Medievan

[Endi]

Dear friends,

I am Ender KILICOGLU, I am using GWT from beginning, we realized many business projects using GWT and now I want to announce our game project, Medievan, which includes a GUI being developed by using GWT and probably one of the biggest GWT project as I know. We wanted to share on GWT channel to demonstrate what can be done else using GWT.

We've been working on it for a couple of years now and we are ready to start getting people's opinions on it, so give it a play and let us know what you think.

Given that you're reading this, you're one of the first players of our game while it's in beta form. We really want to hear your feedback and ideas, as well as any bugs you find. Feel free to post on our forum (http://forum.medievan.com) or to send email to Medievan Support at medi...@elektromarket.com.

Medievan is a city building game; we think that player who likes Civilization or Heroes Might & Magic series will love our game also. It has many common feature with strategy and RPG games like; city management, heroes, quests, alliances, technologies. Still we believe that we have so many innovative and not seen features for such web games like; free hero movement on world map, war simulation and replay.

We also developing android client and I would like to share technical information about our technology also on a following post.

You can register and play using following link:

Thank you for your time.

Nice Awesome,Apart from GWT have you mixed any other framework

Endi,

Looks neat and very professional! Your server in Istanbul is very slow though. However, I noticed you've got some resources on Amazon S3. 

You can serve the entire app from S3 and thus via CloudFront, which will give worldwide players a great experience. It takes a little work, but we hammered out the details on this thread.

Good Luck!

Joseph,

Thanks for suggestion, We also still evaluating this option but our backed requires lots of memory (48gb+) because everythings in memory, dont worry still persisted using Prevayler transaction software so nothing lost. I would like to share technical details in feature, I hope it will gave some idea about system.

Mohammed,

GWT side is only GUI and we have java backend, its j2ee spring application. We call it as framework which is highly configurable using xml description. So simply its like game application container.

Endi,

My apologies. I mean that you can allow S3/Cloudfront to serve all static resources (html/js/img/tile/sound) so that your servers don't have to carry this load. Given that GWT makes all of the UI into static resources, this means your entire UI needs no dedicated machines. Since CloudFront allows forwarding, yourDomain.com/api/ can pass through to your backend servers, and if you return cache headers (i.e. 10min) you can let the CDN buffer your API as well. Given S3/CloudFront are nearly infinitely scalable, it might make life easier when things go viral for you (which we hope they do!).

Anyway, I was just noting how wonderful GWT is with CDN's, since you can make a app server that is just an API server, which is much cleaner than the typical Java, everything in one massive .war option.

BTW, 48GB is huge! Sounds like a fun challenge. It would be great to learn more details of your app as it is developed further. Please do keep us informed.

Sincerely,

Joseph

Thanks for suggestions,
but mostly already in place like you described.
We are serving (except login and registration) js and other images on s3 cloud, only rpc requests and map images uses our server.
We will migrate map images on a feature release still didnot know till you said request forwarding, i will check it thanks
