Independently developed drop-in multiplayer lobby for Photon Fusion 2 (Shared Mode): browse/create rooms, roster, ready-up, host start + countdown, kick, and chat. Clean customizable C#. Easy setup.Requires Unity 6 (6000.0+), URP (also works on Built-in via Standard-shader fallback), the new Input System, and TextMeshPro. Networking needs Photon Fusion 2 (Shared Mode) — imported separately with your own free Photon App Id (SaaS; limits/pricing set by Photon). Desktop standalone (Windows/macOS). Pure C# source; no third-party art or audio.Multiplayer is hard, but the lobby shouldn't be the part that eats your week. Photon Fusion Lobby is a Tools / network template that delivers a polished, production-ready front-end you can ship as-is or restyle to fit your title.Players type a name, browse a live list of open rooms, and select-then-join so nobody ever lands in the wrong match by accident — or spin up their own room in one tap. Inside the room they see a live roster, flip Ready, and trade messages in in-room chat. The host runs the show with a Start button that stays locked until everyone is ready, a cancellable countdown, and the power to kick players. When the host leaves, there are no frozen screens — everyone gets a clean "Host left" prompt and a way back to the lobby. The tricky real-world edge cases that usually surface after launch are already handled.Fully customizableEvery tunable lives in one tidy LobbyConfig.cs file — player min/max, countdown length, chat history, nickname rules, matchmaking key, scene order, even the standalone window size — each documented with a sensible range. The UI is standard Unity uGUI + TextMeshPro, generated by a one-click Editor builder, so you can restyle colours, fonts, and layout freely or rebuild it your way. The code is clean, senior-level C# (one responsibility per file, explicit control flow, no hidden LINQ) with every authored comment prefixed GauntletSystems:, plus a bundled Class Reference — so extending it is straightforward, not a reverse-engineering exercise.This is a Tools asset, not a game in a box — it is genre-agnostic and drops in front of any Fusion 2 project. Its Shared-Mode topology is ideal for party games, co-op, social and casual multiplayer, board/card games, and prototypes. An included demo gameplay scene proves the full lobby-to-game hand-off; replace it with your own scene and you are shipping multiplayer.Independent product — not affiliated with Photon or Unity.
