Why is this game not co-op?

[NinjaBeest]

Looked at yet another simulator which should definitely be co-op and I don't see it. Great game don't get me wrong, but co-op should def be an option I feel.

Because people don't want to play with others sometimes and this game is small enough co-op would just be a hassle.

“This game isn’t coop because people don’t want to play games with other people sometimes. Co-op woulda make it more of a hassle.”

This is just factually incorrect lol. Co-op gives you the choice to play with others. Not require it.

Not every game needs to be co-op. Adding co-op makes a game exponentially harder to code.

True but the dev was considering it, after the option to play the tcg is done.

I know a substantial amount of ppl simply unwilling to get the game atm because they would only find it fun to play with a friend. So if the dev does eventually get to it, it’ll bring a bunch of new players.

Having options is always better, not saying it’s required, just would be nice.

I don't think it's easy to add co-op.

Would we rather them spend their development time on content that everyone will play or co-op that some will play?

It's very easy to add co-op with the Unity engine, HOWEVER only if it was designed with it in mind from the beginning, patching it in later becomes a huge time sink/money expense to a dev team.

Because the devs designed it to be a single player experience. Not every game has to be Co-op.

I 100% agree this game doesnt need to be co-op but I would love for it to be. I know me and my friends would easily put over 100 hours if it was.

Correct you do get a choice BUT would you rather have a SINGLE dev working on something a very small fraction of players care about or bug fixes and meaningful new content that everyone can enjoy?

I'd hope the latter.

Saying "this is false" does not make it true.

If you want a game like this , a simulator , go play Supermarket Together. It's free and seems to be what you are looking for.

Correct.

Also correct. It takes time and money and was clearly not designed for this.

This game would have to be MUCH bigger to have that even be fun. There'd have to be more micro-tasks like cleaning the displays, sweeping/vacuuming, cleaning windows, wiping tables, emptying garbages, etc. Don't get me wrong, if I was making this game I'd make it much larger with more small tasks that friends can contribute to. A larger store, more product types, etc. With this games popularity there is room for competition, maybe someone will make something like Super Market Together or whatever that was called. I'd love to see a larger scale version of this game with more micromanaging of tasks.

I prefer to sit here and play with myself. That way no one messes with my stuff.

[Kankaku]

Co-op would be nice!

you know there's supermarket games on steam right now that have coop in them, at least one of which is free. That said i'd like the option here too.

Every. Game. Does. Not. Need. To. Be. Co-op.

Go find one that is, and leave the ones better made for single-player alone.
