Megacity-Metro Overview

Megacity-Metro is an action-packed, shooter game based on the original Megacity sample. It leverages the power of Netcode for Entities for an immersive, multiplayer experience that can support 128+ players simultaneously. The latest DOTS packages and Unity Gaming Services (UGS) enhances the Megacity-Metro user experience.

Getting Started

Important Note Before You Begin

The Megacity-Metro sample is large, so the first time cloning and playing the sample may take more time than expected. Subsequent plays should load much quicker because of caching.

First time clone and load time estimates:

• Cloning the Megacity-Metro repo: Up to 20 min
• Opening the project with library build: Up to 20 min
• Building the project for each platform for the first time: Up to 50 min. Navigate to Project Settings > Other Settings > Configuration > C++ Compiler Configurationand set Debug if you need to compile faster than optimal.

To get the Megacity-Metro sample, you can clone the project using Git. Please note that direct download of the project is not currently supported for this repository.

Clone the Project

Before you can clone the project, you must install Git Large File Support (LFS). Megacity-Metro uses Git LFS to handle all large assets required locally. Refer to Git LFS installation options for instructions on Windows and Mac.

Quick Start

After you clone the project, follow these steps to start playing:

1. Install a compatible Unity Editor version; we highly recommend using the version specified in ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt. During installation, make sure to include Windows/Mac Build Support (IL2CPP), Windows/Mac Dedicated Server Build Support, Android/iOS Build Support (if you plan to build for mobile devices), and Linux Dedicated Server Build Support.
2. To add the project to the Unity Hub, click the Add button and select the root folder of the cloned project.
3. Open the Menu scene located in Assets/Scenes/Menu.
4. Click the Play button to start.
5. Start the Single Player mode. Multiplayer requires more setup which will be explained next.
