I Built the game Air Duelz with unity, it is a combat flight simulator that gets you to fight from the cockpit against other jet fighters and even a titan. The game is available for android. I read reviews that I found for other flight sim games on android and then decided to add things people wanted from those games. Some people said that they would enjoy other games more if the takeoff and landing were more involved etc etc.
Anyways I built the game but the number of people who downloaded the game is close to zero and I haven't received any feedback as to continue working on the game. For my final effort to help improve the game, I thought of adding 1v1 multiplayer mode. I have already figured out the multiplayer and even developed a playable multiplayer client and server which I am running on my local machine.
The problem is that for multiplayer you need servers and servers cost money especially since I am not using Unity's Unet as they said it was deprecated. The game does not have many players so even if i deploy a VPS, there just wouldn't be anyone to match against.
So my question, should I deploy a VPS with a multiplayer mode and hope for the best even though there aren't many players for my game?
