Multiplayer ==============================
  • On multiplayer

“Co-op multiplayer will be server based, and the server will determine the right mod list. We can probably do some sandboxing where we store your per-server mods in a different directory, so you don’t have to manage your mods every time you hit a new server.”

"For multiplayer games, the server will determine the list of mods that are in use for that game, and all players will need to have those mods installed.
So if you created a game with a certain set of “fair” mods, I can’t join your game with my uber-sword-of-whup-ass and wreck shop.
We will have some system to sync up the mods between you and the server so you don’t have to manage them manually."

“More than 1 and fewer than 200 … I dunno, we gotta figure it out! I mean it’s a simulation game, it’s gotta make sense, it’s not probably gonna be 100, but, essentially, we’re not sure.”

  • [urlhttp://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1590639245/stonehearth#faq_58352] Will the PvP be opt-in? [/url]

“Yes. You absolutely do not have to participate in PvP if you don’t want to. Also, even if you do participate, only a copy of your city gets uploaded for other people to play in. Life in your local city goes on as normal.”

  • [urlhttp://www.twitch.tv/radiantentertainment/b/410049905] Will a guild system be implemented if and when Connected World is implemented? [/url] - Livestream - 2:23:19 [color=#aa00ff][size=18] New [/size][/color]

“Yes, I’m not going to say yes yes, but it’s pretty core to connected worlds to have the ability to band together a bunch of players in a guild and say our cities combined and connected are an empire.”
