This is a short progress update video where I showcase a new Party feature for the MMO game in development.

The party system will allow users to form a party and invite other players. I noticed during implementation that there were numerous edge cases to capture, so it wasn’t as straightforward as I expected initially.

Simple ones for example:

  • inviting player who’s already in party
  • deleting party if last member exits
  • only members can invite/kick players
  • always at least 1 admin in party

and many others. each edge case is quite small and easy to implement, but its easy to lose track of them all.
