Multiplayer and Multiple Accounts...

[Ferret Tate]

We have multiple computers in our house, and I know that if I want to play Lego on more than one at the same time, Steam complains and says I need another account. Sort of annoying...

My question is about Multiplayer in the future. If I want to play with my son in Multi-player mode on two different computers, am I going to have to have two Steam Accounts, and buy the game twice? I know that I already have to do this for MineCraft, I just wanted to know if this is going to be the same policy here, because if so, then I want to buy while still reduced pricing.

I am guessing it has not been declared, but I will ask anyways, is there going to be same screen side-by-side game play?

Thank you.

well probably, and multiplayer isn't even close to being realesed

Hi,

If you want to run on two separate PC's your going to need two user accounts with the game bought on each one. We intend to use Steam's matchmaking servers, where it's not possible for the same username to 'find itself' for a game.

Regarding the split-screen co-op, that's something we're still looking into. It can become very resource heavy to try running it in split-screen, and will mean we need to make some performance tweaks. We're working on it, but it's not a guaranteed feature at the moment.

Hope this helps answer your question in some way.

Thanks,
Chris

Thank you for your prompt response. It is what I thought the answer was, but I just wanted to verify before I got setting up a second steam account for no reason :-)

Thank you.

@ttcrose I hope you get a good overtime pay ^^


There will be online Multiplayer in the future, and therefor you will surely need two copys of LEGO Worlds and two Steam Accounts. This policy comes from Steam, not exactly from TTGames, but its quit common in this industry.

But there is a chance that you can play together on one PC in the future, but not granted.

Online was always planned. Its local co-op that we're deciding on as an addition. Split Screen multiplayer comes at a heavy rendering cost these days. It's one reason why many games opt not to include one.
