Are you planning to make it multiplayer?

[spako92]

Dear Developers,
In the past few days I am really thinking bout buying this game, but I am just not sure if it worth it.
I find it a really good idea and a nice innovative game.
I saw a lot of reviews saying it got so easy it is getting boring in a short period of time. Like no rough weather, map showing where the fishes are (i know it is optional), fast travel and stuff.
Like this in like 3 runs with a full storage upgade and 30 mins u can always buy the next boat.
So to deicide if I am gona spend 30€ on your product can you please tell me if you are planning to make?:
- Simulator, hardcore mode (rough weather like in earlier version to suffer with borge :D, only sonar, no fast travel, manual docking)
- Multiplayer (If this gona be a multiplayer co-op game, like you can share your game for multiplayer from own PC to make a crew with your friends, there is no doubt i would buy this game right away.)
Thanks, and keep up with the great job you did so far!

They are planning a custom game mode where you can turn features on and off, as I understand it tho multiplayer is not being planned and is highly unlikely

Thanks a lot. Thats sound good, so it is custom difficulty. But i am not sure why they are missing such a huge opportunity to make 5 times the sales. Like I am 90% sure a lot more people would buy it even just with a 2 palyer coop (Which is more and more common even at games like Far Cry).

Most likely a mix of different factors, easier and cheaper to make a single player game with a small team multiplayer comes with it's own set of unique bugs and game code. Here's hoping fbs2 has multiplayer

From what I understand it's very difficult to add mp into a game after the core game has been made, but if they did they would definately make more sales. I have two friends who like the game but won't buy it because it's 1p (too boring). They both said if it was mp they would buy it to play co-op.

Multiplayer would require a full rewrite of the hgame, and it would take years.. So sorry not happening now ..

You could Hire Help.. The Farming Sim 15, 16, & 19 guys did it well

Good multiplayer games are short games... simulators (good ones anyways...) are LONG games... like this one... ur buddy doesn’t care if you got the biggest, baddest trawler out there... one of you is likely to invest the time, and chances are it’ll be invested in single player.

Also... if it were a one-man kayaking game...ya maybe multiplayer would be good... but nobody wants to work on your boat dude, and you probably don’t wanna work in some other guy’s freezer while he drives!!

Actually i would love to work on anyones boat. Personally 3 of my friends would love to play this game together, like we could work on the same boat, 1 drives, 1 guts, 1 haul, millions of oportunities. I can mention a previous example of Farming simulator. I love it, that i can work with or for my friend. We play together, we talk, we have fun together.
I could even play Euro Truck Simulator like just sitting on the 2nd seat, watching the road, doing nothing, until we are playing multi.
