Online Multiplayer?

[Purple Haze]

I think you should! Don't be afraid to do so and let us build and manage together.
Its my wishlist for this game.

Yes, I liked settlers 2 in multiplayer. But settlers 4 was nice in multiplayer, too. And i think it´s better to spread resources or do only multiplayer.

No multi in this game please, multi is the cancer of too many games.

i have no idea how someone can say that mutliplayer does anything to a game except had a mode for people to enjoy.

That's how game development works.
MP often indeed is cancer and it detrimental to SP experience, quality and content.

Hm, i love multiplayer games. But mainly with a friend. It´s more then just duplicating the fun.

Here's how the MP works

They could pull off multiplayer if, like how in Theme Hospital you competed against rival hospitals, you compete for a score over an in-game time period, based on patients cured vs killed, VIP ratings, etc.
You could also potentially "steal" patients and staff that have either been sacked or sent home from another hospital , and try to increase your score by capitalizing on your opponent's follies.

that is one of the ways they are incorporating multiplayer elements into the game

In the vid that´s no multiplayer. I am looking for parallel playing. And have some sabotage possibilites and get bonus for healing VIP - something like this. But playing at the same time on the same map.

Yeah but that's not in. I was just showing people the MP that is actually in the game.

While I don't nessecarily oppose this, what you are asking would take a LOT of time. effort, and money to develop and properly balance. This is certainly a seccondary mechanic that should be developed after the game is fully polished, bug free, feature complete, and released. Much like how Stardew Valley did it.

Theme Hospital was multiplayer.

Learn from the settlers, factorio, anno, transport tycoon, the original theme hospital, etc.?

Yes YOU should learn from these games.

What is the difference in these games and this game?

They are TRANSPORT games. Not building management games.

MP is not always good.

Instead of knocking it down completely, just take into account that it would be OPTIONAL. Which is something everyone seems to forget when it comes to stuff like this. It makes me laugh.

Nothing to balance if it's co-op multiplayer, which is what users tend to mean when they say multiplayer. No one wants a deathmatch or winner winner chicken dinner in a casual management game.

The problem is that MP is often developed to the detriment of SP.
