Hey,
I'm trying to figure out how to add Online Multiplayer To my game. I already have a lot of content in it already, along with a second player character that works just fine with typical local multiplayer conventions. However, what I want to do is make it so that my game has a Host and Join feature that allows people to connect using their versions of the game and play together. Much like what Steam Games have where they just connect to each other.
I'm new to this process, so I don't know everything when it comes to servers and such, but I would like it if I could make the game work so that a dedicated server project or version of the game isn't required, only two players connecting to each others game. No separate server entity required. (Like the host has the guest join the game, and the guest sends and receives information from the host game. Preferably using the content I made already.)
I watched this video as a reference, but it doesn't have what I want. If there is anything I am missing, or If I'm just being an idiot, please let me know.
Also PS. I'm using GMS2 V2.2, Thought I'd include that because I'm not sure if that changes anything.
