Now a day game is all about MP or MMORPG, even now console games starting to have MMORPG... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
All the reason NOT to make a game MP. Otherwise, you're one more "Me too!" for the pile. Think about all the MP games out there. Now think about all the ones you played for any serious amount of time. Now think about all the ones you still play. Probably, the numbers of games that exist vs. the number you actually have time to play is very different.
That said, a quest based game like DD could have some multiplayer aspects to it, but it would largely be competition based. Who can solve the quests first? Who gets to the treasure first? Who finds the other player's cache of goodies and runs off with it? Or, the always obnoxious "Haw haw, I killed U dead, you suX0rz!" play.
Maybe the reason all games are about MP is because there's nothing else fun to do in them?
