Won the Controller Lottery Achievement

[KrisQ]

As the official servers are basically empty most of the time, I'm looking for players to do this achievement. Someone willing to help?

I'm always willing to jump into large multiplayer games ^_^. The bot on the Discord channel is good for knowing when they're going on, however, it's been a while since there's been an 8+ player game. I've considered trying to organize a large once-a-month game on a specific day, but it's a bit difficult since most of the active players are in very different timezones than I am.

If you just want the achievement, there are cheesy ways to get it even with just one person. I'm also considering dropping the achievement down to fewer players, now that its harder to find active games - I certainly understand wanting to get all of the achievements =).

Thanks for the reply and good job with the game :)
From time to time I really enjoy playing a couple of rounds with a friend, however at the moment the completionist in me is screaming for that last achievement :P

I’d assumed that 4 people were needed (2 players per keyboard), that could be decreased by one person for every two controllers.

What would be a decent way to get it with 1-2 people without owning a stupid amount of controllers? :P

Though there's little purpose (besides making testing easier), you can run multiple copies of Splody on one computer ;). Might have to run Splody.exe directly, and not through Steam, if Steam complains. I think there are also some "virtual joystick" programs that can add virtual joysticks (though I haven't tried that approach myself).

Thanks, running multiple instances of the game worked like a charm :)
Keep up the good work!

Thanks! It's not the way I wanted to get the achievement, but works well. Your game is very fun, it's a shame that is so hard to find players.
