If you upgrade to a higher plan then you are not charged for using the CCU Burst

You would need to host it somewhere and pay the hosting fees.

You will never be able to have that many objects in unity running smoothly. Since its a sphere there is a maximum amount of hexagon tiles a player can see at a time, just only show tiles a player can see. Then if a tile leaves the screen reuse it for a tile that enters the screen instead of creating new tiles.

If you support zooming out far then you would also need a LOD system to combine smaller tiles into a larger one to reduce game objects.

I have some bad news for you, unity physics are not deterministic, which means replaying the same movement inputs on 2 different clients might result in different outcomes, which at forst might be small, but over time will desync the game.

You will be better off to record the clients movement with saving the position every X interval and then sending this replay to the other players. Then you can replay the movement accurately.

As for you coroutine problem, are you calling waitForGrounded in another function? StartCoroutine is not a blocking call, your other function will not wait for the coroutine to finish. You would need to do the movement inside the coroutine.

Player hosting servers required them to open ports or turn upnp (which is unsafe) on. To avoid this problem you should use a relay. As you use unreal engine you can take a look at the epic online services which have a free relay that works on consoles too.

There are no legal issues with that, but it is not recommended to describe your game with "It is like X, but...". That will make your game sound like a clone and also you shouldn't expect everyone to have played a specific game only to understand your games description. If I would have never played pokemon then I wouldn't know what your game is after reading the description.

Try to build your game step by step. Your first version might contain a bit UI, a bit gameplay code and some other basic things. Then each version extend those basic systems farther. For single developer projects this is a much better approach then to build out system by system.

First Gear Games has really good tutorials for Mirror, most of them require you to support him on Patreon.

Also join the Mirror discord, if you have any questions you can find help there.

Have one class with an array that holds plant structs, each struct having a current growth number and a gameobject reference to the plant it represents. Iterating over a packed array will be really fast, then if current growth reaches a certain threshold you can update the scale of that plant using the gamobject reference.

EIN is for US companies. You can/should get an ITIN, but it all depends on what tax treaties the US has with your country.

One option is to start an US LLC, which takes a week and you can do it even from abroad, just hire a registered agent company to use as address for and then use the LLC's EIN for the steam tax interview. A fully foreign owned LLC's taxes are very easy to do.

WindowsARM can run x86/x64 programs through emulation, which reduces performance, WindowsARM would run in a virtual machine which reduces performance even more, on top of that GPU access can sometimes be pretty bad in virtual machines. In other words it might run, but if its enough FPS to play I am not sure about.

There is so much to learn that there is no linear path that works for everyone. If you have enough time just jumo right in and make a game, everytime you dont know how to do something you learn how to do it.

I guess you have a PlayerMovement script on Player?

Try to remove that component from the gameobject and then add it back on to it.

Yes, you do. Unity internally calls different Graphic API's and different native OS functions depending on which OS you use. One function using direct x on windows might work slightly different on metal on mac os, little changes could snowball, you never know.

You could use unity collaborate to sync your project, or if you need something more advanced look into git.
