Module 10 of 10

Multiplayer, Optimization & Publishing

Lessons

About This Module

This final module covers what happens after your game works: letting players play together, making sure it runs smoothly, and getting it into people's hands. Each one is a skill of its own, and together they turn a project on your computer into a finished game.

You'll start with multiplayer: how a server and clients connect, and how Godot 4 keeps players and their movement in sync across the network. Next comes optimization: using the profiler to find what is slowing your game down, then applying practical fixes to raise your frame rate. Finally you'll publish, exporting your game for PC and the web and uploading it to itch.io so anyone can play it.

That completes the Game Development path. Take everything you've learned into the Projects section and build something of your own.
