## What it is
Scut is a free, open-source game server framework written in C# for building online games, with server-side scripting support for C#, Python, and Lua. It bundles networking over HTTP, WebSocket, and raw sockets, persistence via Redis, MySQL, and MS SQL Server, plus client SDKs (ScutSDK) for Unity3d, Cocos2d-x, and other client platforms.

## Use cases
- build a multiplayer online game server
- game backend framework for mobile games
- server framework that supports Cocos2d-x or Unity3d clients
- cross-protocol game server with socket and websocket communication
- script game logic in Lua or Python on a .NET server
- game server with Redis and MySQL data persistence

## When to choose
- You are building an online or mobile multiplayer game backend on the .NET Framework stack
- You need client SDKs for Unity3d or Cocos2d-x with lean, cross-platform messaging
- You want to embed Python or Lua scripting for game logic on a C# server
- You need bundled game system modules and NoSQL/SQL storage services to save development time

## When to avoid
- You are starting a new project today - the latest release dates to 2016 and the project appears unmaintained
- You need modern .NET Core / .NET 5+ support, since Scut requires .NET Framework 4.5.1+
- You need active community support, security patches, or updated documentation
- Your workload is a general-purpose web service rather than an online game backend
