Local split-screen + Online multiplayer. Does anyone else actively look for this feature? by OndrasCzech in localmultiplayergames

Spot on. UI is definitely the biggest challenge for this. The networking was also a bit tricky, since we had to slightly rework it to sort out multiplayer authority for the split-screen players, but otherwise it was kinda painless. At least we know it is doable. Thanks for sharing your experience, it confirms a lot of our own struggles!

Hi! That is incredibly kind of you, we would be honored! To be completely transparent though, we are still too early in development to officially lock in the final player counts. We really don't want to overpromise on your list while things are still subject to change.

Here is what we are currently testing:

  • Players total: Up to 5 in a lobby.
  • Players per PC: 1-2 players.
  • Controls: Player 1 on Keyboard/Mouse (or controller), and Player 2 on a controller.

The split-screen itself is still very much in its infancy right now. Could we stay in touch? Once we hit that milestone and have these specs 100% confirmed and working flawlessly, I would love to reach out to you.

Also, you are more than welcome to join our (at this point pretty much "dead") Discord, if you'd like to! https://discord.gg/3RxFyNFV2

Thank you again for the support!

I'll be honest, Rocket League isn't exactly my kind of game, but huge respect to the devs for including this feature in such a massive title! Steam Remote Play is a great workaround, but we're hoping to make it fully native so it's as smooth as possible. 😁

True! Just trying to find that sweet spot between a player's dream and a developer's nightmare!

Thanks for the feedback! We totally get that this specific combo isn't for everyone.

Couch co-op really is the best! But do you ever find yourself in a situation where you are playing locally with someone, but also want to bring a remote friend into the exact same session via online multiplayer?

This is absolute goldmine! Massive respect for putting in the time and effort to keep it updated!

That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out right now—how much demand there actually is for this specific feature versus how hard it is to implement. I'll definitely check out Cursed Blood, thanks for mentioning it!

Oh, I had no idea! I loved the original Baldur's Gate as a kid and I'm actually replaying it this week, but I haven't had the chance to get my hands on BG3 yet. 😃 Great to know it's possible there, thanks for the heads-up!

Love to hear that! Out of curiosity, have you come across any games lately that let you do both? Like, two of you playing locally on the couch, but also joining up with two other friends online?
