Multiplayer

[AestheticDreams]

Wouldn't it be so cool if you could play with your friends? You can all be in different domains/colonies or the same one. You all could battle and hunt together.
It'd also be pretty great for roleplay!
Anyone else agree with me uwu?

Falcon has stated many times before that he doesnt plan to make Cattails multiplayer, as he has no experience making online/multiplayer games.

He actually once hosted an online event with Untold Tales. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI12tNJy-rU ... But making a game like Cattails multiplayer would be a lot of work, i.e. why it took Concerned Ape nearly two years(?) to get multiplayer ready.

Oh wow. I didnt know about that. But i could have sworn he said he had no experience. Perhaps he meant on a much latger scale thet this game may require. I dont know.

Back on Untold Tales, he actually had to host multiplayer games on his own computer. That means unless he manually opened the server and kept his computer running, multiplayer was unavailable. (so he only opened it on holidays and special occasions)

Cattails would need an actual large-scale server though, not just hosting a game on someone's home computer, which is where the problems come in I would imagine.

Or... Connections could be based through Steam much like SDV. I.E. a player would host a multiplayer file, then others could join through joining the game on Steam.

Well that could take a really long time, like how it took Concerned ape so long to do that, as both games were not built with that function in mind. It could take well over a year for that to happen.

I agreed up until the uwu but it'd be pretty hard. Great idea, however.

That's the whole point of "what if"! c:
