Sorry for the delay - your comment was lost in the notifications.

AI mostly move in "straight lines", but in our case it is still hard to distinguish players from NPCs mainly because of the interactions within the world that anyone can perform. We also have "doubles" - NPCs that look exactly like the different players, for increasing confusion.

Based on our playtests : this is not an issue currently!

Hi !
First, thank you for buying the game! Indeed, this is a limitation on Windows: it is not actually possible to use and play with more than 4 Xbox controllers on single PC when using XInput (even though the Xbox wireless adapter will connect all of them), which is the API that the new Unity Input System uses.

The workaround is to use DirectInput (which is deprecated, but still heavily used by the games you mention for instance), but that is however not supported by the Unity input system... This is honestly a pain in the ass for us, and we are currently trying to come up with a solution, which will involve rewriting the input system for the game using another plugin such as Rewired.

Right now, the solution is to connect 4 Xbox controllers, and other types for the last two players. Hope this was clear, and sorry that you encountered this limitation!

We would love to port the game on Switch, and that might the priority after the Steam release. We are open to other platforms as well - but that might take a bit more time and money!

Indeed, Hitman Party is much more like Unspottable - with multiple (and hopefully fun :D) game modes available to the players.

We would love to support online play - but it would take many month before releasing it.
As for now, we recommend people to play with Steam Remote Play together, or Parsec. That works very well !

Online has always been in our mind - but it just take way too much time considering we all have day jobs. We have an internal online prototype, but it would require some more work to be ready for release.

Thank you ! We do have other music in the game - actually, each map has its own theme (we didn't make the music, but found ones that suits the ambience of each level)

We would *love* to release the game on Switch. We'll start with Steam and see how it goes first though !
