Hello everyone!

Today, I want to talk about our plans for launching multiplayer in Ecliptica. It's no secret that survival games are most fun when played with friends. And while Ecliptica isn't a classic survival game, playing with friends is always more enjoyable!

We plan to implement multiplayer for small groups, up to 10 people. This feature is scheduled for the Alpha version of the game. It won't be in the upcoming Demo release; that will be single-player only.

Game development will be divided into chapters, with each chapter including both major and regular updates.

Our Approximate Game Development Roadmap:

0. Pre-Demo: This is essentially the preparatory stage we are currently in. We might conduct playtests for anyone interested here before the demo release.
1. DemoHere we will showcase the basic game mechanics and, of course, Ecliptica's open and infinite world. This build will be available for free to all users as an introductory version of the game.
2. AlphaThis will be the first paid version of the game, available in Early Access. Multiplayer will be integrated at this stage.
3. Beta: At this stage, we plan to actively expand the world and its mechanics. We won't reveal too many details yet; you'll learn more as we progress.
4. ReleaseThis stage will mark the game's exit from Early Access. The goal is to expand the game's accessibility, introduce new platforms, and so on. More details will follow as we approach this stage.

So, for now, there's one clear piece of news: we have definitively decided that multiplayer will be included, and we are starting its implementation!

Stay tuned for the latest updates!
