What kind of multiplayer is announced? Local, Online or Both?

[Vental]

While online multiplayer is great, I would be happy with Local Multiplayer with remote play together. Being able to play on the same system means you don't have to make your friend buy a game just to play with you. Not only that, but I take my steam deck and portable monitor to places to play local multiplayer games on in an attempt to make new friends.

I already re-invented this game physically using poker cards and 2 four-sided dice, but if it's getting supported on the game itself, I won't have to bring the poker cards. And that's exciting. Presuming local multiplayer is atleast part of what is being teased.


Since it's turn based, latency isn't an issue.

certain mechanics like the magnifying glass and the burner phone rely on the fact only one player can see it. it's gonna be online

The magnifying glass does not matter because the shell is gone by the end of the turn. Idk what the burner phone does.

The phone gives you one hint about the actual round, it could be "7th bullet is a live one", for example. Which you use and keep track of it when you play.

In the menu, the locked multiplayer has a globe icon so I guess it will be online multiplayer, which sounds fun because the game is an instant grab for its low price and instant fun.

Yeah, phone would have to be disabled in local multiplayer then. :/

Yeah, especially when you see the Dealer using the phone and you don't even know which hint he was given haha

The only way the multiplayer should be implemented in the game is via online connectivity. This way every every feature that the game provides could be expended and not cut so the local multiplayer could work. Frankly it's ridiculous to imagine it to be local multiplayer. Split screen? Or passing mouse in between turn like in turn based strategies? This is plain nonsense.

The only thing that would need to be cutt is the phone. Also, it's only nonsense if it's one or the other. I don't see why it can't be both.

You still didn't said how it should be implemented. How would that work in your opinion?

Well. . . it's a turn based game. . . so. . . after a bit of critical thinking, I would presume that means. . . you would take turns. o_o

Wild, I know.


For Fks sake, why would you think a turn based game be split screen?! What, is standing around watching the other guy on the other end of the table while you do nothing THAT CRUCIAL to the experience??? Honestly man, use your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ head. Clearly it perspective shifts based on whose turn it is.

It's rather you who should use your head for once. I don't know if you noticed when the opponent gets a lot of items they can be blocked by one another. That's just one of the exemples why one player should be allowed to see only from their perspective.

How's that working out for ya?

The venue is the problem. I take it to a card shop that is ONLY OPEN WHEN HOSTING YUGIO TOURNAMENTS. I swear, yugio players suck man. They are so tunnel visioned. I setup signs a whole setup, multiple controllers, essentially that of a PAX booth every week to give these guys something to do while they are in between matches. . . but they rather just walk around aimlessly talking to no one and just stair out the window or do some other loner ♥♥♥♥. It's insane. I never had this problem when the previous owners ran the place. Magic the Gathering crowds were way better. (For context, the old owners framed the place as a hobby shop hangout spot where as the new owners just frame the place as "the place the yugio tournaments are hosted at").

I'd go somewhere else but driving and owning a car is outside my budget and it's the only place locally that's within reasonable walking distance. It works, atleast it did with my switch back in the day. . . you just gotta find the right crowd and venue.

I'm only familiar with the itch io builds. I wasn't aware there were things added so that you can do things during your opponents turn now. That's new if that's the case.

Why persist on with the discussion when you don't have all the date? Frankly I really wonder how could work in local multiplayer. And every scenario I have in mind seems to be detrimental to the games experience.

Again, I was comparing it to the itch builds since that's my only knowledge base currently, but those builds don't seem to have any problematic aspects to local multiplayer. Listen, yes, online is definitive and needs to be an option in either scenario, but sometimes it's just nice to play with someone whose in the same room with you as an additional option, even if it means not getting all the content.
