As you can see, in version 0.4.1, the multiplayer has been removed. But that doesn't mean you can't play Survland with a friend. No, the multiplayer version can be downloaded separately, but now, most likely, this version will no longer be updated. Why did we decide to remove it? There are three reasons.

First, by introducing multiplayer, we tried to increase the activity in our game. However, this did not happen. Mobile games in GameJolt have a hard time because the platform was not designed for this, so adding multiplayer did not bring anything.

Second, optimization. More precisely, there is no optimization. Some may have noticed that the FPS has dropped compared to previous versions. And this is bad.

Third, work on updates. Introducing multiplayer into an already written game is not the same as introducing a new mechanic. This is painstaking work, you need to be a professional to introduce multiplayer into an already written game without compromise. However, I (the programmer) am not yet a professional, sorry. So I (the programmer) had to go for a bunch of crutches which, of course, killed the code. Again, I would increase the optimization over time, but if that were the only reason.

That's all the reasons for removing multiplayer. I remind you that you can still play multiplayer, no one will delete the version with it.
