About the Book
This fourth edition includes game design chapters using the Phaser JavaScript Game Framework v2.6.2, CE, v3.x.x, and other Gaming Frameworks for the front-end development. It further analyzes several freely available back-end servers and supporting middleware (such as PHP, Python, and several CMS). This game design workbook takes you step-by-step into massive multiplayer online game creation. It uses the popular gaming frameworks on the client-side browser interfacing into a unique server-side application using WebSockets. It is the only book of its kind to date (January 2017)!
- Part I leads you through 4 chapters on the world of networks, business consideration, MMoG analysis and setting up a workshop.
- Part II Guides you in Multi-player Online Game architecture compared to normal single player games. Lays the foundation for Multi-Player Game Prototypes and reviews a missing aspect in current MMoG development. .
- Part III is 3 chapters on production and development for the client-side, server-side, and MMoG app. This content is what your Phaser tutorials and Phaser Starter-Kits on the market today overlook and never tell you!
- Part IV featured the Rulers of Renown Gaming Rules, Logic and System™. The Emancipation Wars is a Strategic turn-based, multi-player Fantasy Role-Playing Game of high adventure and legendary deeds. Builds armies, hire mercenaries, search out daemonic hordes, conjure magic spells or send your legendary heroes into forsaken ruins. 'The Emancipation Wars' is the initial gaming module of military conquest and liberation. This game provides your initial Adventurer of Renown characters the best place to earn renown as a military leader of the realm. Game Rules, logic, and 4 FREE licenses for 4 MMoG games each license valued at $48 each.
