TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Soft Gear announces the server solution "Strix Cloud" for online game development, with a trial service limited to 111 accounts starting from November 1st, 2018.
Background
Starting next year,
5G (5th generation) network operation will commence, further increasing
achievable speeds and connection counts. For games and many
applications, stable and high speed server technology is required. In
order to provide network and server technologies more easily our company
has been promoting cloud computing for server solutions. We have
developed "Strix Cloud" - a highly scalable solution for online game
development.
About Strix Cloud
Strix Cloud
is a cloud version of "STRIX ENGINE" - a server solution developed for
real-time action MMO games. With Strix Cloud it is possible to create a
real-time server with just one click. Server development is very easy,
as only simple modifications are required. Some of its strengths include
the ability to process large numbers of messages at high speed and
simultaneously connect a lot of users, which makes it viable for online
games with near real-time nature.
The released Strix Cloud ver
1.0.0 contains Unity tools for easier client-side development. By using
them the online game creation becomes very easy.
[Features of Strix Cloud]
• Set up game servers using web interface
Server
programming is unnecessary, because the setup of the game server is
completed with simple operations on the web interface. Even when
increasing the number of servers, you can easily scale out using the
same interface.
• Ability to handle a large number of simultaneous connections and
high-speed processing of messages
As a high-performance server
solution, Strix Cloud servers can handle a large number of concurrent
connections and process messages at high-speed, which makes it a good
candidate for any kind of game genres - from social games to real-time
action ones.
• Many built-in helper functions for online game development
Strix
SDKs contain many functions necessary for on-line game development, such
as matching, replication (object synchronization), webhooks etc. In
addition, Unity SDK plugin contains property synchronization and RPC,
which makes handling the game-specific communication processing even
easier.
