Multiplayer planned?

Hello there!
This game looks great and has a nice concept but atm u only can go solo into the world. Is a multiplayer already planned? :)

We definitely have co-op play planned, when we first started thinking about Desert Skies it grew out of wanting to create something fun to play together. We began our development with working co-op play, but eventually it reached a point where it was adding too much extra work on top of everything else, and then Unity (the engine we make the game with) announced they were replacing the existing multiplayer system we were using with a new one, so we put the co-op on hold.

We're not sure on the timeframe for it yet, we're focusing on expanding the current gameplay while we see what happens with Unity, but it will be something we do during Early Access.

Wondering about the same, I would never buy this as a single player. But as a Multiplayer it would easily be my fav game! :D

Same, wouldn't buy this for single player, but certainly to play co-op with friends! Pretty much the same as the 'Raft' game, just desert instead of water, but it still would be great in multiplayer.
