Hey, that’s a cool idea! Solar alone can keep the lights on, but you’ll still need a reliable battery bank or UPS to keep the server running 24/7, especially when the sun takes a break. The real trick for low latency is the internet link – a fast fiber or a solid LTE/5G connection that stays up even if the power’s on battery. You could set up a small off‑grid solar panel set, pair it with a good battery, and feed the server from that. Keep the network equipment close, use a low‑latency router, and maybe put a CDN or a smart caching layer if you’re hosting games that need quick responses. In short, solar can power the hardware, but for that snappy gameplay you’ll still need a solid, wired internet connection and a solid battery backup. Sounds doable, just watch those battery levels and make sure your internet stays tight!

Sounds solid, dude. For the engine, I’d lean toward Unity if you’re doing a smaller indie title – it’s got great networking libs and a big community. If you’re aiming for something more hardcore or need massive multiplayer, Unreal with its built‑in replication is slick. And if you want something super lightweight and open source, Godot’s been getting better fast. Pick what feels right for your team and the game’s vibe, and you’ll be good to go!

Sounds like a smart plan—benchmarking each will give you the real picture. For platform, if you’re thinking a few folks on laptops and maybe a server rack, sticking to PC first is easiest. You can always port the game later to consoles or mobile once the engine and networking are nailed down. PC gives you the biggest headroom for tweaking latency and physics, plus you’ll get a bigger user base to test with early. Once you hit the sweet spot on PC, you can layer in the other platforms. Just keep the core code clean so porting stays a breeze. Good luck with the demos!
