Please make online multiplayer

[Splat ♥]

Game looks beautiful would be better with friends

Please

[TonyD]

This needs complete online multiplayer.
Friends list.
Lobbies.

Not having it would be a huge miss!

[YinYin]

that's gonna be out of scope or an unusable implementation unless you throw enough money at the kickstarter stretch goals that hiring code mystics for that is possible

[Angular Velocity]

I feel the same way. It's hard to ask for multiplayer considering, no matter how much I want it too.

I feel like any game this fast would have issues as well with how quick vehicle interactions can happen. I think it's possible with an acceptable level of delay, but yeah, it would need more money for such a stretch goal.

[Fomalhaut]

You rabid clowns get a demo and demand every single wildly difficult to implement piece fluff possible. You know what kind of ridiculous order you're demanding?

Idiots asking for mod support, all kinds of crazy editors, Switch ports, Linux support, 30 player online, like this is actually being made by Nintendo. Not once do any of you consider the Herculean work load for any of it. God, no wonder most AAA devs avoid gamers.

Shut up. Christ...

lmao people are really thinking that you just have to push one button to add a multiplayer mode

im not a programmer but i hope they have a very successful kickstarter and can hire one

It's good to not ask too much but I'd argue that having no level editor that can be shared may be detrimental for the longevity of the game when you put it in perspective.

In fact players being able to redo all tracks from F-zero would basically give us all games in the series on PC.

Editor is already planned for post release, regardless of stretch goals:

There are more features that aren't mentioned here, but the above are the most important. Major updates are planned for post-initial release, the first of which being a track editor that will allow players to build and share their own tracks on PC!

also small update on that - the game state doesn't appear to be deterministic (I asked about how replays are handled) - building online on top of that would result in an awful experience - making good online would require rewriting the whole thing to be deterministic

not a nice prospect when several years of work have finally brought you to a point where only content creation on a solid foundation is left to do

Perfect, I'll buy it.

ok soo lets hope this game is super good and Aero GPX 2 can be built with online multiplayer in mind

[kaijuu!!]

You need to chill out my good sir. It is not that serious I can assure you... ._.

[Bophades]

Would be a cool feature for sure. I hope the kickstarter gets funded above and beyond the current target so that something like that could be considered (iirc this project is the work of 1 guy)

[Zolne]

The creator of the game said that online is impossible since the game wasn't made with that in mind from the very beginning, he would have to rewrite the entire game again based around the online multiplayer

[TakeMyLunch]

A lack of online has pretty much killed my want to play this. Sucks that such a big mistake was made.

Wait wait wait.


F-zero isn't an online game yet it's still great to play.
