Godot 4.0 Multiplayer Template

Multiplayer Template for Godot 4

This Multiplayer Template is designed specifically for Godot 4.0, offering an easy-to-use starting point for developing local multiplayer games. With built-in features that handle player connections, this template allows developers to quickly implement multiplayer functionality into their games.

Key Features:

• Multiplayer Lobby System: Players can create or join multiplayer sessions via an intuitive in-game menu.
• Player Management: Automatically handles adding and removing players, as well as keeping track of their status in the lobby.
• Server Hosting: Host your own local multiplayer sessions or join existing ones with ease.

Simple Shooter Game Example:

The template is built as the base of a simple shooter game, so it includes the following scenes:

• Connection Menu: A scene where players can either create a new game or join an existing session.
• Lobby: A multiplayer lobby where players are managed and prepared before the game starts.
• World: This scene contains a basic example of a shooter game, demonstrating how connections and variable synchronization between players are handled in a multiplayer context.

Whether you're creating a new multiplayer game or adding multiplayer to an existing project, this template provides the core functionality you need to get started fast.

Future Improvements

I plan to continue working on this template and improve it with features such as:

• A template for dedicated servers
• Searching for available games on a server or locally and displaying them in a list
• Adding security validations
• Options for reporting users and games

All these improvements will be added either to the current package or as part of a separate package with a different pricing tier.
