Plans for local co-op?

[cheese.9898]

It makes sense to add local co-op now that controller support is finally here.
I'm really hoping that it will be added because that was kinda' one of the main reasons that i bought DST :p
I prefer local multiplayer to online because with local you can play with a friend in the same room as you and you can play with friends that don't have a decent computer, wi-fi, or anything else.

I can't believe ps4 version has local coop and the pc version don't. The same developers are killing the pc gaming. What a shame.

I'm filling the refund form now...

Wait... What? Does the PS4 actually have that?

If that's the case, then I'm actually kinda' pissed off. I'm tired of the console community needlessly getting more features than us.

theres a local coop mod for the original dont starve

[saltyNacho]

I'm going to add my two cents here.

As a parent, it's not feasible for me to buy a computer for every child, plus a separate copy of the game for each child. And if they have friends over, I don't expect their friends to bring a computer with them.

And split screen may not be great on a monitor, but Minecraft works great with the screen split four ways on my flatscreen TV. So I'm sure Don't Starve will work great too.

And about that mod for the original, it was a great attempt by someone far more talented than I, but it requires everyone use the same keyboard.

Exactly, and you can just use an HDMI cable to hook the computer up to the TV.
HDMI cables are cheap, so it's not difficult to play split-screen games on a big screen.

Yes, that's exactly the same situation I live every day with my nephew.

I'm a hardcore gamer, so I have my main PC on a room but I use the streaming function to play it on my living room. We are so used to play in that way but is so sad when we discover great games like this without an local coop option.

I usually remember that time when I played video games with my friends and brothers everyone together in one room. Don't get me wrong, I think the multiplayer system is a good way to get people to play with around the world, but we shouldn't forget the joy to play with people by your side.

Only imagine if I were to tell to my nephew "hey, go to your home and connect to your own PC to play with me".

Yay, lets make more work for the already hard working developers. :dswilson:

They are currently working at polishing Shipwrecked to become the best that they can offer, whilst updating DST with some neaty new changes and balances.
At this time, I doubt they need any more things to work on as of now, because that's just pushing it.

Sure, split-screen is a cool feature and all, being able to talk to eachother one on one, BUT...
that can be done via online text chat or online voice programs (Skype.)

Sure, it would be cool to have two people roam the map with the same computer, BUT...
that would take up MORE space, you see, wouldn't it be hard on the game if it had to constantly load new things that each of the people find?

Sure, it would be cool to have two people on the same computer playing online, BUT...
This could cause some problems. Again, regarding processing data and whatnots.
Having 6 people online in a game at once (or 12, with mods.) with the exception of two of those people playing on the same computer could seriously hurt.

And almost none (if not all) mods wouldn't work with splitscreen. If that's an issue.

You obviously didn't read any of the posts above.

So they're adding split screen to the console edition, but there's nothing for the PC edition??

[Kortak]

Just place 2 PC, 2 controllers and 2 monitor and 1 couch in 1 room and .POOF..there is your local coop.

I have a GAME room this way with 5 computers and 5 screen (usually for racing)... but im filthy rich...so,,not for all people. But stil an idea if you want friends to come physically over in place of the OLD LAN party where everyone carried their own PC's

Local split screen would be great with a 21:9 monitor, which in case is what I have :)
