    if you wanted to setup a dedicated server I'd recommend Tom Weilands Small tutorial series on how to connect clients to a dedicated server using a solution called riptide, if you wanted to use your PC at the same time as clients connected I'd recommend looking at the unity demo in the github repository below aswell. https://youtu.be/6kWNZOFcFQw https://github.com/tom-weiland/RiptideNetworking

    There is a package in Package Manager inside Unity Registry called Multiplayer HLAPI or use a low-level Networking API like RiptideNetworking it would be better else just use some other Networking API that you mentioned - Photon or Mirror I had experience with Photon I didn't use Mirror

    Sadly I’m not personally aware of any tutorials for those networking systems but there’s a new open source networking library by Tom Weilandwhichhe’s making video tutorials about.

    Making games isn't an easy thing to do, this is especially true for multiplayer games. Ever since I was 12 years old I wanted to make the ultimate multiplayer game. I first started getting into networking through GameMaker studio engine. I would watch tutorials online, try to understand them and end up just copying code for code. Later on I discovered Unity's Low-Level Multiplayer API (LLMAPI) and it was horrendous to get working. Not to mention the documentation for it was even more horrendous. Then much later I discovered [ENet-CSharp](https://github.com/SoftwareGuy/ENet-CSharp) and fell in love with its [simple approach](https://github.com/SoftwareGuy/ENet-CSharp/blob/master/QUICKSTART-EXAMPLES.md). I later found out that I could just add nuget packages to the .csproj file of Godot Modules project and bam I'm using Godot C# + ENet-CSharp. This is great because I'm super comfortable with the C# language.
