I have very little experience, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think multiplayer games are even more difficult to do on your own (compared to single-player) because you usually need a critical mass of players, possibly even playing at the same time.
I made a multiplayer game for a game jam and I had to setup alerts on my phone for when people joined just to ensure they had someone to play against (although I didn't get it setup properly until after the voting period ended). Even that didn't work because many of the players were in a timezone opposite mine, so I was asleep when they connected.
