Realtime multiplayer using unity

Hi, i am a unity front end developer and collaborates with backend developer who uses nakama. But we make turn based games. So i have a little idea how data is sent and received. But at home i am trying to make a Bomberman style multiplayer game. Besides learning Go, i am really confused about where to start and what to learn.
Any help or suggestion would be really really helpful…

Hey @TG9six, I recommend reading through the getting started docs and spinning up a local server using Docker: https://heroiclabs.com/docs/install-docker-quickstart/#running-nakama-with-docker-compose

After that I’d take a look at the Nakama documentation on our match API, specifically the authoritative multiplayer documentation since you’ll have a central server managing state: https://heroiclabs.com/docs/gameplay-multiplayer-server-multiplayer/
