Hi there,

since we are making good progress on the multiplayer update I have decided that we should fully focus on it right now instead of releasing any content updates in-between. Many aspects of the game have already been refactored (inventory management, player actions, map interactions, vehicle management, environment sync). We are currently putting finishing touches on the NPC handling and this also needs to be tested thoroughly - and that is no trivial task in a distributed environment (clients and host).
So the next update will feature the Host and Client multiplayer mechanics which will allow you to play with up to 3 friends (4 players) hosted by one of them. My best guess at the moment is that it will be ready at the beginning of March.
In a second phase we will then provide the means to setup a dedicated server but that probably won't happen before summer time (in the northern hemisphere that is :)
After the initial multiplayer release we want to massively increase the map size (4x bigger than it is right now) and do some long awaited content updates (items etc.)
Cheers,
Ben
