Building a Multiplayer RPG with Meteor & Flutter (1): My Learning Journey + Basic game features

To be honest, I don’t know where I’m going with this. But the stack seems interesting and the challenge is pretty cool. So let’s see ?

I will share with you my step by step learnings and progress along with the open source repository of the game.

What are we going to build ?

The goal is to build a multiplayer cross-platform RPG, with a Pokemon’s like feeling and the usual RPG’s features.

Unless a great idea pops out in the process, my focus will be on features rather than the story or game’s concept.

This project is an opportunity to try some stuff out. What I am interested in are the mechanics of this kind of game from a developer point of view.

Why this project ?

I am currently working in a company using Meteor, so I am pretty familiar with it. I have also been a huge fan of Flutter for a while.

So when I heard about dart_meteor, I had to give it a try.

I was searching for a suitable project and remembered my colleagues’ work on Lemverse. I thought that creating this type of game would be a great learning opportunity.

The stack

Meteor is a full-stack Javascript web framework. Applications are real time by default, and you can reuse code between the front-end…
