CloudRetro
DESCRIPTION
CloudRetro provides an open-source cloud gaming platform for retro games. It started as an experiment for testing cloud gaming performance with WebRTC and Libretro, and now it aims to deliver the most modern and convenient gaming experience through technology. Theoretically, in cloud gaming, games are run on remote servers and media are streamed to the player optimally to ensure the most comfortable user interaction. It opens the ability to play any retro games on a web-browser directly, which are fully compatible with multi-platform like Desktop, Android, IOS. In ideal network condition and less resource contention on servers, the game will run smoothly as in the video demo. Because I only hosted the platform on limited servers in US East, US West, Eu, Singapore, you may experience some latency issues + connection problem. You can try hosting the service following the instruction the next section to have a better sense of performance.
Features
- Game logic and storage is hosted on cloud service. It reduces the cumbersome of game initialization. Images and audio are streamed to user in the most optimal way using advanced encoding technology
- The game is run on web browser, the most universal built-in app. No console, plugin, external app or devices are needed
- The game can be played directly without any extra effort to set up the gaming emulator or platform
- Follow the idea of crowdplay(TwitchPlaysPokemon), multiple players can play the same game together by addressing the same deeplink
- The first time in history, you can play multiplayer on Retro games online. You can try Samurai Showndown with 2 players for fighting game example
- The infrastructure is designed to be able to scale under high traffic by adding more instances
