Is it multiplayer?

[Wizzy]

Is there going to be multiplayer in this game? If not, are there plans on it in the future? The game looks pretty promising so far.

At launch there will be no multiplayer. However, in the future I will be looking at adding a co-op feature to the game (reference State of Decay 2) type of thing.

I feel as though a simple co-op whether it be player hosted or not would make this game a 10/10 for me, but as a singleplayer, its pretty dry.

co op needs to happen it will make this game pop a bit more

Necroposting on a zombie game, I have hit a new low or would that be a high?

Either way, it is the future from when this thread was started.
So where we at on multiplayer or is this more a Back to the Future kind of thing?
Do I need to find a Delorean and a Flux Capacitor to co-op play?

No, but you could of looked through the pinned posts and found your answer instead of digging up this ancient artifact

the game looks interesting - I will definetely grab 2 or 3 copies in the future when coop arrives

I totaly agree with the goal to first finish the game and then later think about adding coop

I am on the other hand afraid that the game will not bring as much profit as it would with coop - but I hope I am wrong and you will manage to finish it and it will not end up another abandoned EA game on Steam

best of luck

I disagree!!! Focus on single player would add so much more to the game.

Curious how another player running around next to you changes the game if you think it's dry as it is?

Absolutely not. The amount of engine/system abuse, cheating, etc is what most developers spend time fighting against once a game adds PvP. Co-Op PvE would be fine, and allow the developer to spend the majority of his time on game systems, which improve overall gameplay for *everyone*.

Agreed.

It would be even nicer to have PVP with the difficulty options to disable and tweak it how the Host/player wants. This way when a player is hosting their own server, they control all rules of the server and they set all difficulty options to over wright all other players settings that connect to their server.

This would mean i host a server and my god mode is on, everyone has god mode.
PVP or not that is the way it could be.

All connected players will use whatever server settings there are if we are lucky.
