CO OP

[rygor]

how soon will coop be and low latency what exactly does that mean like close together or like can i play with friend just slower

[Roryn]

Co-op is still a while away. How far exactly is hard to say, but I wouldn't say it's coming in under a year. Low latency online play means you'll have to play closer together; i.e. you likely won't be able to play with someone on the other side of the world. They'll also have LAN co-op.

They said PVP is coming first.

It´s funny how their EA info on the steam page says EA will last 6 months, 9 at most. I assume that was written when EA started, which is over 4 years ago :D

yea the speed is why i ask everything seems to be slow i get it its hard to make a game but really each addition such as pvp co op whatever else should be under a year each

I'm not a game designer so I can't really say about that, but that's probably true if they're focusing on it. The thing is that it's not a priority right now and it's hard to say exactly when it will be a priority. I'm going along with a sort of imagined timeline here; they're almost done with thaumaturgy, and once the role system and the rest of the (easier) thaumaturgy types are in place (which I would think maybe could take next year), they'll probably focus on finishing the game's content (i.e. levels and stuff), which I think would probably take under a year. Co-op and pvp are likely to be the next focus after that, so maybe close to two years away? Don't take it from me, though. I'm just making guesses based on stuff that the devs aren't even sure about.

How about getting a finished single player game first? This project feels like star citizen now.

I don't think Exanima will have coop only Sui Generis .

Exanima will have co op. Madoc has confirmed it, and it's on the FAQ.

That's exactly the priority.

Just have to wait 2 years and we'll have Coop ! We're almost there

Any multiplayer mode will launch this game sales to the sky.
People tend to buy cheap games to mess around with friends. I know it's not the cup of tea of everyone but again its a cheap game, a high quality, very polished cheap game.
Plus has very unique art style and gameplay. It doen't matter if people think its good or bad they are going to talk about it.
I like to dream about this game being the next Diablo II. Creating a new genre, becoming a great success. A gem for indie developers to look for inspiration.

Implementing multiplayer into a game built around singleplayer can potentially take a massive amount of time. Especially with all of the other priorities the devs have, I would be extremely surprised if we got multiplayer before the end of 2 years like some of the others are saying in this thread. I would honestly still be surprised if development for multiplayer began within 2 years.

They've actually already prototyped LAN multiplayer and actively developing it was a priority a few years back before they shifted priorities, hence the optimism of some people. But yep, pretty sure they shifted priorities because they realised what you said.

yea i understand its not easy but to me if you want it to be multiplayer or coop as they have said to me its better to stay one course im not sure how coding works for these types of things but to me u cant just go x2 for mobs if 2 player or 3 player x3 it just dont really work that way also taking a single player game and trying after to make it coop im sure isnt easy and so switch as they have done by the sounds of some makes me wonder if its ever going to happen and if they take to long the game is going to be to old to far gone for anyone to care anymore. yes i dont puncuate or spell very well sorry
