Monitoring & optimization dashboard for indie multiplayer backends
Solo indie game founders struggle to implement robust, scalable multiplayer networking features without a development team.
NetPulse connects to your networking setup (Photon, Mirror, etc.) to visualize performance, detect desyncs, and auto-optimize. Solo devs get pro-level insights without ops team. Alerts and fixes keep games buttery smooth at scale.
