Hi @endel , @codestitch , side-note, beside the allowReconnection I though some additional will be required to make it work, like express-session or so? https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-session
Here is the related topic: https://discuss.colyseus.io/topic/139/persistent-sessions/4

• I think https://github.com/endel/colyseus-express-session this is what you need @codestitch

Hi @SpencerWF-0 , my two cents since I've started from scratch and without any experience as well: I would recommend you to keep it as simple as possible (mostly considering this would be a first project, right?), like single language would be better, NodeJS and a JS client could be much easier then the mix you've commented. Also, Colyseus is a full Game Server on it's own, it can handle all communications, though you will need to implement you own game logic on it, so I'm not sure how much it can be integrated with Python Flask (which I don't know nothing about).
Hope this helps :)

Hello everyone!
I'm back on the project and v4.0.0-beta.7 is about to be released!
https://github.com/damian-pastorini/reldens/pull/51

What's included in this beta?

• Issues fixed! 5 issues were reported and the 5 were fixed https://github.com/damian-pastorini/reldens/issues
• Battle mode is been implemented, you will be able to start a battle and set a battle time-off which will be considered after the last player attack (still incomplete since there are none rules for what happens on this mode, but it's already available to setup any).
• PvP with (for now), short distance attack was implemented using the battle mode.
• A new "Forest" map was included with some enemies. PvE is still in progress but will be available with the beta.7 release.
• A path finder was implemented (though it still can be improved, it's working for a start point), now you can click on the scene and the player will move to that point. With this implementation enemies will also go after you.
• Health bar is now visible for the current player.
• Some new animations are been implemented and others were fixed: hit player and die.
• All dependencies were updated: Colyseus 0.12.x, Phaser, etc.

Here's a small video to show you the progress!

Hi @enishi , how do you handle the 3d on the server side? I don't have a clue about Unity, just been curious about it.

Alright!

Considering how much behind the v3 was getting I've decided to do a beta release for v4!

This version is available on NPM:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/reldens
And the installation is easier than before:
https://github.com/damian-pastorini/reldens/wiki/New-v4.0.0-beta.6-Installation
For that matter I've created an Skeleton repository:
https://github.com/damian-pastorini/reldens-skeleton

The dev server was updated as well http://dev.reldens.com

And between all the huge refactor now you will find:

• Almost everything now works based in events, so this will allow you implement a lot of customizations without need to rewrite almost anything.
• In any case there are still some configuration files and the idea of having a "game-theme" was implemented, so you could easily use the skeleton theme for start.
• At the same time a lot more stuff is now configurable just by changing some values in the database.
• Maps animations were implemented (in the skeleton example you can see the river moving).
• Objects with animations are also available in both public (broadcast), and private (for single client). For example: the doors will open > the player will change the room > but for the other users that are seeing the door open, a few seconds later the door will be closed.
• A basic NPC was implemented. NPC's are used like another object type that will just respond on specific actions. In the skeleton example you can click on the NPC (the guy with the hat) and it will show a message.
• Targets System was implemented, you can click on any player or NPC, and the target will be selected.
• With targets, short distance attacks are now available, if you are close enough to a player and click on it, then you can click on the action button or press the space bar to attack (for now we only have that action).
• Related to attacks, the stats are now affected, atk and def are (for now) simple compared to validate the attack, and when the attack success (for now always since the atk and the def are the same for all the players), the HP will be reduced.
• And for last! Now we have the Game-Over event when a player that die will be kicked out! Sorry, that was the quickest thing I was able to come up with.

In terms of roadmap, issues and progress tracking I've started to complete the project board with all the tasks: https://github.com/damian-pastorini/reldens/projects/2

Hope you like all the new improvements, I'll keep adding new stuff and fixing the parts that can be improved.

Best,
Damian
