How to Start Developing a Multiplayer Online Game with Unity: Everything You Need to Know

With this video i would like to get you started with an overview of all the possible paths that you can follow to bring your multiplayer videogame alive.
We will talk about topologies, dedicated servers and listen servers, netcodes (or frameworks), transports and more.
On Frameworks side we will see Netcode for GameObjects, Netcode for Entities, Mirror, Photon FUSION, Photon QUANTUM and FishNet.
The target of the video is everyone who wants to start a multiplayer game for the first time, or those who are still undecided.
I hope this video will help you!
