Local co op PLEASE???

[Yeldo]

The game looks sickkkk but I would love to share this with a friend

Yes, it is a very common request, and it is a pretty legitimate one obviously :)

But for now, we really can't promise anything regarding multiplayer as it requires a whole new layer of work and for now our priority is to finish a game, hopefully a quite good one.

Local Coop is more likely to happen than online multiplayer though.

Of course! Local co op is the new trend especially because you can still play online with steam online streaming so if you add local co op it also bring online!!! Two in one

I'd be good with only local coop since i wish i could play this game with my wife. Of course, enemies needs to scale in difficulty to account the fact that there's two players in the game.

Please consider local coop during launch! It will def. bring more value to the game. Looking forward to release!

It is not that we don't want it, it would obviously be amazing, this is more that we are only 2 devs (1 programmer only), and we are already 3 years and a half developping The Slormancer, we just would like to finish it first and make it a good game.
This is only a matter of priority here, not a lack of will :)

That is completely understandable and I'm sorry that "we" sometimes always just want more and more and forget about all the hardwork indie devs have to go through.

I honestly hope you have a great success when it launches and I'm deffo gonna be here to help!

And you never know, maybe with the success it could an implemenation for post-release 1.0 :D

My first thought was: sad I can't try the demo

My second thought was: This reminds me somewhat of Heroes of Hammerwatch which is one of my favorite co-op games, but its fairly dry to play alone. I hope that you can figure out local multiplayer! And I hope that there is as many different forms of progression and meta progression (your town, each of the 3 classes' individual progression benefiting the other class in minor ways) as HoH.

Hoping for Online Co-Op so i can play this with my lady friend. <3

For me gaming shifted from online multiplayer to couch co-op.
I can have the most fun playing with my wife that does not have the same past with lots of gaming as me.

I would absolutely love if the game had local co-op.
There just aren't enough games offering that.
We even play lower quality games like Hero Siege, just because they have couch co-op.

Looking at who would play the game in local co-op, I think it would mainly be people in the same household. If you have a game with a campaign, it's less likely to be played in local co-op when you have guests. Games with short one time sessions have a better chance of getting picked in such a scenario. But from what i've seen in discussions in other games, I believe there are still a significant number of people who would play such a game in local co-op. And as said, while Steam Remote Play might not be the best (never tried it), it does provide an option to play a "local co-op" game with other people over the internet.

Online co-op as well !
