Multiplayer question

[lordbob5000]

I'm confused, a review says this doesn't have online multiplayer, but the game info says multiplayer and split screen co-op. That seems to imply online co-op. I want to play with my friend who is far away, will this allow us to play together?

At present, no. Multiplayer might be coming in a further update.
But you can try using the new steam feature "Remote Play Together", I have not had time to try it out but I have heard it works with Aeon's End.

I was wondering about the co op feature as well. I wanted to play my usual game with 4 players. I'm guessing it wouldn't work like that since it doesn't explicity say it but thought I would ask to check anyways.

nm, reread what it said, looks like it is sharing one player
"Steam Remote Play Together is built in to Steam and lets you share the screen & mouse."

Edit, just saw on the kickstarter it said this had pass and play

"Since Aeon's End is a cooperative game, there will be alternatives you can use to play multiplayer until we can add it to the game. You can have multiple players use the same computer (hotseat or pass & play), or use screen sharing via Discord, Skype, Google Hangouts, etc."

So how does coop work on steam and does each of the 3 other players need a copy of the game?

Steam Remote Play Together does not require your friends to own a copy of the game. You can learn about it here: https://store.steampowered.com/remoteplay

Any news if REAL multiplayer is coming? Remote play is trash.

The developer response doesn't make sense either. Real multiplayer would promote sales, since everyone would need a copy. This is "normal" for any multiplayer game.

If you look at their other responses you will see that they have stats on other games they developed which does have multiplayer, the percentage of people who actually use it is very low, so it's a lot of time/resources to service a small group of people, more content (expansions etc) is "worth more" to them than adding Multiplayer.

So in other words they want money, and not longevity of the game... :(

I don't know what they want, this game looks absolutely horrible and I love the card game.
