Multiplayer - What Really Is it?

RedlerTech

Hey Guys,
I wanted to discuss how multiplayer is going to be implemented to GameSalad. From a programmer's view, there are many possibilities. I think the GameSalad team should be more specific about the term "multiplayer".

1) Is multiplayer online multiplayer through Game Center (this limits us... A LOT!)?
2) Is multiplayer just the ability to connect from one device to another using bluetooth or wifi?
3) Is multiplayer the ability to connect to a server?!?!?! (AMAZING, unlimited possibilities)?

All those definitions are correct. Multiplayer is multiple players no matter how you cut it. There is a reason it's so low on the roadmap, that's going to be a doozy to implement in a way that people can easily hook into.
