Hello. Is there a generally recommended method for creating a lobby system with Normcore? I cannot find any documentation or sample code regarding this specific topic.
thank you
I think it depends on the type of lobby / matchmaking system you’re looking for. The easiest method I’ve seen adopted is to include a predefined list of public room names that users can join as a Normcore room, but I’ve also seen folks use Unity Game Services and Epic Online Services for matchmaking here.
Personally, I find that the needs of a lobby system quickly grow and become very unique to your title, so I usually like to go the route of using a custom nodejs server + web sockets that all of my users can communicate with. The service can assign folks to public lobbies, handle sending invites, user account management, matchmaking, etc and it’s easy to add new features as your title grows.

I need one too, was hoping to find some sample / template / project with it.
We’ll be publishing a Normcore Lobby system in ~2 months or so. Keep an eye out on our site for it!
