However, the GPWiki forums are still active! Come say hello.

Quazal is the team behind Net-Z (cross-platform in-game networking system) and Rendez-Vous (lobby and matchmaking system).


[edit]

Net-Z

Available in two flavours

  • object-based - for games with up to 32 players
  • synchronized simulation (SyncSim) - for deterministic games of 2-4 players

It is available for PlayStation® 2, Xbox, Win32 and next-generation platforms. Quazal also has voice communication support through the Voice for Net-Z extension. Net-Z was also awarded the FrontLine Award for Middleware from Game Developer Magazine in 2004.


[edit]

Rendez-Vous

Currently available for PlayStation® 2 and Win32, and does not require Net-Z to function (it will work with other in-game networking code). It is designed as a highly extensible system, and provides many base features including

  • Friends Lists
  • Matchmaking
  • Authentication
  • NAT Traversal
  • Tournaments
  • Downloadable/Uploadable Content
  • Stats Tracking


Quazal operates a developer zone (DevZone) where anyone can come and register, then download the Win32 version of Net-Z for personal use (see related links).
