    Hello,
    I'm designing a multiplayer game with 4 to 8 at the same time.
    I would like to know what's the best solution to make one player host the server (I think it's called listen-servers). Photon seams great but it's expensive, also I'm a student, my game is not ready and I can't afford to pay dedicated servers for a game that will be 5-10$...

    Also how to integrate steam things, like achievements etc.. I also read that Steam will open the port from the host-player so he doesn't have to open his ports himself (like for a minecraft server), is it true ?

    Thank you ! :)
