All Things Multiplayer - Post here

[CodeHorizon_Mod_Tyler]

OK, after discussing with the devs we have decided that we will allow this thread to be the only one on the discussion board for where this conversation can take place.

MP will not be added to the game but feel free to discuss it.

Please be constructive and polite when posting, we know that MP is a much requested feature but it has been explained many times why it wont come.

Feel free to post ideas, or thoughts etc.

devs do not have the ability to create MP. They have said it - they do not have the competence to do it. Sad because this games cries multiplayer

Don't spread lies, the community voted for console release instead of multiplayer at early development stage.

hey, remember that time when beamNG said multiplayer was impossible due to the way the game was coded as a single player game... have you seen the multiplayer for beamNG, its amazing.
if the DEV TEAM would allow people to mod this then we could have some fun with this game that isnt the same 4 machines over and over untill we need to do a cleanout then repeat till your board.
this game COULD be great but it becomes a pain in the @$$ to get the dirt from far in the plot to the larger machines because you have to vehicle hop to drive 30 seconds then hop back and oh look im bored again.

its not that they cant add multiplayer, they just wont because they are lazy and i 100% believe the devs absolutely ignore this post, i dare a dev to respond to this.

I know to make a mutliplayer that request a lot of resources and money but to have a Gold Rush online I am ready to pay for.

[Txus]

mulitplayer please, the game gets boring, if you are just doing everything, and the developers should listen to those who have paid for the game, to make improvements, or are they just to raise money? The excuse of having to rewrite it is not valid, there are other games that have multiplayer released, and I think that the developers are wasting this game and turning a deaf ear to the users.

Multiplayer is important, no one has to be alone.

Any word on Gold Rush The Game 2? with multiplayer?

[Gefferz]

Being this is the most advanced and best mining game I have ever found, I play a lot of simulation games. with your skills and knowledge as a company and developer you could make the best mining Multiplayer on the internet that would be a success.
Other people are already trying, but something about this game brings you back. does not even have to be multiplayer could be co-op 4 player as you would do that in a group. This game has been a huge success, But I hope one day you'll do a multiplayer version as the refinement you've already gone to shows it's possible just not in this game.
If the developer even reads this thanks for all your efforts so far and I hope you keep making amazing updates, but please one day consider a 4 player or multiplayer mining game as it's possible for you to do!

Co-op and multiplayer would be very good for the game and it's life span. as of late there isn't a HUGE following because the game gets boring and has NO real draw other than play 100 hours realise that after doing ALL the work you don't really get very far. Snowrunner has the similar daunting tasks but they gave you a co op.

I am a business owner and operator and sure as there is day light in the world I would out of business if I ignored my player base and just gave them poor excuses and small tokens to placate them.

I'm not sure why there isn't real good response from the developers it is sounding like the majority of the people who PAYED for a game are asking for advancements and the only thing your crew is happy with is the fact your releasing it on counsel.

What is going to be the reasoning when the player base on counsels asks for the same things or more. Another chance to advance and it will be dropped by the way side and ignored.

Why ignore... Because they already HAVE their money why care if they get repeat customers or even a positive review about their choices. It may be a couple of mucky mucks in a office who never even played a game making the decision saying it's for the share holders or what not.

Simply put you are going to loose more than you gain from the poor management of your services. Charge a monthly fee for server use, Let select modders go into the game and help or just have them develop some new and fun things for the game. why turn a blind eye and just say no.

Poor business choices, It comes off as a big corporate slap like ALL the other big dogs... Hang on even the small dogs in the gaming industry use or even encourage mods to enhance and make game play more fun.

Doesn't really matter whats said here. they've been paid so they don't care and have the same reasoning as always. sad i deleted it already and won't be a buying the counsel version for my kid who did enjoy it until he got bored because was doing ALL the work.

I've waisted to much time venting here and in my heart i am very positive they won't read it after and take anything away just another dollar bill complaining

[Flammin8]

make it where at least you can hire workers to help it's supposed to be like the show right well they all have hired hands

[auerillies]

To the Anti multiplayer people, I understand why they are not doing it. But to make a game like Gold Rush where the mine boss literally hires hands to help and not give the players the ability to "hire" friends is interesting. I mean at this point limit the game to hand tools and pickup trucks. No real person is owning this much heavy machinery and running it themselves. Also I bought the game and all the DLC's....Maybe the community can help with this "Co-op Mod"

SIMPLIFIED MULTIPLAYER:

I dont know if this is the simple version.

Copy DIABLO 3 STYLE multiplayer.

Mega chat of online players. If you want to join their game they can invite you.

The benefit of the online chat is that it would allow help for others who have questions. it would just require mods or improvements incase of bots.

i have worked on games in the past that were not originally made to have multiplayer, however we have gotten it working with the little asset we had. That said, with a fully completed game being coded and run on unity, makes the whole rework to multiplayer process that much more difficult. unlike the node system that unreal engine has, you need t code every little bit in script using an extension program not included with the actual engine. unreal engine makes it a lot easier for developers to make a game, publish it, and make major edits to the main code as well as add features in that were not originally there. the background of game coding is a lot more complicated than what you see in the forefront. you have two main ways of doing it, script editors, or node editors. one is included with the engine while the other is not.

and yes, i am a dev. however instead of being part of a company that never released any games in its lifetime, i am now doing this solo. it has taken me 2 months to get a skeleton to a model that didn't have a skeleton, and get animation and code working for it. within that 2 months i've also worked on world development, and other models. but now that i know what im doing, progress will probably be a lot quicker

we all have had interest in this game to be multiplayer, but sometimes you all have to step back and look at the bigger picture. i caught a post where they had said that the game was coded in unity. after reading that, i cannot blame these devs for not wanting to make the game multiplayer as it is very tough to make a game multiplayer once it has been finished and in its final form with unity.

so please be nice to your fellow devs. we play games just as much as you do, and enjoy what we do, but also hate it at the same time. oh man... game design is stressful. i have a sheet of drywall sat next to my work area so i don't punch holes in my wall

peace

I've wanted this game for years and even put it on my wish list. I keep deciding not to pull the trigger and buy it because I feel I'd have more fun playing it with friends vs by myself. Imagine running a gold mine with heavy equipment in real life by yourself... no thank you. I'll wait til multiplayer comes even if it's 10-20 years.

can you een gold rush the game mp make
