Abune.Server

ABUNE stands for 'Actor Based Udp Network Engine'.

This game server implementation is a based on Akka.net and provides a highly scalable actor based runtime primarily for games based on .NET core (like f.e. unity based games).

Key features

large player count - linearly scaling of network, cpu and memory with Akka.NET cluster technology
huge game worlds - nearly unlimited amount of game objects using Akka.NET sharding technology
low latency - reach every object and client within one hop in less than 10 ms using the reactive nature of Akka.net
realiable udp - quality of service layer on top of udp protocol
single sign on - authenticate clients using external access tokens based on JWT JWT.io
unity client samples - WORK IN PROGESS/COMING SOON different unity client implementation samples (FPS, MMO, RACING,...)

Concept

Game system

Restrictions

no lockstep support due to massive parallelism
restricted server side game logic due to light weight actor based system (client quorum is planned for anti cheat to support self-hosted trusted-client instances)

Getting started

Start the server locally using VS 2019 - Open src/Abune.Server.sln and press F5
Deploy single server instance using docker - Just run docker run abunedotnet/abune-server:0.1.0
Deploy load balanced server cluster using kubernetes / Azure AKS - See Setup Azure Kubernetes Cluster
