Question about web hosting split for solo play vs multiplayer game (same game) - see description
TLDR: I’ve built a single player browser game which is static assets and 0 cost, I plan to release multiplayer which will cost me - would you split into 2 different URLs eg “multi.myurl.gg” vs “myurl.gg” etc (placeholder URLs) Hey reddit, I’ve built a browser game in my spare time and have a question about potentially hosting on 2 different URLs. My specific issue is - right now the game is single player only + bots, and cost wise most of the game is free for me to host at any scale due to the way I’ve architected single player. This includes sharing features and things like watching replays, I could effectively have a billion users and still pay the same as when I have 1 user. This is great! But, once I introduce multiplayer, I have to pay for Cloudflare workers, storage, egress fees potentially etc for those same sharing and replay features. I’ve estimated these costs to be quite low even at scale, but I’m extremely frugal and want to always keep the single player experience alive. The multiplayer experience is more dependant on how well it performs with the public. So I was thinking of hosting single player at something like “myurl.gg” and multiplayer at something like “multi.myurl.gg” for a clean separation of concerns. Am I over-engineering here?? @mods this is not self promotion, I’ve used placeholder URLs etc submitted by /u/ComfortablePeace8859 [link] [留言]
