Multiplayer when?

[Melody]

?

[Dede]

It's a single player game?

[Kuruseida]

Yes it is SP only. I am waiting to see if multiplayer is in the works or not so I can purchase this or delete it from wishlist.

[Chrysalis]

Pretty sure there won't be any multiplayer in the future

Agreed ...my best guess would be that they *might* implement a sort-of two-player co-op at some point, but likely not anytime soon.

Why in the world should this game get a multiplayer part?

Hey Melody~!

Multiplayer isn't our point at the moment, as it will take a lot of resources that we can spend on, say, Town expansion.
Graveyard Keeper wasn't designed as multiplayer game.

Omg isn't that the Vice City cinema dude?

Most MP games on Steam weren't designed as a multiplayer game, and then look what happened.

I wouldnt mind seeing a game like this with multiplayer but I think this game dosnt work well with it. unless you had palyers control zombies that could not interact with NPCs or something... but that dose not sound like much fun

Is there any point in time where you might consider it? My wife and I are enjoying the game, but would like to be able to play it together. For now we're playing on the same game, just different save files, but if it would come out, we'd buy a second copy. Doesn't need to follow the whole story, just some thing for us who finished it already and want more....

in some cases they were better for it,.. but in all cases it took resources away that could have been spent on a better base game. That may have been to the games benefit or detriment.
Generally MP is good because people like MP. Give them any crap game with MP and they might enjoy it just because they like playing with others, and not nessesarily because the game was even any good.
But that ruins it for the single player guy who wanted a good single player game. The "You can still play single player" arguement doesnt work either because it completely ignores the fact that the single player experience does suffer when resources are taken away from it to go into another direction. The extra development time and associated problems that come with this, especially bugs that may never be ironed out, simply adds even more frustration. Multiplayer is a complicated beast that adds these problems much more frequently than anything else, especially when it wasnt planned for from the start.

What I am thinking is, just because other games went MP and were better for it doesnt mean every game will be. It's a terrible stance for you to take. MP is a huge investiment on the devs part. If the demand and payoff for it isnt worth it, then they might be better off making sure the single player base more happy.
Even a game like Dont Starve Together has a majority of their players playing single player... on the version of the game thats designed for multiplayer. Go figure.

I dont mean to lecture you and tell you or others not to have an opinion. Thats not my angle at all. I think you definately needed to make the devs know that you are interested in MP for this game. Just understand why theres plenty of others who wont agree.
I am with possum lord, the town expansion would be much more appealing than playing with someone else in the same creepy basement filled with corpses and their body parts.
I tried playing stardew valley with my girlfriend for awhile,... generally we just didnt enjoy it because of the design of the game,... you end up splitting off from eachother, butting heads over small things, power thru the main progression of the game(since its not designed to support more players), ect ect... much better off playing together on a game better designed for it.

Stardew Valley wasn't designed to have multiplayer either, but lo and behold Concerned Ape knocked it out of the park and now I can enjoy my favourite casual farm sim WITH my friends....

Brings the game to a whole new level.

Just saying

This. :D

I'm glad they aren't focusing on making multiplayer personally, but I wouldn't say never, and a lot of people would love it for sure. The game feels super busy all the time anyway...not like there isn't plenty to do for two players!

Fixed it for you.

Not every game should have MP. There are plenty of MP games out there.

[olivander]

I only want multiplayer if I can hit my friends over the head with a shovel and turn them into zombies.
