Colyseus – Multiplayer Game Server for Node.js

For developers, writing a multiplayer game code with Socket.io, SockJS, etc.  can be repetitive and time-consuming.

It also depends on the learning curve of the JavaScript library that is being adapted to the web application/game. Of course, bugs and several problems will also plague the code before it becomes stable.

Colyseus is a multiplayer game server for Node.JS.  It was created to save time when trying to create a multiplayer game using JavaScript and HTML5, instead of writing it from scratch.

It definitely makes multiplayer game development a lot easier. Colyseus is still being updated and already has a definite roadmap for its new features.
