pricing model that starts with a free tier of $0/month and includes enough credits to cover the development needs of most projects, Coherence is now available to try for free. For more successful projects that require more support, Consistency avoids using prepackaged sets of traditional metrics such as concurrent users, bandwidth, data storage, and compute power when calculating costs. Instead, Coherence introduces universal credits that account for significant differences in the resource footprint of different game projects. Unlike virtually every other network engine on the market, Coherence also takes into account that live costs vary depending on whether it’s a weekend evening peak or Monday noon to Monday noon – saving money by billing accordingly.
The consistent pricing model, based on Universal Credits, guarantees maximum efficiency in the use of resources, whether it’s a platform game, a virtual DJ room, a racing simulation game or the next big MMO. With credits, you can avoid the common scenario of online gaming projects with traditional pricing models, where they are limited to a single metric and incur unnecessary additional costs or are frozen until the next billing cycle, despite leaving enough resources unused in other metrics.
“After several years of work, we are very proud to bring our version 1.0 to the world,” said co-founder Dino Patti. “With the new features we’ve developed, we believe our powerful technology will revolutionize the way multiplayer games are designed and developed, creating a more democratized game development environment where everyone dreams about and loves multiplayer.” can track. Dreaming without limits.”
