User blog:Daydreamr/On the topic of Co-op

There has been a huge increase in co-op titles in recent years. Especially one series has taken a few steps in the right direction, when they implemented the possibility to play in co-op as well as singleplayer: Orcs must die! (2)

In the first part of the series you had to build traps and fight through waves of orcs. You were able to upgrade weaponry and traps in the process. In the second part you could a) choose different characters which b) had different options for weapons and traps and c) were able to support each other. I really enjoyed Omd! but 20 some levels can only be played so often until they get boring.

Now, what has this to do with Slime Rancher?

In my opinion Slime Rancher has great potential for co-op gaming. For once, if the world expands, it would totally be possible to have a second farm and, more important, a second farmer. The farmers could/should have different abilities, like, for example, a device which, if "loaded" with the correct plort, could detect slimes of the same sort through walls. Or a vac, that can carry multiple largos. Or the option, to heal each other, lift/push each other over a dangerous spot, gather materials faster due to shared workload. But the most important factor over all is, that for most people the experience of playing together is richer and more enjoyable than playing alone.

Therefore i would really like to see some sort of co-op implemented later in the game.

So long
