What I mean by this topic is this: My friend is always telling me how awesome his creations are when he's playing SP. I think it would be very awesome if he could, at any time during his SP experience, press ESC and choose "Invite Friend" which would allow me to join in on his SP (which would now be MP) and run around in his world.
This would let those of us who play at home share our worlds on the LAN.
I'm thinking having it work something like how Startcraft 1 used to setup the mulitplayer. Just enter in the IP of your friend and you can join in on his game (only if he allows friends to join of course...)
Your thoughts?

Just a minor bit of pedantry: serverless MP would mean having multiple people playing on the same computer at the same time. What you're proposing is to have your client work as both an SP client and an MP server.
Pedantry... man haven't heard that used in a LONG time. Glad there are people out there that still carry an education.
Anyways...
You're 100% right. But as before, without all that server console crap, make it the 'dumb' version of a server.

I agree though, that it'd be cool to have drop-in play :smile.gif:

Show me where he actually said that. Otherwise I only remember him saying that. My memory is 89 percent accurate at this four dimensional range.
