Multiplayer?

[VerdantPlanes]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows whether multiplayer will still be implemented into Overgrowth?

[Jeff]

Yup, that's the plan. Unless you guys want water instead.

[Kalexon]

I'll take multiplayer. I can't wait for my dude to FIGHT your dude, you dead.

[marmorek]

Yup, that's the plan. Unless you guys want water instead.

Damn, I was hoping for multiplayer underwater fighting!

[Mike_Cuzins]

Yup, that's the plan. Unless you guys want water instead.

I would like to see Co-op.
And lots of fun multiplayer gameplay.
And mods.
And a new combat system.
And a prettier game.
And pretty much everything else we know you are working on, and some things we don't.

[Nuky]

I'd rather have water, Jeff. Jeeeff, give me water. I want water! Waterrr!

Haha, no, I'd much rather kick other people in the head over the net any day.

One of the main doods said that co-op would be a main feature for multiplayer (woohoo)

[VerdantPlanes]

Haha, word.
Yeah, I agree, multiplayer should probably trump water.

Multiplayer is infinitely more important than water: multiplayer is what gives games near-infinite replay value, given that it's an awesome enough game.

Water, on the other hand, would be totally badass, but it's really only a novelty, and won't give the game endless replay value, as would multiplayer.

But I think the Wolfire team already knows that

near-infinite replay value

Haha, that's right.
Even at this moment, there are STILL people playing Rune deathmatches out there...
Rune being a game nearly as old as me...

Coincidentally, I just re-installed Rune recently. However, not owning the expansion pack basically means that there are no servers to join =(

I remember having so much fun in the demo...

Mods + multiplayer = longevity.

Mods + multiplayer = longevity.

Mods + multiplayer + water = more longevity

Maybe not dynamic, but you could surely mod simple water in. I am of the opinion that the devs are pulling our collective leg about there not being water in the engine, unless David has a secret phobia or hatred for the substance.
