@jomaxro Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, I realize kickstarter time estimates were really really optimistic, and I love the game, hope there is some kind of timeline horizon you guys can share with us soon, as a developer I understand the problems that are faced during alpha and beta testing processes and I am glad the team in Radiant is working this hard.

I canāt speak for the team (Iām just a forum moderator), but in the past when asked for a new timeline, the team declined to give one because all their previous ones were ābadā. Not saying they wonāt give one eventually, but just cautioning

Though I agree on Multiplayer should not be an after thought, I like the fact that Multiplayer was not the only direction for this game. I know a lot of people like āchallenging their friendsā, but I am glad when a game does not skirt simple AI development due to the fact that most people will play multiplayer. With games like this, they are meant to be long term play. Most times Multiplayer games are pitch battles. How long have you spent on one town in this game? Would that be fun with multiplayer? To some maybe. For me, this is a great start to what I believe will be a great game.
Have a multiplayer stonehearth LAN or constant server, that allows PVP and alliances or something!
Co-op Stonehearth! Add a mode where a settlement embarks with more settlers, with two players each controlling half of the settlers and managing resources together!
http://www.stonehearth.net/roadmap/
Itās in the roadmap, so itās planned for the future and has been somewhat discussed many times in the past. But I believe they want to get the main game close to complete before touching Multiplayer. But it shall be so! (Unless this is all a very elaborate practical joke! 
)
I hope not! But, it appears that the roadmap hasnāt been updated since alpha 16?
There is no point in updating a map for parts of percentages, right? And itās difficult to give a measure to it when there is so much yet to create.
Iām hoping that they were waiting to update the roadmap until after these latest meetings with Riot due to the recent company changes/expansions!

It was discussed in one of the latest streams about the roadmap being outdated and that the team plans to make a new roadmap because the game has expanded so much since the original map was made. Right now theyāre working on making things work for single player before theyāre even considering a multiplayer.

here is what i think my vid yes that is me @.@ so to modders to devs so ya
so far the multiplayer playtest looks pretty great and iām gonna try to avoid mentioning the super obvious stuff like it not being able to save and only one player getting all the notifications and random encounter things but here are my thoughts
the cursors for others are shown which is nice but badly made and it looks super weird i donāt like the way it looks
a sort of ally and enemy system in the game would be nice
maybe give each player 6 hearthlings starting out to encourage teamwork or stealing to make the game feel more dynamic in multiplayer and to help host run better
loving what iām seeing so far and cannot wait im hoping a very early buggy version will be available at least by the end of summer 2018
being able to see the other player and where they settled/all their stuff imo is a bit weird and i donāt like it especially since thereās a chance you wont be working together so have seperate visions and maybe have an alliance the players can put on that lasts a certain amount of time and prevents them from fighting each other until itās over and they can see what the others see
these were the biggest things i noticed and wanted to talk about

So do i get it right? @TMS_Stoneaxe
It already has a multiplayer??
they did a desktop tuesday of them tring out a very early version they threw together but that means it might/probably will come by the end of 2018

@TMS_Stoneaxe oh nice, may i ask you for a link?
some of the devs trying multiplayers very first play test
they couldnt save and only the host main player would get notifications and his computer had to run/handle everything
Thanks a lot!!
