    Of course, multiplayer, it's so easy to add multiplayer to games now, especially with the multiplayer ray gun developers get. We just zap our game, and poof, multiplayer!

    Yeah that'd be cool! But the current multiplayer is Nice also ;)

    by the way folks, i never said implementing multiplayer would be easy!
    And i think rpg elements would be very apropriate for Ravensword. Open-World or not.

    Unfortunately, developing the multiplayer component of games including working out all the kinks in the netcode to make clients sync up with massive discrepancies in latency and setting up the server infrastructure to host or do matchmaking isn't as simple as checking a box in Xcode. These things take tons of time, cost money to host and mostly just aren't feasible for most games that after Apple's cut a developer might see anything from a few quarters to a few dollars per download.

    Thank you! I heard hosting a server is like 700 bucks a month for a 1,000 players.

    You could probably have it if you'd settle for 5fps.

    Co-op is always the best of gaming. Nobody wants to go through hours of dungeon / quest themselves. It will eventually get boring. We all learn this in online gaming and the good old LAN party.

    Bring it!!

    Jet Car Racing would essentially be weed in the form of an app. That and WAN multiplayer and I will never leave my house again. Touchgrind also could use some S.K.A.T.E. style multiplayer or that mode in Tony hawk games where you take over as many obstacles as possible by performing the best trick on them. Meteor Blitz co op would be nice. Above and Beyond multiplayer would be the shit. And to end my rant Gangstar multiplayer and Rolando multiplayer where each person controls a different Rolando would be sick

    Not with the new server hoster gun that all devs get now! Point it at your multiplayer game (check out our other gun here), and poof! It is now supported by a FREE server!!

    Just curious as to what you think about this. What if Apple created some kind of XBOX Live service?
