gonet
A scalable game server skeleton implemented in Go with hub-based architecture for multiplayer games.
What is gonet?
gonet is a game server skeleton implemented in Go that provides a distributed architecture for building multiplayer game backends. It separates concerns into Game Servers (handling player logic), a Hub Server (managing global state and message forwarding), and a Stats Server (collecting analytics data). The framework solves the problem of creating scalable, maintainable game servers with built-in persistence and communication patterns.
Game developers and backend engineers building multiplayer online games who need a production-ready server framework with Go's performance and concurrency features.
Developers choose gonet for its clean separation of server roles, built-in message persistence, and scalable architecture that allows independent restarting of game servers while maintaining system consistency.
