Just to give you some hope: there's already quite a bit of multiplayer code in the game. I was excited when I stumbled upon it.

[Edgeldor]

Yeah,
I spent alot of time working on online, but I couldn't get past some lag issues. There is a 2 player coop beta you can download though. =)

How do you download the beta?

Right click game in Steam Library > Select Properties > Select Betas tab > Select beta - from the drop down list.
You're now opted into the beta. Repeat the process to opt out.

I'm honestly getting sick of hearing this. That every game NEEDS multiplayer or Online.

Do you even know what it takes to develop for online multiplayer?

Most indie games don't have them because of the restrictions in net code and being able to make it 100% lag free. They simply do not have the money or the coding knowledge/resources to get past these barriers.

This is why MMO's do not have full action oriented combats yet, it's the lag. MMO's and other online games use very clever tricks and mechanics to get around this lag.

People need to learn this and people need to shut up about it.

This can basically be boiled down to the following;

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH SINGLE PLAYER ONLY EXPERIENCES AND A GAME SHOULD NOT BE LOOKED DOWN UPON JUST BECAUSE IT HAS THEM. NOT EVERY GAME NEEDS MULTIPLAYER FUNCTIONS.

no ♥♥♥♥ lol

co-op was going to be local only, co-op was being done by another person not the main developer, if i recall.
this other person never finished there work on the co-op leaving it a shell.

pretty sure ive said this a few times many places in the forums.
the remake of bitdungeon one will have co-op.
bit dungeon 2 may get co-op in the future maybe if i heard correctly, but the old co-op was never finished, so it would be redone probally.

next time, use the search feature using specific keywords and it should show up past threads which the word was used in

You see. yeah you may get sick of it. but games like bit dungeon 2 are actually really good with multiplayer. just because you have an opinion about something doesnt mean you have to destroy other people's opinions

there is no beta atm anymore, the last beta was pushed thru once finished into the released version.
i dunno if he removed what was made of co-op as it was never actually finished.
but it could still be there, which cant say i know the activation of co-op, which key you press but that info could be found via the forums, or via asking in a thread with titled towards that question.

which multiplayer beta was local only, and bit dungeons 3 will have local multiplayer finished wise not a unfinished wise.

I just played the game and wanted to necro this thread. The game had potential to be great like Hammerwatch but the lack of online coop is a waste. Is there really no chance to still work on it?
