Coop out yet?

[ClusterFranky [Ger]]

tbh this game would be saved if it had multiplayer alot of new players joining in etc.
so hit me up if it gets coop otherwise i guess imma look into it when it releases

So, you clearly don't read developer notes or updates. There is no multiplayer. It has been mentioned many many times. No idea why you think a game needs multiplayer to be "saved" Multiplayer can ruin games too, just look at fallout 76. According to steamcharts ZS is doing just fine and around half a million copies sold too

People poking in and demanding multiplayer for a SINGLE PLAYER game, is actually what helped destroy the funding and development of the game.

There is a magic button in steam that allows you to search for games with Multiplayer function BUILT IN. You should try it sometime.

scroll back to June 4th and read the full thing of the dev update. That'll bring you up to date so you know what happened.

Ive been playing this game for.. three years now? long before the EA launch on steam. It was always a single-player game and the coding structure doesn't support multiple ports into a single given map. It launched on steam, as a single-player, and many of us have always liked it that way. The attempt to make the game co-op seems to have wasted a lot of the dev's time in which now we can see some of the result by countless tart-bakers complaining about how the game is coming out of EA with lack of content.

All i hear is a bunch of "Single Player Cope" as if the button for single player doesnt exist. If you guys want to be loners, then just say so, no need to force others to play the game as loners as well...

You guys dont really help the game surviving when you dont allow the ability for more people to buy the game in the aspect of playing with their friends, so are you guys actually helping the game or just killing it off?

this has to be the best comment on this thread i have read in days.
this is nailing it
a coop choice is not destroying anything it even supports multiple copies to be bought increasing income and moral to improve the game. its just that, nothing else, nothing less.
this is a great game, enjoying it with my friends will not make it worse.

Remember that this game was originally advertised as a single-player game.
The thing that triggers most of the people who want it to be kept single-player is that trying to add in coop when the base game didn't support it in the first place cost the dev a lot of time in the attempt.
That time could have been better spent on more content for single-player or bug fixes.

This is a great game as it is but it's ok to express an interest in coop. Maybe it will lead to it being included in a sequel. My friends and I would buy that in a heartbeat BTW.

No, Coop dosen't destroy anything.

What it does however is that it diverts attention and resources away from the developer's original intent of their game.

And at current, they're in a bit of a balancing act to get this game into full release, to release their enhanced game mechanics and deal with the player base's demands / misconceptions of the intended product. Without the added burden of configuring, testing, trouble shooting this game as a multiplayer which was never their intent to begin with.

So you're most likely not going to get multiplayer. And that's not the fan boys / girls repeating the party line; that's the current reality of the product the developer is producing.

it says it all in the June 4th post.. let alone all the banter from the release on steam leading up to that. It was one of the most requested additions people would have liked to see but like I had stated, and others, when you've made a game for 4 years based upon a single-player mindset and coding, unless you set yourself up from the get go, adding co-op/multiplayer is not that easy to just code in as an after-thought

More than likely, once released in v1.0, we're probably going to hear rumor of a ZS2 in the works with multiplayer support. the VR game "Into the Radius" had the same crowd of folks that wanted multiplayer, and because their original engine didn't support it, they finished up the game and went onto creating "Into the Radius 2".

[HuskyStrylight]

Multiplayer is a large task at hand, i don't deny the extensive time require to finish such mechanics into a game, however what i do disagree with are people who "wish" to play the game as single player and saying coop takes away from the game.

One thing to note is what should the dev focus on, and with the limited amount of inflow money, what are their goals to prolong development. Im not aware of any "fundraiser" they might be doing to help their development or if they have any, or if they are working on the basis of what the sales they make.

Regardless, i wish that people did not make the excuse of "It breaks immersion" because that in my mind breaks any notion of what matters. Co-op does not replace single player, and their go to game is always fallout 76 which is not even co-op but more of an mmo.

Is there any need for this comment? Isnt this place meant for discussion? talking about it doesnt hurt anyone, besides insulting people IQ.
