How An Internet Based Spaceship Game Works

By Erick H. Hane


There are lots of distinct options for gamers who want to find a fun online spaceship game that allows them to connect with other players in the virtual world. MMORPG's, or massively multiplayer online role playing games, are now being developed that feature futuristic worlds and space battles with excellent graphics. The popular genre of role playing games, or RPG's, functions as the basic building block upon which the more advanced system architecture of MMORPG's are established; they rely on the Internet to keep the game running. What are some of the techniques game designers use to create a believable, immersive gaming environment online?

Any MMORPG game, including a spaceship game that allows for massively multiplayer features, normally ask you to log on to their server before you can start playing. This allows the gaming company to keep an instance of the game running constantly so that players from around the world are always able to log on and the gaming environment is in a constant state of change, just like the real world. The client software you need to enter the game from your computer is often sold and then a monthly charge is imposed to pay for the maintenance of the servers; a growing number of free games are also being developed and can be run directly in a Web browser.

The server system that a large number of online spaceship game makers use enables you to play together with lots of other gamers in a way not previously possible in console games. Your PC is running a client program, but the game itself is really on the game studio's servers; you and all the other players are just logging on to the game. The server system is what makes chatting through text and voice with other players possible in the game; it also enables you to interact with them in real time.

Browser based RPG's were once viewed as simple and rather poor graphically, but that is changing as designers take advantage of new technology. The majority of these games are free for users, though they may contain purchasable premium content or in-game advertisements.

You can spend many hours exploring the world of your favorite spaceship game and develop an excellent character that you can be proud of. The unique design of such games enables you to play from home but find yourself in a massive world filled with thousands of other gamers just like yourself.
