Multiplayer / Co-op / PvP in The Long Dark -- All threads will be merged here

[hinterland_community]

This thread is for discussion related to multiplayer in The Long Dark. It has been left unlocked to give players a place to share and discuss ideas, as well as see Hinterland's comments about the topic. Future threads related to multiplayer/co-op/pvp will be merged here.

The Long Dark was designed from the beginning to be a single-player experience and we don't have any plans to add multiplayer. It doesn't quite fit with type of experience we are trying to build and yes, the technical challenges of trying to add multiplayer to the existing game would be pretty significant.

However we do understand many people are interested in a multiplayer experience, and don't fault anyone for finding the idea compelling (it IS fun to imagine). We've seen quite a few requests for it, and it might be something we consider for a future game -- but not this one.

MP question

Will this game have mp, cause if it will, i will buy it for sure, looks awesome.

[gamertaboo]

They have stated that there's no plans for it, and probably not.

[Ottomic]

No.

Multiplayer Mod?

If anyone has/can make a multiplayer mod please post it here! Thank you!

[Piss King]

It would be cool if you could host LAN servers just to play with a few friends and then shut it down when you stop playing.

Multiplayer would not work anyway on clientsided coded games. It's too easy to hack on these games. Local Coop would be enough, to survive with friends for example.

This one of those games were multiplayer just doesn't fit within it. Despite the fact that Hinterland said it wasn't part of their vision it seriously has that feel that multipayer doesn't belong at all. Just walking around the game world and I couldn't see it being anything other than single player.

Even co-op would take away that feeling of loneliness sole surviving that the game has going for it.

If they decide to make a mutiplayer based game after The Long Dark is complete as their next project, they'll have my support. In the meantime let's just leave this game as is. It stands on its own without the MP aspect and doesn't need it.

Is there multiplayer?

Anytype of LAN or something that like 1 or 2 friends can play with you?

[Miandelam]

Nope,
There's a thread a couple of pages back for it.

[Cik]

Too bad. Its the only reason why I purchased Don't Starve Together.

MULTIPLAYER??

So i've got an idea for this game maybe for 2015, and that is of course to make it multiplayer.
It might not be the most epic idea but its good. Besides , who does not like multiplayer.
I would love to play with a couple of my friends so if its possible to make it multiplayer, please do it :D

I like multiplayer, in some games. I also LOVE that some games still go full single player. Not every game needs multiplayer. In fact, MP can actually ruin some games.

Just my $.02

[4nalFissure]

Should i buy The Long Dark? Does it feel repetitive? And is it good for commentaries?

[The_Raptor]

No multi-player it would ruin the survival aspect.
