Just a quick question : do you plan on adding a multiplayer in your game soon ? I looked up several videos and your feature list and it’s just not there.

OpenTTD is still going “strong” because of this and it would broaden the public you could touch, for instance, I could play this as a team with friend but not alone.

Thanks anyway for what looks like a great game.

My concern is that once all the simulation fans own the game, the developers will be unable to make money with it as the game is so easily moddable. There’d be no gain in keeping the game alive on the developer side. Thus, an MP version could give them more money to continue improving the game and us at a certain point in time the pleasure to play with friends.

For me competition is the most important thing and that need a MP mode of some kind or at last A.I but A.I are also boring after figure out how to exploit them+ real humans are social. The open ttd was awesome for its MP mode where you can meet all kind of cool people and learn from their technique.

In a multiplayer mode or also A.I mode you can’t build a city to city track, press 8 time speed and come back latter to have x money and not worry about having any good locations near main cities taken or good factories taken so it is critical to the ‘’feel’’ of the difficulty level for example.

I know it is hard for the developer making a good MP mode option but I hope they think of it as a main goal after the release and I want to thank the developers for making such a awesome game that I hope is the game I have been waiting for all this years to replace ttd to a higher graphic and realistic feeling.

So, if the devs, like you suggested, would provide a MP for which you have to pay, they also would make little to no money.
If they add MP, then for free or not at all, so modders do the job.
This is not an MMO after all.

Also in what way are MMO player more loyal to there developers then Tycoon players? I can say I most probably spent more time playing open ttd then most MMO player playing there game heck i have been playing ttd since 90s.

You pay for MMO’s mainly for the server infrastructure, because thousands of players play on one server and for Game Masters and so on.
But nothing like this is needed in a MP for a tycoon simulation.
So making the players pay for a MP in Train Fever would be a horrible idea, since this would just look greedy and would deter the community.

It sounds to me like a subscription model what you’re suggesting but maybe I missunderstand you so please clarify what you mean.
