Hi there! I agree about multiplayer not being a priority, but development wise I believe it’s better if they start soon, so that it’s well woven with the rest of the code and doesn’t cause many issues. I’m also very curious and see how it will work!
Golden Duck, Feathered Duck and the other type of duck I don’t remember the name of are rewarded for forum participation every three months. If you are very active in the forums, you have can get one too!
