Explore the full source code of a real Metaplay game for free

See exactly how Metaplay powers real live-service games with the complete, production-grade source of Orca—a merge-2, story-driven Unity game built with Metaplay SDK, now open source under Apache-2.0.

Apache 2.0 — Yeah, it’s actually free

We’ve opened up the full Orca project so you can see how Metaplay works in a real production game. Play it, read the code, and build on it yourself.

See It Live

Play the Orca Demo in your browser to experience how Metaplay keeps gameplay smooth, synced, and server authoritative.

Peek Under the Hood

Browse the complete Unity project and backend source on GitHub. Check out the player models, configs, and triggers that power Orca.

Build Your Own

Clone the repo, run the server locally, and start experimenting. Fork it, tweak the configs, and deploy your own version to Metaplay Cloud.

Orca shows Metaplay in action

Every part of Orca runs on real Metaplay systems. From data-driven design tools to the deterministic backend and LiveOps dashboard, it is a working example of how studios can build fast, safe, and scalable live-service games.

The full source reveals how those systems connect in practice so developers can see, run, and build on a real production setup.

Data-driven design

All gameplay data lives in designer-friendly configs that compile into shared code. Balance the economy, tweak features, or localize content without touching the source.

Editable Google Sheets compile directly into shared game code
Fully customizable, as simple or as complex as you want
Tutorial and story logic built entirely from trigger-based configs

Cheat-proof and super responsive

Metaplay’s shared code keeps the client and server perfectly in sync, giving players instant feedback while staying cheat-proof.

One set of Models and Actions shared between client and server
Client-side prediction for instant feedback
Server authority for a secure, hacker-proof economy

Custom LiveOps dashboard

A ready-to-use control center for player data, events, and testing that you can extend to match your game’s needs.

Rich visualization of player states and in-game economy
Manage your game over-the-air without the need for client updates
Extend with custom views and admin tools using Metaplay’s dashboard framework

Built for Real Team Collaboration

Metaplay is built for collaboration across teams. Orca shows how programmers, designers, and producers can all work on the same platform, sharing the same data, tools, and goals, without blocking each other or waiting on new builds.

For Developers

Write clean, deterministic game logic once and run it safely on both client and server. The foundation stays solid while the rest of the team builds freely on top.

For Designers

Shape progression, pacing, and story directly through editable Game Configs. Update data in real time without touching code or waiting for a merge.

For Producers

Manage events, offers, and tuning through the LiveOps Dashboard. Launch updates instantly and collaborate with the rest of the team using the same shared systems.
