This project is a networking library built on top of Unity's new Real-time Multiplayer solution. Specifically, this project is built on top of the Workflow: Creating a minimal client and server sample from Unity. It aims to make it easy to incorporate local multiplayer functionality into projects by replicating some features from Unity's old networking solution such as NetworkTransforms and SyncVars.
Note: The development of the NICE Networking library is currently halted due to the virtual reality project, MN NICE, being halted as well. There will be no more development on this at this time.
