How to start local co-op

[mikkelek]

Hi

Anyone know how to start a local co-op? I have the game on two computers on two steam accounts, but I cant figure out how my son and I can play a co-op together.

Hope someone can help.

Best
Mikkel

Definitely understand the feeling, multiplayer was a huge part of development for FPA on consoles. It took a lot of time away from the core game, unfortunately, and SFPA's main focus is on the core gameplay of the series. Everything has been rebuilt and mostly re-animated from the ground up. I'd like to add local multiplayer some time after launch, but the main priority has always been to nail the essence of what makes a Fancy Pants game a Fancy Pants game.

It's a larger game than all other FPA titles combined, though, so I promise it'll be way more than just a free Flash game! Definitely understand the concern, but I hope we can convince you the game will be worth the price, multiplayer or not.

Lol; Im not the developer, @drnerocf is: http://steamcommunity.com/id/drnerocf
I just copied a comment he left on another discussion where someone was asking the same question.

Trust me, he knows how much his fans love multiplayer, and im sure after the game launches he will focus on making a multiplayer update asap.

Probably going to ask what everyone wants to see added to the game post launch, so just keep an eye out and give a shout after launch!

[Mitchell's World!]

multiplayer is very likely gonna come but not a for a bit so hang on tight!

[drnerocf]

Yeah sounds like multi is the most requested feature by far, so expect an update on it shortly after launch (I need to sleep eventually!).

[jackisnotcracked]

after release, get sleep. then worry about the stuff.
chances of online multiplayer in the near (or far) future?

[drnerocf]

Pretty doubtful for the desktop AIR version. I know some networking is possible, but we were using a fighting game rollback engine to pull it off last time (forget the name) which was constantly rewinding and fast forwarding the game so there wasn't too much local latency, really crazy stuff.
