About

This is my hobby experiment in creating an MMO game. Many years ago, before I became a backend developer, I tried to implement a project under the name Avolt Online. Now I have started a new project with the same name.

This will be a small and cheap project purely for fun.

Background

I am a backend developer with 8 years of experience. Several years have passed since my last attempt to make an online game (avolt-online, res-universe). I learned quite a lot about the network, infrastructure and how to write large projects.

WIP

I've been working on the project's infrastructure. I experimented with building a dedicated server from Godot in a .NET Docker image. Building from source doesn't work yet, but I managed to package the docker image from an already compiled server. This is needed so that the game server can be automatically updated. The screenshot shows a site listing servers, where connected development servers are visible:

At the moment there are still no public servers, the game needs further development.

I've finished developing the chat processor on the server. Now there's a command parser and several working commands, such as whisper /w and respond to whisper /r.

On the mine EU server, installed an authentication server, configured its automatic restart, update, etc. Switched the client to the global auth server instead of the local one. 

And made a list of system requirements for the client:
