Local co-op available?

[Fish]

I love the idea of coop card games. There are very few on the market. However, since it's not listed on the store page, do we have the option of playing local coop, or does coop have to be online coop only?

(If when the companions are implemented and we can pass the controls around, that'll do. Better yet, if we can create our own companions for local coop sessions that'll be fantastic!)

Hey Fish!

we haven't figured out how to make the co-op local, yet. The main issue is that the turns are simultaneous so the control would have to be passed all the time OR we would have to fit two or three sets of cards on the screen in a readable manner so everyone could play at once with controllers.

And companions are implemented now - you can check them out in the current build of the demo!

I see.
Thanks for the response. Def plan to check it out.

Will there at least be a possibility of LAN co-op?

Right now Hellcard uses Steam Networking, so aside form setting up an emulator probably not. However, eventually, we will move to our own backend and then maybe.

However local co-op would probably happen before that as it would be easier (if we figure ut how to put all the cards on one screen).

That's good too!

You have local-multiplayer tag. I literally bought it only for this reason.

Those tags are user-defined. The developer assigned tags are on the right if you scroll down a bit.

That's really weird that someone would assign that tag. We are working on a version of singleplayer that possibly could be used as a local co-op but there is nothing of that kind in the game now.

Hey I recently got my girlfriend into gaming and she loves card building games!

Saw this one and was gutted it is not local coop!

Hoping there is an update soon thanks!

I'm really interested in this game but only to play local co-op on my big screen with a couple friends. For now we'll have to stick to slay the spire

[Darth Jar Jar]

This is such a good game, local play is a big miss here!!

Hello :)

I'd like to know if the local multiplayer is accessible now? 🙏🏻
I'd love to play to your game with a friend on couch coop as he doesn't have a PC but only a mac.
I saw that you were working on this last year, is it still in the pipe / available now? :)
Have great day!

We worked on it for a while hashing out UI ideas but these were unfeasable. So right now we are focusing on mod support, local co-op is on hold.
