4 Player Split Screen?

I three other people who would love to play this

That is my understanding but I have only seen 2 player local on the demo videos. 4 player split screen would be pretty cramped and I'm not sure how they do dynamic split screen to shared screen with 4 people on the fly (has any other game done this?). It's possible this will only be 2 player local and 4 player online. I hope that's not the case but I haven't seen evidence of the contrary unless I missed something in all the updates.

I can see 2 players having the dymanic split screen but if it's 4 players it would just be all the same screen

Will depend if they've found a technical way to do 4 player dynamic split screen in the Unity engine they are using. Google searching the subject I can only find discussion and support threads on handling 2 player dynamic split screen. If not I still hope they include 4 player local even if you have to stick together as a unit (shared screen) or it's permanent split screen (you'd probably be apart most of the time anyway with 4 people). Either would be a better compromise than capping local only to 2 players and the only way to do 4 players was online.

On the Kickstarter FAQ page:

Will you have 4-way split screen?
We need to do some R&D on this still, but that is also on our list of things we hope to accomplish.

"The game of course comes with dynamic split screen for 2-4 players. We'll be showing screen shots of that the next time."

I hope it can be toggled on or off but that answers what I wanted to know.

It officially doesn't have 4 player split screen and it really should have it.

Apparently it does, but online only which is dumb.

It does have 4 player local coop however at the moment this is exclusive to the PC version only, the console versions only support 2 player local coop. Someone told me in an AMA the creators did on Reddit that they want to add 4 player local coop to the console versions but it depends entirely on how well the game sells. I don't have a link to that source but I'm sure Google could help on that one. Here's a screenshot I took of the 4 player dynamic split screen

The game is 4player local co-op and online on PC. We are working hard on getting 3-4 players local to work on consoles as well, but consoles is currently only online 4 player.
