Where's co-op?

Goblin Cleanup & Viscera 2 it is then. I have no idea why a dev would detract easy sales. So far the only thing I have seen to a developer response is it would cut the game in half. How is that a bad thing? You would be making a sale where otherwise you wouldn't. This doesn't stop Viscera from being a good game just because an extra amount of people could help you clean. There's so few games that exist to capitalize on this, it's Power Wash, Viscera and that's it right now. With only those 2 upcoming games to my knowledge.

Stop comparing Games with each other.
It doesnt matter if "other games" got the same topic or not.
This is the route the Dev wanted to go with the game and thats what you are getting.
If you like it perfect buy it, and if you dont like it its also perfect dont buy it.
Its that simple

I agree with Njord. I understand that many people like to play co-op, but there's no point in comparing games. Each developer has thought of and programmed the game for a purpose, it doesn't have to be the same for everyone. Crime Scene has a story progression (very well created by the way) so the focus of the game is a personal experience as a former janitor (aka Kovalsky) who started working cleaning up crime scenes to earn money for his daughter's treatment.

Can it still have co-op? Yes, but it will be necessary to add at least one new game mode, similar to a sandbox.

Enjoy the game and just wait for the roadmap, there may be a lot of good things to come in the future

+1 for co op. get mad about it...

[Nymexia]

A co op mode would be fun, just random maps to clean

[TheSunEater]

Co op would be amazing!

because not every game needs to have co-op.... some of us LIKE cleaning up alone and not having to worry about what someone else is doing.... you might enjoy potentially being screwed over cause someone messes up or they horse around but the rest of us don't

Co-op is still a possibility. Both Viscera Cleanup Detail and PowerWash Simulator took a while to include it in their games while in Early Access. Dunno if Crime Scene Cleaner was in EA, only remember a prologue demo. But that doesn't mean a future DLC can't include it if the game does well.

-1 for co-op. Though nobody needs to get mad about it. I just agree with the others saying that not every single game needs co-op. I'd much rather see time spent on creating new levels and adding onto the story, as the dev's already said they're going to do, than focus on adding co-op. Maybe down the line, but not now.

I’m a current student in game development and will say even with my limited experience, adding that net code layer of complexity for multiplayer and especially with physics sync turns off a lot of devs. Some are afraid of MP design, don’t want the financial overhead because peer to peer physics doesn’t cut it, maybe preference of single player. Who knows?

It is possible that this title was made to finance the production of something similar that could be multiplayer. If you like it, stay tuned into the developers site and news and maybe they’ve got a bun in the oven. Lol

Gonna check out that goblin game for sure didn’t know about that one!

I get that not every game needs co-op, but having the option is what makes co-op games so appealing. It doesn’t force anyone to play with someone else if they don’t want to, but it gives those who enjoy that experience the flexibility to play with a friend. Arguing against co-op doesn’t really make sense because it would just be an additional feature, not a requirement.

Why keep a game single-player for no reason when adding co-op could give players more options? People have friends who would want to join in on the experience. As for the story mode, co-op can be implemented in ways that don’t take away from the narrative. Plenty of games balance solo play and co-op seamlessly. Whether it’s splitting up tasks or working together in more interactive ways, it could only enhance the gameplay.

All in all, adding co-op could elevate the experience without taking anything away for those who prefer playing solo.

Given the design of this game specifically, co-op wouldn't make sense. Everything has been designed to be cleared by a single player in a reasonable time, including 100%, and the game isn't that long - it's reasonnably priced for its content. It has a narrative direction, contrary to other cleaning games mentionned here that are basically sandboxes, the comparison is not appropriate. Co-op wouldn't make sense in the story and the design.

Now co-op wouldn't change my game, some would say, but it would cut the duration dramatically and then people would pop complaining it's too short, hurting the game. In addition, features are development time, and I'd rather see the dev use that time for more future content than an irrelevant feature. Or rather, if co-op was implemented, it'd be more consistent to have it for a future campaign designed with that idea - even mandatory co-op would make sense in that case.

because it LITERALLY and I mean LITERALLY takes 100x more effort, money, time, and bug solving to change a single player to multiplayer.... for everyone begging for single players otobe changed to multiplayer just means they have ZERO idea how much more trouble it takes for devs to do so.... you DO realize that in order for them to do that they have to change EVERYTHING including the game engine? It's not as simple as a switch they can hit to change the game.... like seriously I am so sick and tired of people whining cause a game isn't multiplayer but yet no one stops to think how much harder it would be on the devs and why they may have decided to go single player....

[EVILE-VON-OVERKILLE]

Like above said the game is WAY to easy for there to be a co-op mode. With one player it is just perfectly ENOUGH because of the design that leaned toward a single player game.
Co-op is pointless in this game.
