Hello everyone!
Since launching Texplore into Early Access, I’ve been amazed by the support and feedback from all of you. As I look at the roadmap for the coming months, there is one major feature request that keeps coming up, and I need your direct input before I make a decision.
The Question: Do you want Multiplayer?
I am considering adding a Co-op/Multiplayer mode to Texplore, allowing you to explore and survive with friends. However, before I commit to this, I need to be 100% transparent about what this means for development.
The Trade-off Multiplayer is a massive undertaking. It isn't just a simple feature add-on; it requires rewriting significant portions of the game's core code to ensure everything syncs correctly across different computers.
If we go down this path: It will likely become the primary focus of development for the next major cycle. This means strictly single-player content (new biomes, items, or story elements) might be released slower during that transition period.
If we stay Single-player: I can continue pumping out content updates, new features, and polish at the current pace.
It is entirely up to you. I am willing to put in the work to make Texplore a multiplayer experience if the demand is there. If the majority of you would prefer to play with friends, I will make it happen.
Please cast your vote in the pinned discussion thread below. I will be watching the results closely over the next week.
