I'm mightly impressed by the quality of this Kickstarter, their ambition to go Early Access in January and the sound and visuals of the game. There's even a 6 hour demo (like average single playing lifespan of a AAA game these days!) already available. $20 US.

Pledged.

Thanks for this Albert, looks great. But is it SP only? That would be a shame.

If I got confirmed  MP out of that. I'd sign up in a heartbeat. As it stands I think I'd prefer that eco Minecraft thing.

Yes MP would be an immediate pledge, but steam lists it as SP only. Not sure if the devs have any plans to expand that.

There you go, few dev posts on the topic, it is a bummer

- The game wasn't designed with multiplayer in mind since we didn't have the budget. :/ Maybe in the next game.

- We can't made it multi-player due to the system structure of the game. It is designed based on a single play. If we are doing extremely well in EA or after Final release, then we might have the resource to addmulti player function, for now we can't do it.

- We are focused on making My Time at Portia a great single player experience from day one, so we will not be implementing online elements at this stage. If the game does very well, anything is possible.

I have tried the demo yesterday, good fun and I see no problem with implementing multiplayer for coop playthrough. Shame they see it differently because it begs for MP.
