One-Person Server Team - Using GAE for Games

Want to develop a game server but are unfamiliar with systems such as Linux and MySQL databases? Don’t know what to do if your servers go haywire when too many players are online, right when the money is rolling in?

Don’t worry. During this talk, Yu-Ren will share his experience in using the Google App Engine to develop the server for Lightning Rangers, an online PvP shooter-strategy-hybrid game. He will discuss how to design several often-seen functions in game servers, drawing from his experience in developing Lightning Rangers—released just this January—as an example.

Speeding-Up Game Production & Deployment with GCP

Pokémon GO was extremely phenomenal and popular all over the world after its launch in 2016, and what backed it up on the server-side was none other than Google Cloud. Its services were built on Google Container Engine (GKE) and utilized the lightweight virtualization technology Docker, and also the open-source container orchestration solution Kubernetes for global deployment. And Pokémon GO certainly is not the only hit game which uses these GCP tools.

As the strategic partner of GCP, CloudMile conducts this panel disucssion, inviting well-known game studios in Taiwan to talk about the experience of building services on top of GCP, and what techniques were involved in the process. One of the GCP representatives will also be present to explain about more possible applications, such as demoing Nuke rendering with Zync in GCP, so that developers can have a more detailed understanding of how to use Google Cloud to speed-up image processing, and the functionalities of GCP console, to save time and cost on backend deployment, maximizing the value and performance of your game projects.
