Online multiplayer

[NeoJ]

Well, I'm really enjoying the game but I don't think I will get one of my friends playing this with me at home (I wish I could).

Any plans for an online multiplayer? I want to try that co-op experience ^^

It would be really cool, but sorry, no plans.

Is it because the target for online mp wasnt reached in the kickstarter project? Perhaps starting up another kickstarter specifically for multiplayer would be a good idea? I bet a bunch of people would pay for that extra...

If you ever implemented the multiplayer as a pay for dlc I would purchase it for sure.

Yeah. No plans because they are too busy with another game...

[baboon]

are they honestly not going to add the multiplayer feature ? that really sucks.. i love this game and it makes me so sad that i cant play this with my boyfriend who is abroad (which was the reason to buy that game in the first place).

My best guess would be both?

Gah! Online multiplayer would be awesome!

For add MP they need to make the game from zero. It needs to be implemented in the early days of the development.

I would be awesome ,and more copies sold!!

I think it would be impossible for this game to have an Online Multiplayer since it wasnt what was in mind during the development and would be really really hard to try and put one right now, unless they make the game from scratch chances of a Multiplayer online is too slim...

I wish. It would be great randomly coming across other players that can choose to either befriend you or rival you.

AGREED. As I'm sure all would.

There is a way to play it online with friend! But it's weird, unsafe and second player can experience constant lag... If anyone wants to try, I strongly recommend doing it with a person you can trust completly - because you will have to give him/her access to your computer ;)

First of all - you need some remote desktop software. Windows shuold have one built-in, but I've used TeamViewer (free for non-comercial use). I don't know how many players it can handle, but was sufficient to run multiplayer game on two computers in same room ;) You just have to install it (on both PCs), connect second to first, run game and configure controls (each player have to use different keys, because keyboard is shared).

But... It streams video, so it generates lag. Don't know how painful can it be - I haven't played it, just tested. However, this may help to reduce delay:
- reducing screen resolution on host,
- reducing color depth and video quality on client (in TeamViewer, while connected, options to control these can be found in that grey bar at top).

If anyone will dare to play with use of this method, let me know how it works :D

Why out in online multiplayer when the devs said only local mp from same computer will be the only co-op game in this? i prefer that mp they putted in, it feels more like you playing som good old games like you did when you was younger, just put in 4 xbox/ ps3 controlls and play and have fun, more social and much funnier.

Really love this game, enjoyed it since it was early access and before it came to steam! :)
