Multiplayer?

[Yakub]

Me and my friends have been looking for a city builder, tower defense, co-op game. They don't seem to exist outside of mods for singleplayer citybuilders. Any plans to have multiplayer or mod support? We would purchase it instantly at a higher price.

Hi,

It mainly depends on how well the game does because MP is very expensive to make. So - possibly, in the future, I'd definitely like to do it, but it's a big adventure so I'll need to make sure it's financially viable. Unfortunately I cannot make any promises. Please do not make any purchase decisions because you expect multiplayer in the future.

If it does get done, most likely it will be co-op with multiple steam-bots working to build the same city together.

Sounds great!

+1 Would buy for sure. Never play games like that without MP.

+1, Multiplayer would be amazing. I have a few friends that would almost certainly pick the game up if multiplayer was added.

Please spend your time on the single player and get the game out of EA. It is a great game.

Here's hoping, I have a friend in mind I'd love to jam this with. ^_^

Is multiplayer being considered now that the game hit 1.0 launch? I'd gift it to all my friends if they added multiplayer, this combines two of our favorite genres

Unfortunately, at the current state of things adding MP is not financially feasible.

a basic implementation of "local / couch co-op" that you then work into the steam remote play together is a nice workaround i have seen other small studios do for multiplayer - this way it doesn't need "matchmaking" or "lobies" etc

It is not about clouds, lobbies or matchmaking - rewrite the working code of a singleplayer game into a stable multiplayer game is VERY challenging and time-consuming process. It is perhaps almost as difficult as write a new multiplayer game from scratch :P

It is probably better to invest time to Dream Engines 2 with multiplayer included in the original engine.
