The concept of a metaverse—a collective virtual space created by converging virtually enhanced physical spaces and digital environments—has gained tremendous popularity. Our studio aimed to create a metaverse that could host an expansive world with multiple interconnected environments. The challenge was to build this world to be engaging, visually appealing, and, above all, scalable.
We adopted a decentralized architecture, using both Unity 3D for the client-side and Unreal Engine 4 for a robust server-side. This hybrid approach let us create intricate visual elements with Unity while leveraging Unreal Engine 4’s superior handling of complex server logic, especially in massively multiplayer online scenarios.
1. Scalability: Managing a growing number of simultaneous users while ensuring server stability.
2. Interoperability: Seamless interaction between different game worlds and environments.
3. User Experience: Keeping the interface intuitive while offering deep functionality.
● Unity 3D / Unreal engine for client-side development
● Node JS for server-side logic
● Blockchain for secure transactions and ownership records
● SpatialOS for world-building and simulation
We formed two specialized teams: one focused on Unity 3D for front-end tasks like design and user interface, and another centered on Unreal Engine 4 for handling server-side complexities. We implemented SpatialOS to create a seamless, expansive world, and incorporated blockchain to manage assets and transactions within the metaverse.
Post-launch analytics showed a steady influx of users, with a low drop-off rate, indicating that our scalable and visually engaging metaverse was a success. This project opened new avenues for partnerships and expanded our user base significantly.
