Split-screen + friends online

[[OPP]SuperCow]

My wife and I want to play this with our other friend couple.
Can my wife and I play split-screen locally in the same game as our friend couple online?

Spirit Island does not yet have built-in online multiplayer. You will be able to play remotely via screen sharing using Steam Remote Play Together or other services like Discord, Parsec, Skype, etc.

[Broxigar]

sadly during remote play and parsec you share the same mouse :/

[MigrantP]

Yes, that's how those systems work.

What a pity. Not really a full version of Spirit Island then, as one of the main draws of the game is being able to do the planning in parallel.

Should honestly be called "Spirit Island - Solitaire Edition"

Remember, the game has just started early access and as said above, MigrantP said "not yet" which implies that it is planned.

Bummer. I really want to play this game with friends as I love the boardgame version but not being able to play in parallel sounds like it would take forever trying to remote play with 4 people.

Ah, missed that thanks.

I just based it off the FAQ on the IndieGogo saying they had no plans for online multiplayer, as it was only 10-15% adaption in other games, and would consider it with $150,000 funding. So I thought the message was more along the lines of "This is what will have to do"

The devs should add multiplayer to their intended feature list on the store page.

Our goals include adding the following content & features during Early Access:
Interactive tutorial
More animations and visual effects
Extended music and sound effects
Card library screen
England adversary
Thematic island boards
Steam Achievements

Not if it's not planned to be added during the Early Access period, like that list states.
It was a whole year after Sentinels released before multiplayer was able to be added to that game.

Thanks for that. I might buy it in a year or so

Your'e still right about them adding it to intended features though. As it stands now, they have room to wriggle out.

sadly it really doesnt work with parsec or remote play.. Sharing the same mouse, no chat in game, really ? for a multiplayer game? Plz guy :D

They have a chance to redeem that aspect with time, but for now, might as well consider it singleplayer only.

As a solo implementation of Spirit Island, this is great. As a general implementation of Spirit Island... it's lacking a critical aspect.
Once there's a built in multiplayer system, I'll be recommending this to everyone. If it was multiplayer already, it would a perfect lockdown game!

[[OPP]SuperCow]

Yeah would buy a copy of this for my wife and I PLUS my buddy and his wife would each buy copies...if we could play together in an enjoyable way. Will definitely pick this up if multiplayer is properly implemented.
