Co-op or multiplayer

[JkRadar]

Is there going to be a Co-op or multiplayer feature in the game

[[SMH]Hokan11]

life is feudal Your own is a game that will solve your coop if you can't wait. I believe that they implement in Medieval coop, but not at this stage, but in the last phase and built on other principles of the game. It certainly wouldn't help them now. And I support them ...

All you co-oper's crack me up . hahaha it's just a game and you all are like do this do that . take the game as is or don't. why make a big deal of how it could or couldn't work . for now the game is single player . so why try to make every game multiplayer and create post after post of wanting co-op multiplayer on a single game . so serious over a game . go outside once in a while get some air ! want to play with a friend go to there house hahaha .

i do not understand this answer. We are all playing this to ensure the final version will be - as quoted - the best first person game for the midages. I truly see some chances to implement a coop....like you start together and then you do the big tasks together but both (or everyone) of the players can do some quests and build his or her own small town. The map is big enough for lets say 3 to 5 players. These players can support each other.

Sure....I prefer SP but this first person idea is great...the game setting is very nice...so why not coop? You would not compete so why not ?

When is Co-op coming

Waiting for this till i purchase.. game looks tons of fun but want to play with friends.. Any news on Co-op coming anytime soon?

[nebron1962]

Most likely never.
Dynasty games are simulator/management games not RPG/FPS games.

I have to admit, my friends sole reason for not getting the game is that they cannot play together.

Personally i think the game would do well with both a coop online mode and maybe something later in a MMO sort of way, maybe with no starting villages and just people making up towns. That be nice.

Thats sad if they never to any coop with it. Looks like there is so much potential. I just cant find it in myself to grind out a solo survival type ish game when there are so many options to play with friends

The main hurdle I see for co-op to ever happen, is the fact that much of the game is based on changing seasons and passage of time in general. You can't have seasons with a multiplay or co-op, or everyone would be experiencing different seasons on their screen. To remove the season and time factor to allow co-op would change a vital part of game play. The only way it could be done is if there was a host, and anyone else couldn't really do anything except hang out.

As a indie developer the season changing would not effect multiplayer. Life is feudal has a seasonal gameplay and that can allow 10000 people (albeit, only 150 per server grid) at any one time.

The reasons is simply to do with additional programming requirements, based upon integers used to trigger and follow quest lines, each player would likely have a string attached to there character model with a integer database managing all there quest information. For example the main character will likely set a string to a different number during quest triggers, such as talking to Uniegost will likely change the integer of a string for example "Uniegost_quest1_active" from "0" to "1" which will have a check agaisnt it later from a different quest to see if its active or to trigger the next quest by calling up 2 different strings and comparing the integers attached with a pre set trigger such as both being equal or one higher then the other.

The problem is this, each player would have there own integer database, which means for 2 players you would need 2 databases running at the same time with different strings for each quest, practically doubling the required programming. Main MMOs, such as ESO for example will run massive servers that not only layout the game world, but also managed massive databases which will have thousands of players in game information saved. In feudal there are no quests in the game, and so integer databases for quest progression are not required, although they will still have databases for following skill progression for each player.

In order for the game to manage just 2 or 4 people would require a much slicker programming of the game in order for the host to manage the additional strains on there hard drive and CPU.

This game is a solo RPG set in an open world environment (a valley in medieval Bohemia) and does have minor survival elements, but it is primarily a RPG with a storyline to follow.
As such, there would be little reason for co-op and so it's not likely to be a feature.

This depends on whether they can market a coop feature. Personally i think a coop online feature upto 4 players is a viable thing they could do.

They would of course still maintain a single player game for those who do not wish to play with others, but it is by no means an impossible thing for them too do, its just a matter of whether the materials and time required to program it in is profitable compared to whether the overall community want it.

Given how many times ive seen someone ask whether a coop feature is coming asked on the forums i would be willing to wager a substantial portion of there marketable business would return the investment with dividends.

My friend group has been watching this game, but we are each holding off until this has multiplayer. All of us spend our gaming time playing together and we LOVE survival/RPG games.

Here's hoping the devs find a way to make this game multiplayer.

Because it´s boring in a solo rpg open world..

I play it at the moment solo but i think they could make the game much more marketable if they added a co op mode.

[thokahn]

There are so many co-op focused games out there already. I bought this game to get a nice open world, single player player game that had crafting, building, exploring, survival and advancement as its main priority. In other words: I like it just like it is.

[zwergnase09]

I do not need a Co-op I am happy we have a great single player open world game!
