What’s new?
FIXED
- A second ping interval being initialized when connecting was confusing setting of server time.
- Wrong server time offset calculation, larger than should be
ADDED
- setServerTime() to force server time being (re-) set with next ping
CHANGED
- Server time only gathered once at start to be used as offset.
- Policy File loading, speeds up initial connect when using default policy Port 843
- Debugging is now false per default

What were the reasons to use an online game engine/network middleware?
Matt: The use of middleware let us leverage someone else’s expertise. It got us up and running faster, and leaves us more time to focus on making a great gameplay experiences.
What were the main reasons to choose Exit Games Photon for “The Mummy”?
Matt: First, Photon’s proven Unity support. We’re using Unity for ‘the Mummy Online, so this was a must-have. Second Photon’s use of C# allows us to use the game scripting language on both the server and client. Third, the support of reliable UDP also a must-have for any MMO. And lastly, Photon’s pricing made sense.
From your point of view: What are the advantages of Photon over its competition?
Matt: We evaluated other products, but found Photon’s feature to be the best fit for our needs. The combination of: UDP, binary sockets, C# to write the server code, plus a great Unity SDK, was hard to beat.
Thanks Matt!
Matt Mahon is Technical Director of Schell Games which is developing “The Mummy” MMO for Bigpoint.
