Lo-Fi Games

What about some sort of Co-op/Simple Multiplayer? Is there any mods for this? Would love to start a settlement that shares time speed with other buds (like Supreme Commander 2). Would be a big selling point as well and it would not be that hard to stick in the game.

Anyone know if Dev plans to do this in the future, or if someone started a simple hosting .cfg procedure to enable a few buds to share a map together?

Again, if this has been answered in the past, I apologize in advance

Nope not at the moment.

These posts infuriate me.

Would be a big selling point as well and it would not be that hard to stick in the game.

Firstly, whats wrong with just a singleplayer game? If you want MP, go play WOW or some other shit. The dev has said it, its almost everywhere you look, and i hope people get the message now - its not MP!

Secondly, if its "not that hard" go make it yourself. You'll suddenly realise that actually, it is "that hard", and the whole game would have to be recoded if you wanted MP.

Not everything has to be casual gamery these days. I wish someone would pin a topic somewhere saying "this game isnt multiplayer now stop asking". Its really getting on my nerves.

No, a game does not need to be "re coded to add MP"; certain aspects tweaked slightly but it would take no more than a week TOPS to iron it all out. I have seen it done by a single person numerous times in the last seven years since I started following indie games.

Secondly, there is nothing wrong with a singlepalyer game, just some of us have friends who wish to play a game with, and yes, COOP/Multiplayer is a HUGE selling point in today's vast society of internet social programs that allow players to PLAY together.

Get with the times or brush out your old Atari, but do not flame a question with my apologize in advance if the topic has been answered before even after I conducted a search.

Please list the mods which have added multiplayer to a game. I know they exist and they CAN be simple to make, but in some cases you just have to accept that it isn't going to happen any time soon, and certainly not within a week. As you have said it's easy to do then go and do it yourself. I'm not flaming you either, I'm being serious, try it yourself instead of just suggesting it. I got into modding because I wanted something in a game so instead of just asking if someone else would do it I did it myself by spending a little time learning how to do it.

Hell, not even looking for mods or seeing this soon; I rather have the game developed and then let the multiplayer be released later, just needed some word so that I, as well as thousands of others, have a bit more insight on what is to come. Multiplayer is a big thing today and it is something that is always on the back of peoples mind. At least mine, since I am more social than some of this forum seems to be.

Thanks for your input

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see multiplayer at some point too, you just made it sound like you thought it would be a few lines of code and tadah! There's just so much little things that would need to be taken into account compared to other games, the large groups instead of a single player, keeping every NPC loaded and the exact same for all players, making sure buildings owned by one player can't be abused by another, the time speed isn't as big an issue but some things automatically adjust it, how would the game handle one person going into conversations.

I could go on for an age about the problems s that could arise, and that's only the current version, imagine how many more problems there would be later when there's dozens of other features implemented. Then you have the problem of mods, whether or not to allow them to be active, if so they have to be the same mods and versions for everyone.

It's got many of the same problems which Kerbal Space Program has when it comes to the idea of multiplayer, but it seems very much that multiplayer is currently not going to happen. Anyway you said you weren't looking for it to be a mod but more something added when the game is more complete? If that's true then shouldn't you have posted in the suggestions section instead of the modding section?

There won't be multiplayer, those are the Devs words and there is no mod for it and probably never will.

Use the search function of this forum to find threads that already talk about multiplayer. Apologizing in advance doesn't make it right.

I'm closing this threads before there's more of that hotblooded back and forth
