Hi,

I'm working on a 2D beat' em up (like little fighter) and since I'm new to Gamestudio I don't really know if I should first create the game based on just one player and than change the code so that multiplayer works, or should I start writing it directly into a multiplayer game?

In my opinion you should start to write a singleplayer game
because this is easier and you will learn to script.
Besides in the beginning you have to rewrite parts of the script often so that you can add multiplayer features later. Or you could start a new, bigger project.

do the prototyping and Art/Animation development as singleplay game.

If you want to go to multiplayer you need to rewrite
a lot of the gamemachanics code later.
But writing it as multiplay campatable from the beginning will
slow you down even more, if you are not familiar with
this type of game-programming.
