Just look at what the little crew at Hello Games has accomplished with No Mans Sky over the last few years!Īt any rate, though, I do believe I owe Monomi a small apology, as my tone in my original comment could have been less abrasive. Now, if you are talking about sharing quest-lines, syncing all foundational elements and re-writing all thematic elements to suit a multiplayer narrative, then yes that would be absolutely ridiculous to ask of such a small team, without significant sums of "support" but the Monomi Park crew is a talented little group and I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that if they really wanted to make it happen, they would. And as I already stated, limiting the multiplayer aspect (at least in the beginning, as the foundation is being built) to being able to visit friends farms (or vice-versa), would help keep tasks manageable, and the decision to expand would always be available. Having players host their own games where friends can come and visit their farms and look around (if not actually going outside of player-owned territory) can solve the majority of the syncing issues, for example. Your assertion that customizable models and the like is 'very hard work' (paraphrasing) depends, at least in part, on what you think of as hard work!Īs both a 3D graphics-artist (hobbyist, with one "commercial" project under my belt) and someone who has worked on a VR game, I can tell you de facto that designing, modelling and rigging things up isn't always as hard as some people might make it look and, while I'm aware that there is, of course, much more to the matter than modelling and rigging, the same holds true throughout the majority of the process.
This should suggest that I am well aware that adding multiplayer isn't a trivial task by any means and that rather than demanding the developers rebuild the entire game into a multiplayer affair, I am suggesting (within the consideration of the fact) that the demand for a multiplayer SR experience seems to be more than high enough to warrant directing some of their resources towards developing at the very least a simplified model through which people could share and show off their farms to other players, if not using it also as a framework upon which future iterations could expand and elaborate upon it. I can understand that they might not want to go from the ground up re-designing things to fit a game-model where everything is synced throughout the entire spectrum of their design, but giving people the ability to play say, local co-op or at the very least allowing people to visit each-others ranches and go run around together isn't too insane of a task. Not to be rude, but I think you might want to try reading a little more before you respond next time. They don’t refuse to add multiplayer because they don’t feel like it, there are legit obstacles and problems they aren’t able to surpass. How about you get someone to complete an incredibly difficult task while the developers are doing the already difficult task of updating the single player game. Then they would have to make models customizable to keep up with the quality of everything else.Ĭompany’s don’t have infinite resources and telling developers they is ignoring their fan base because they won’t add something is incredibly ignorant.
If they make it multiplayer that’s a lot of time and resources the developers are taking away from other updates. Having two people introduces a lot more mechanics and exploits and glitches.Īlready the initial problem of making two clients communicate properly is already difficult. It’s not like a new item or anything easy., they have to change everything about the game. I don’t think you understand the amount of problems making it multiplayer makes.
