Multiplayer Idea

[TiiX]

I saw the PAX interview and heard that there might possibly be multiplayer in this game in the future IF they found a good way to implement it, so i thought i could give some ideas that i think could work.

1. Something like the system Test Drive Unlimited 2 uses where you're always online at all times. The problem with this one is that the worlds are random generated.

2. Something like the Burnout: Paradise system where you get a multiplayer menu when ingame where you can start lobbies where people can join your server if they want, of course with LAN support.

3. The minecraft system. I get the idea that this is supposed to be a game where you're alone in the middle of nowhere, trying to survive the dangers of the world BUT i do feel like this system could work because people are going to want multiplayer. I know i do.

I don't know, none of these might work but i would certainly love to play this with a friend or 2.

This has been suggested Multiple times and won't be implemented until later development , maybe even after the games full release.

The Devs have stated that some form of asynchronous multiplayer is a LONG way off, they want to focus on the singleplayer before starting multiplayer, if they start it at all.

Multiplayer would be a fun way of griefing. I'd probably burn someone's island to the ashes. No more grass, twigs, or trees.

The only way I could see this working really well is a drop in system like Fable 3. You drop in as like a henchman, maybe even just a pig, you don't bring anything from your world but can interact with items as usual in the new world. Take a few actions out or have it so that certain items can't be used and must be given back to the main player. /shrug

I think that'd be fun enough.
