Keynote: The Multiplayer Compass
summary
Claims Photon runs 1.4 billion monthly players across 4,000+ games and powers titles like Goose Goose Duck (600k+ CCU), Stumble Guys (≈160M installs, #2 downloads) and Match Masters (top 100 grossing). Outlined engines: Photon Quantum (deterministic physics for lag resilience) and Photon Fusion (200+ players, 60Hz demo), plus a built tournament system and sample 200-player battle-royale. Advises concrete tactics: fast matchmaking, bots for early sessions, UGC tournament codes, and spots to disrupt—match‑3 and casino genres lack real multiplayer.
