Multiplayer!

[Duski]

So Multiplayer when? Would be a lot of work but seeing independent groups of cats all working and fighting for territory together would be pretty cool. If not full multiplayer then a co-op play option against other CPU controlled groups would be pretty rad not gonna lie!

Curious to see your thoughts on this :D

The creators have said they will never make multiplayer, because they have no experience with it and Cattails was built from the ground up as a singleplayer game. But it would be really cool

I will buy this game in a heartbeat if it gets multiplayer.

it would be incredibly cool, and i can already think of many fun things that'd happen with it, but multiplayer is hard to code and (as violetwolf said) they already said they wont make it (which is kind of a shame, but whatever tbh)

Does anyone know if they have tried to code multiplayer before? I just feel the game will get stagnant and fade into the aether if they don't try to go out of the box and out of their comfort zone.

Granted, I am no game developer so I have zero idea how hard it would be to do any of that. Just an eager fan that wants a game to succeed. :)

I don't know if theyve tried it before, and i agree the game will slowly fade away if they don't try to go out of their comfort zone, but I think multiplayer, while it'd bring the game more success, would be REALLY hard to code. You'd have to sync up the devices, etc etc. Shame it's probably going to disappear :(

Yeah the game might die if they don't try new things. I just don't think multiplayer is one of them (they mentioned how a team with experience is taking a few years to make Stardew Valley multiplayer)
Maybe it could be sort of multiplayer where you can send items and messages to other people?

That would be really cool!

YES WE COULD ROLEPLAYYYYYYY
i edited as soon as i posted)
edit: gruop chats would be kewl

[Duski]

Any form of co-op or multi-user communication or gameplay would be phenomenal.

[ShyAvacado]

How would it work?

in its most basic form, a messaging/trading system probably

ohhh ok

I can see it as its own game, join or make a clan and have others join.
To prevent being beaten/bullied by those who played longer/higher skill level, have it where clans need to be a certain level to allow battle with others to keep newbies safe.

Or have a certain map tile a battle only tile for that day or so.

Even if I don't play this game super much, it's still very adorable and I hope the creators "put a paw in the water" to try the coding for some multiplayer/co-op. ^^
I would be sad to see such a cute game disappear, so I certainly hope it doesn't - I know I have lots left to do in it and will keep playing it every now and then!

The Co-Op/Multiplayer could be an expansion, or a stand-alone game yeah.
Just the same spirit!
(perhaps they could poke Stardew Valley's creators, or Terraria, and ask how those people did their coding? Might be possible to get some help there!)
