Coop Must have !!

[Mr. De_Sålva]

Don't get me wrong, the game is fantastic, but it feels so lonely. I think in game like this coop its must have. Or at least AI sailors.

Check the road map.

[Midnyte]

multiplayer is listed in the roadmap :)

Where is multiplayer?

It might be on a distant roadmap, but the STEAM sales page just says solo play. Did you make a separate STEAM game, Sailwind 2 - the MP edition? I'd mark it on my wishlist or buy it early access. But to get in on this now, not knowing when MP will occur, the boat sets sails once, and it's harder to bring friends aboard later.

Maybe Later? (2023?)
- multiplayer
- purchasable houses
- storyline & quests
- shark and whale hunting
- fishing nets, traps, cages


That is an eternity on game scales. Maybe?

Ever played Star Citizen lol

Multiplayer please.. This game would explode in popularity.. Dev, find someone who does multiplayer right in Unity and have them help. it'll be worth it.. You're sitting on a gold mine.

+1 multiplayer !

-1. What's the point? You're sailing out in the ocean. Chances are you won't be seeing your buddy 98% of the time. Not everything has to be multiplayer. I'd much rather have some AI encounters.

It's not Naval Action here : there is practically nothing to do alone over there and that's why they gather up in clans. But here it's a solo gameplay.

I agree with Unster: maybe it's better just to focus on developing the AI.

And if you want a multiplayer in Sailwind, the only thing to do together here is to organise a sailing race :)

It'd be worth it if you could have multiple players crewing the same ship - someone at the helm, others tending to the ropes, others fishing and cooking and navigating. Take it in turns to sleep. Could even be in-game minigames to pass the quiet spells - cards, dice etc.

I agree about making a multiplayer crew, it would be cool !

However, the ropes are called 'lines' in sailing jargon...

But never mind, the idea is excellent.

I don't think there's that much to do for a multiplayer crew. You adjust the sails once in a while and check your bearing. Have a snack once in a while. Most of the time you wait to reach your destination. One thing's for sure. You'd need a bigger boat and more food for a crew.

... Well there are large ships on the roadmap... The current ones are just the small and medium ships

Yes but I think a multiplayer crew could do for a brig that has many sails. But I agree that it's pretty useless for the other ships present in the game now.

Or a boat that requires a lot of slaves to row the boat. People in the multiplayer crew can volunteer for that. Oh what fun. :D
