What about splitscreen coop?

[Wolpertinger]

Any plans?

No plans for splitscreen coop at this time.

Please consider this, there are still a niche that doesnt want to play with random people on internwt but having fun with friends at home. The game seem dope, but I dont want to buy another game that depends on the online community.

Sadly we didn't design Earthfall to be a split screen experience. With the demands of 4k resolutions and increasingly high demands on graphic fidelity, it makes it very challenging to do split screen.

This is a common request and something we would like to explore as a studio in the future.

Thanks for your answer. An option might be to use graphical downgrade for splitscreen. I am quite sure nearly all who play splitscreen could accept it.

Not sure there are tons of us, but splitscreen is more about the couch experience with a friend than graphical fidelity. I bought your game because I like what you're doing, but it would be a shame not to allow local co-op.

I switched to PC gaming because of the options it typically provides over watered-down console experience. Things like running two game instances at the same time, tweaking graphics, adding aim assist hacks for my wife, choice of keyboard or controller, etc. Seems like developers are leaning more towards "my way or the highway" these days which completely defeats the purpose of a game.

I prefer to to be able to run my software any way I prefer. And I definitely don't like this trend of developers telling me I'm not allowed to play a game with my family members because reasons...

Oh well. Here's your early access money in hopes that you loosen up, chill out, and offer a more user-controlled experience down the line so we can all enjoy a little Earthfall the way we choose. Especially since the online popularity of this game will dwindle and taper off, the only thing left will be us couch gamers.

Split screen is not common with PC games. It is a console thing.

It's not. Most current split screen games don't cut split screen from PC releases. The thing is split screen is not common on consoles too.
Also Earthfall is multiplatform title which lacks true PC features like modding support. Just your ordinary left 4 dead clone that will be forgotten in a month. It's competent, but lacks anything to stand out. Nothing too PC-oriented about it right now

me and my GF second the idea of adding split screen in the future. We would love to see it in game for online play with our siblings.
