How to play online?

[NNeyen]

Can I play with a friend now or is it not implemented yet? If it is already implemented, what is the way to do it?

[trev]

I have the same question.

[Wighar]

This looks interesting, though I wonder how the online system will be done, will it be server based or Lobby p2p or etc?, if servers then would it be possible to have dedicated standalone servers to have persistent worlds like as example minecraft, ARK,conan exiles and so on?

Sorry the Alpha Test is single player only. We should have multiplayer finished by beta sometime in the fall!

Nice, I hope to see futurewise what type of Multiplayer system you will go with, reason I am very interested is cause I am one of many who host dedicated servers, mostly on Linux dedicated machines utilizing LinuxGSM and such things.

First of all, we are considering and developing the system which is based p2p method between friends. If there is a strong demand, we would like to consider a dedicated server, etc., but we have not considered it as a development item yet.

Please make sure that, if you use P2P, the files to run the saves and the game are small enough that they can be passed between players. So everyone can have them and continue playing, even when the individual who started the game logs off. I know this is hard, but this is the major problem with most P2P.

Otherwise, I love this game so far. This is a game I love my kid to play, because they learn to PROGRAM!!

Thanks for your advice. We will consider to develop P2P multiplay to be stable.
We also want to this game play for many children!

too bad its only p2p, only had bad experiences with that. dedicated servers is the way to play, no hassles.

Yes, Omega Crafter supports P2P-based multiplay!
With one player hosting a world, other players can join the world as clients!

Too bad. I dunno why there are still open world survival craftiung style games without dedicated server support.

Games like Conan Exiles, 7 days 2 die, Icarus, Palworld, Enshrouded etc. .... they do great with all the servers popping up and running.

[Button Mash]

oh damm no dedicated server, no buy, sorry...
