Multi-player games need YOU!
We ought to get together a list of multi-player games and, on say the last few hours of voting or some time we can all agree on – rendezvous in-game.
Because for the poor soles rating games when they are alone in the game-would, it must be hard to appreciate them.
I’ll be sitting in my multi-player game hoping you’ll come and appreciate it!
Definitely agree! I did multiplayer games the last two times I entered and part of the reason I switched to single-player this time was the lack of participants and no easy way to round some up (even in irc) – Particularly the sort of multiplayer that requires other players to be online, in order for there to be anything to do. My last entry is still running too Tiny Multiplayer Online RPG
I wonder if, for future LDs, a special category on the Play and Rate Games page could be set up to highlight multiplayer-only games. I realize this could have unintended side effects, like unfairly favoring multiplayer-only games over other games, but if it were in its own tab, such that you had to select it intentionally to see them, I think that downside could be mitigated. The benefit, of course, would be that by allowing anyone interested in playing or rating a multiplayer game with other players would have a better chance of someone else being on that game at the same time when they do. Just a random thought.
