How to create local coop?

[Gaming_Nemo]

Search didn't find anything and sorry if this is already written somewhere...
but how can I create a Local Co-op Game?
In the main hall is the fireplace and when I go near it it says "Hold Button on Gamepad to Join Local Co-op.
No matter which button I press or hold, nothing happens.
Before anybody asks, yes the controller works - I can play the game with it. But it seem to doesn't work to add a second player.

im still wondering that as well

Currently works for 2 players, requiring 2 controllers from what I've tested.

Just press the button on the second controller near the fireplace.

At the moment, seems like the game is reserving both first controller and keyboard for player 1, hopefully they'll change that in the future.

So the second player, can't choose their own character?

To update this thread, I want to mention that:
In the current update (version 0.6.0), players can now play with up to 4 players in both online and local co-op modes.
At the Fireplace in the Hub’s main hall, players can interact with it to choose between Online or Local Co-op.
In Local mode, each character can customize their gender, cape color, and for further customization, they can return to the Wizard’s room (the first room before the main hall) to make more changes.
