Why no option for CO-OP?

[Darshu]

I get that the point is to be single player / casual but not having an option to play with a friend if or when you want to seems like a pretty big con for this game. You're making a game to be nostalgic for players who like to socialize in their games and you don't add any social aspects to it. Even if it was just a town hub to interact in some way like buying, trading or just talking.

Hopefully you don't listen to some of the folks saying no coop, as I truly think it would help your project long-term. You can add me to the list as a day-one buyer if you end up adding in 2 player coop (or more) and I would imagine there is a good market for this overall. I love playing MMORPGs with friends, but it's always a pain finding a full group of quality players (easy to find 1-2 friends though typically). Either way good luck with the project - you've got the foundation for something very fun!

Literally sells itself as single player. Damn you’re dense

Did you not read the guys name? not exactly the brightest chromosome in here xD

Witht the release of Deepseek and its opensource option, wouldnt it be possible to have AI created conversation?

Hey, thanks for the message.

Coop is and will always be a stretch goal for this game, however, I'm not confident enough that I can deliver it in a reliable enough way that I want to add it to the features list at this time. I also want to ensure that Erenshor is designed and tuned as a single player experience *first*. That's most important here. I think it's better to just not promise it, vs promise it and have to back off on that promise later.

In the interim, I hope to have your friends characters appear in your game as simulated players, wearing the gear that they're actually wearing. This is a nice way to know that your pals are going to see that cool sword you just found, and for the time being this is a much more manageable goal for me.

Seriously though, thanks for taking the time to stop in. Knowing that this is a major "want" for people is important to me.

Respect the reply. Just discovered this game and i dig the concept. I think the potential for co-op in this game is huge, this sounds like something my friends and i would love to grind given our different play schedules. We can progress in our own simulated worlds on our own time, but then come together in a lobby, making the simulation more immersive. The npcs would take after the host and nobody would get butthurt about their friends progressing without them as is the problem with some groups who like to play co op games together. Everyone plays at their own pace and meets up to quest together and help each other out. Experience massive wow style raids with large groups within the comfort of 4-5 people instead of a massive guild.

how many copies do i need to buy to make co op happen? :D

[Cha0ticInsanity]

While it'd be cool for like say a 2 player or even 4 player co-op. I can see the vision for sure and definitely excited for how this game will turn out as a single player game!

[Mr.Curse]

I got this game pretty much BECAUSE it is single player, I dont think every game needs to be both, Love this idea and concept.

Just throwing in another vote for Co-op. Would be a ton of fun.

[PhantomBeast911]

Co-op would be 100% buy for me, even if it was only 1 other player could join my game that's all i really need right now. Simulated players works real nice but I get hit with with sadness for some reason as if those these Ai players are Ghosts of the past.(don't make fun of me :)
Game demo is awesome so far.

[Werd]

Having co-op would turn this into a must buy multiple copies for friends.

[MaGicBush]

2-4 player coop would be pretty fun I must admit, but not a deal breaker. I bought this anyways. Though, of course if that was added I would then buy a copy for my wife and my son.

[Minnow]

I'd be way more interested in this if it were co-op.

Haven't thought about that, but I will explore it!

could implement something like the Pawn system from Dragons Dogma, allowing you to recruit your friends character as an NPC if they're offline

Kind of defeats the purpose of this game… 🤦🏻‍♂️

not at all? The game is supposed to feel alive and inhabited by other players, allowing co-op doesn't diminish that. It isn't competitive, there aren't leaderboards, if myself and three of my friends play together, it doesn't negatively impact your experience of playing without friends.
