Multiplayer

[PandaWaffles]

Is multiplayer planned for this?

Cozy Grove won't be launching with multiplayer, but if it does well we might add it later (no promises tho, it's a long shot)

Thank you very much. Would be great though :)

Then take the "Remote Play Together" tag off the Steam store page.

We have clarified Remote Play Together here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1458100/discussions/0/3077621988062957590/#c3077621988063252379

If we removed the flag/tag from the store page, then it would disable the feature itself entirely and no players would be able to use it. As far as we're aware there isn't a way to have the feature there for those that want it, but not show it on the store page.

Not to be contrary, but where did you get the idea this was desired? If a friend wants to chat while watching someone play the game, they can just stream via Steam, Discord or the myriad other options available.

Remote Play Together is specifically to allow another player to control a second input device in a game which is all but useless in a single player game.

Please correct me if I'm missing something (and I fully admit I might be) but I believe this is an unnecessary feature which will only cause confusion by making people think your game has multi-player.

No hate to the dev, but I think the remote play together tag is a bit misleading, even if your intention for it is good.

Got my copy on xbox though, can't wait to try it out later tonight!

Thank you for the feedback everyone! Since it seems like this could be a lot more confusing than we anticipated, we went ahead and removed it from the store page. Appreciate ya'll educating us. :)

Sorry for the necro, but has there been any update on this since launch? Has it done well enough for you guys to look into adding online co-op?

I would love at least a feature like "messages in bottles" or something similar with random online players of the game.

Knowing players like I do, rather than getting a "message" from a random player, I suggest allowing players to send a letter to a friend (i.e. Friend on Steam who owns/plays Cozy Grove). As an added bonus, allow us to attach/send gifts via the same letter.

That could be cool but I feel it a bit more useless (not the gift but the message) than sending a message to a random player. You know, I like serendipity and surprises, if I want to send a message to a friend I use the chat.
