Sadly multiplayer probably won't be in the final version of GearCity. Originally I started the game as a pure replacement for Detroit because in my mind's eye Detroit has some breaking flaws. Being that I could never find anyone to play Detroit with, I never thought about multiplayer until it was a little too late.
That being said, I wrote the code to be rather flexible. With a few months of work I could build a multiplayer version. The entire database/storage/save game system is all one sql db file so playing it online wouldn't be too much of a hassle.
The keyword there is "few months", that's why I've decided to press on with the single player version. If sales warrant me to continue working on it then you could see hotseat, direct online, and maybe even unlimited multiplayer features in a 'free' or 'paid for' expansion.
Thanks for your question.
