Local co-op?

[Green Skeleton]

It says it supports Remote Play Together, just checking.

Any progress on this? I bought this to play locally with my gf but I now see that it doesn't have local co-op support which is very sad.

Is there a reason why you can't just make a MP game and invite her?

This is great! I was going to post a few questions about local co-op experience but figured I'd search first to see if there are plans. THEN ask about the experience. :)

+1 for Local co-op! I LOVED the way they did local co-op in Wildermyth, looking for something similar here.

Just to be super clear, the game does technically support local co-op already. It just isn't the best experience yet. Right now, you basically share a controller cursor and need to coordinate taking turns on your own. It's a similar experience through Remote Play Together.

You can absolutely do it now, but we plan on making it a much better experience in the future.

That sounds like shared controls and not actually coop lol. I know its not on you, but remote play is just poorly optimized by steam

Hope real local coop will come soon!
Come on guys!

has this been updated at all, is it worth doing remote play, or would you suggest purchasing a 2nd copy for nephew. Thanks in advance

Any updates on this?

So, how well did this age? Does it have Local Co Op?

Can my wife and I play with 2 different controllers; on the same couch?

Yes, local coop is supported.

[Incomitatum]

Thank you for the reply. That's all I needed to guarantee a purchase.

Im having a issues with local co - op. Whenever the 2nd controller is activated the game says use change party but the button is grayed out.

Edit: Also the game is aware of the 2nd controller because the green circle is moving around we just cant press change party

Someone else [ https://steamcommunity.com/app/1527950/discussions/0/7252559508583908044/?tscn=1713339347 ] ((LOL : guess we can't link to Steam Community)) (( this was a link to the CoOp discussion, here on STEAM, where we were talking about Stolen Realm vs Wartales and their "co op"))

Just stated that the Local Co Op is pretty broken and that it's essentially just handing the controller to your friend during THEIR turn.

How true is that?

Can I sit, on the same couch as my friend/wife, with 2 controllers, and 1 copy of the game, and play this game bug free?

I'm tired of asking. I'll just have to refund the game and give it a ♥♥♥♥-review if Not; since even the Developer has implied it DOES Local CoOp.

EDIT: This game is hella fun, I only have one constructive gripe about it (different thread that) AND; couch Co Op works pretty damn well!

The ONLY bug I've had is sometimes when I'm near an Interactible and my wife is near a different one, and she pushes A, it might trigger what I'm next to.

I don't think the styles of the cursor match the game; but THANK YOU for making such a fun romp. I rather love how you can multi-class from the get go.

Just a handful of hours in and I'm glad to have handed over my $20.

We play with 2 Nintendo Switch Controllers.

I've played a lot of CouchCoOp games, my wife and I pretty much ONLY play them.

As such we use Xoutput (to create phantom 360 controllers) and HidHide to get our controllers working well (hiding the native "Switch" controller profile).

Even though Steam has integration, unity games especially are notorious about muxing the inputs or over-detecting the controllers.
