Multiplayer?

[Quaxo]

Will this ever get multiplayer like Don't Starve or is it doomed to be a single player game?

[MrDamose]

single player would be ok

[Lori37]

let them finish the game first and then eventually think about multiplayer, pretty please?

Oh dear gawd, I hope this doesn't spin off into some stupid multiplayer tacked on garbage I've seen so much of. In fact, lets not even bother with it at all and stick to what seems to be working for it quite well right now.

Just how do you even imagine multiplayer working with the direction it is going?

Have you even looked at their roadmap to know what this game is going to be?

Why does your name seem so familiar?

So many questions.


If some genius is capable of making this into a worthwhile multiplayer experience, then sure. But as I see it right now, it is perfectly fine as a one person only experience. If you really need the extra eyes you could try to do a stream and have people watch you play live.

Please don't be one of the sort that thinks multiplayer is easy as hell to just tack on after it has been finished. It isn't by any stretch. Integrating multiplayer into a single player game is rough.
Vice versa is quite the opposite.

No. In the original post they included an FAQ; one of these questions was "Will there be multiplayer?" Klei has officially said they don't plan on adding it and frankly don't want to.

I don't think you understand my comment.... I actually don't want them to implement multiplayer, because for me the game is as difficult as it is solo, let alone when you play with someone else.

It'd be a lot easier to add multiplayer while making the game as opposed to try and implement it on a finished, balanced produced.

You might not want a multiplayer mode but other players do.

You don't like MP? Then don't play MP. But don't wish for the game to remain a solo one, that's just being petty.

Inevitable Multiplayer topic. Random 3D demand next?

Inevitable 40+ loner leaving a sardonic comment, random anti-millenial rant next?

Single player is not OK you bleeping loner. Get a life and make friends.

Implementing Multiplayer has nothing to do with you playing solo. You can and should play in Solo mode. Look at Don't starve. You are welcome to play solo on your own if you wishes to choose so. Please explain to me how implementing multiplayer mode will affect you?

Multiplayer doesn't make any sense if there is only co-op there has to be at least a way to players can build in different areas and be able to fight after they found others that can be huge for this game and if they try it is going to take a lot of time for them to do it

I'm all for multiplayer, infact it's pretty much all I play as single player games don't hold my interest but how the hell would this game even work as multiplayer? Daft thread.

I can see why they're avoiding multiplayer with this game. Just imagine trying to code the synchronization of the gases alone. *shutters* Most games you just have to worry about specific object locations, not fluids.

On top of that how would multplayer even work? It's fun in Don't Starve because I have direct control over a character. ONI though you'd likely be sharing the same pool of dups. The only benefit to a second player would be placing builds quicker and having a second pair of eyes detecting problems. It's not like I can tell Gossman to go complete a specific task.

All in all if the Klei can and wants to make an "ONI Together" in the future more power to them, but I can completely understand why they have elected to make this a single player experience.

playing with old buddies and new ones is always good

I really don't see how multiplayer would be integrated in a game like this. I'd rather they just keep it single player and focus on new content like they have been.

If I wanted to play this multiplayer I'd just invite a friend over and we could both come up with ideas for the base
