RELO Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Friends, back in 2018, the developers from The Indie Stone announced the start of work on 41 versions of their game, Project Zomboid. Since then, we've been eagerly awaiting news from the developers every Thursday. For the past year, all players have been waiting for the release of the multiplayer mode (MP) for the beta version. What could be better than an exciting survival in the harsh world of the Potsapocalypse with a loyal companion? Development was significantly delayed, and many players had time to lose interest in the game. We believe that the developers are brave enough to release in open beta test the version of multiplayer that they already have. We are not talking about stopping work on it and a full release. Development should continue until the MP is polished to a shine. This is a beta test, so take advantage of the players' help in finding flaws and bugs! What's in it for the developers? Thanks to multiplayer, we should expect a large influx of players into the licensed version of the game. Many players refuse to play the 40th build, as they consider it outdated and relatively unplayable. As sad as it is, but the players, there is not much motivation to buy a license, due to the lack of working multiplayer. We ask the developers to release the multiplayer mode for the build 41 beta in open beta test! We are ordinary gamers who just want to enjoy this masterpiece that everyone is waiting for. Друзья, в далёком 2018 году разработчики из "The Indie Stone" объявили о начале работы над 41 версией своей игры, Project Zomboid. С тех пор мы с нетерпением ждём новостей от разработчиков каждый четверг. На протяжении последнего года все игроки ждут выхода многопользовательского режима (MP) для бета версии. Что может быть лучше увлекательного выживания в суровом мире потсапокалипсиса с верным товарищем? Разработка значительно затянулась, и многие игроки успели потерять интерес к игре. Мы считаем, что разработчики смело могут выпускать в открытый бета тест тот вариант мультиплеера, который у них уже есть. Мы не говорим о прекращении работы над ним и полным релизом. Разработка должна продолжаться до тех пор, пока МP не будет отполирован до блеска. Это бета-тест, так воспользуйтесь помощью игроков в поисках недочётов и багов! Какая в этом выгода для разработчиков? Благодаря мультиплееру стоит ожидать большой наплыв игроков в лицензионную версию игры. Многие игроки отказываются играть в 40 сборку, так как считают её устаревшей и относительно неиграбельной. Как это не печально, но у игроков, нет большой мотивации покупать лицензию, в связи с отсутствием рабочего мультиплеера. www.change.org/p/the-indie-stone-требуем-разработчиков-project-zomboid-выпустить-мультиплеер-на-сборку-41-бета-eng-ru?recruiter=1207504917&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=vk&shareType=vk&use_react=false&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=65dab619fb954f5fa85ae27f0d925db5&recruited_by_id=1bc43eb0-bfd4-11eb-b34f-595c8a58e131про KI5 and JohnSCD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI5 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 oh wow, he made a petition LOL RELO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlooFlar3 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I do agree that most players refuse to play B40 and are waiting for multiplayer to get released on B41. Mostly people are only wanting 2-8 players, since our group is waiting for at least 4 player and unfortunately Steam remote play doesn't cut it at all for more then 2 players, But creating a petition is a bit much..

SWIFT Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Totally agree with this opinion, but mp is not the only thing team working on right now. But I think we need to wait, until closed beta testing is over, then it will be available for public testing RELO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seliviox Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 With all due respect, there's no point in waiting any longer. The project, namely multiplayer, needs an open beta test. That's why it's multiplayer. I purchased the game on October 6, 2014, and in 2021 I can't play it with a friend. Give us the opportunity to enjoy the best sandbox and help the developers. We want OBTMultipleer. Thanks RELO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffitMan Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 With all due respect, it's not your choice whether you wait or not. The waiting is going to happen so you either do it patiently, or whinge at every available opportunity. Those are your 2 choices. RELO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDan Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 There's also a third choice: playing multiplayer which is still available to play in Build 40. It's still in the stable branch for that reason. Regardless of how much you prefer Build 41, it's a lie to state you cannot play it in 2021. Not to mind remote play in Build 41 too.

Individual interest does not override the group, even ignoring that buying a game doesn’t give anyone control over it or the business that makes said game. Likewise, MP being in the game for 6 years doesn’t just miraculously cease to exist because you refuse to use it. I’m glad people are interested in the game, that that interest is sustained, but some of you are letting the vision of mp you imagine override the reality of it. It’ll be released when it’s reasonably fun to play and stable. Until then, the second-guessing, the entitlement to an optional beta, and the rewriting of history in an attempt to make a stronger point will achieve nothing other than make us a bit disappointed and a bit less trusting that our community can handle the imperfection of reality over their idealized version when the time comes to release mp to iwbums. I am immensely thankful to everyone that bought the game, that stuck with it for years. We know we wouldn’t be here without you. At the same time, we’ve grown the game immensely over the years and our future as a game, as a company, and as a community rests on how build 41 is received. We’ll not willfully jeopardize that just because the wait is longer then any of us would like — especially given that this has been our default position most of the last 10 years. The fear that we’ll suddenly be unable to carry on due to a lack of interest, if only we do not go “faster” has never been realized. In fact, any time we’ve tried, we’ve been resoundingly punished for it, from reviews, to criticism on the forums, to poor sales. Instead, the longer we take, the better and more explosive the reception has seen. So please, don’t worry. gabriel rodrigues brandao and RELO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caturday Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) People gonna complain. I remember how people complained about "dead" insulation system upon release. Let them release the +- polished product. Edited June 1, 2021 by Caturday RELO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hat_destroyer Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Well, a lot of time has passed, and there is still no multiplayer and is not expected in the near future. every week I read about adding new content and solving problems with the game and multiplayer, it is terribly annoying that the next update will surpass only a couple of new sounds, and work on multiplayer does not bring the desired results according to beta testers. as a result, we have a disgruntled community that is tired of waiting for the release of multiplayer. A lot of time has passed and interest in the game will only decrease in the future. Ecn and gabriel rodrigues brandao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're a month away from the timeframe of 'six months' we gave. Granted it might be the new year, but I'm not sure where you get 'not expected in the near future' from. 25 minutes ago, Hat_destroyer said: interest in the game will only decrease in the future. Personally getting quite sick of reading these, when it's evident every day it is not the case. The fact that 25 minutes ago, Hat_destroyer said: a lot of time has passed yet is pretty telling that interest isn't waning. 25 minutes ago, Hat_destroyer said: we have a disgruntled community The community is perfectly fine, some people don't even care about MP, or are understandable and patient to wait for it because they get that making something worthwhile that will last, takes time. With past of experience of 'Build 41 will never come out, interest is dying', and the game taking it's time to get there, and it paying off it's pretty easy to know what we're doing is for the overall benefit of the game.
