4 player coop

[Awesome player]

Will the game have 4 player coop or only 2 player?

As far as I know, and according to store page description, 2 players coop mp.

This a little bit of a necropost but it was either that or make another thread.

Right now the game is 2 players max but are there any plans to allow for 3 or 4 player co-op ?
I can tell the game is designed for 2 players but i'd love to play this with the rest of my squad and not just one friend.

It's 2-player co-op only. It's fun. I think it would become a ridiculously easy cakewalk with 4 players unless they really ramped up the number and aggressiveness of enemies. I'm not certain this game engine could do that without slowdown issues and lag problems.

Two I think is fine for what this game is and the size of its maps and number of enemies.

Also, lots of us have had lag and disconnect issues (a patch this weekend may help with 'freezing' of MP games) with just 2 people; I can't imagine how it would go with 4.

Yeah, as i said i can tell that the game is designed for a maximum of two players atm, i was just wondering if the devs had any intentions of maybe making bigger levels that would allow for more players at once or something like that.

I'm not expecting a positive answer, but i could see it being fun so i wanted to ask.

At some point we gave it at thought and maybe it would work with special maps and scenarios.

But we have this written down to investigate for after full release.

Gotcha, thanks a lot for the response !

Four would be well chaotic ?

[Vulpe Nebuna]

It sure would be but it may work well in the context of scenarios that need players to be in multiple places at the same time (think base defense for example)

Good point.

Well how about having 4 players, but instead of playing a regular game, they are instead split into two teams and compete to finish a map.
They spawn on the same map but on different height levels and they can't interact with the other team (they can see each other though).
And they race through the map in order to see who finishes the map first.

[Vulpe Nebuna]

Whaaa?

[Pintea]

Two teams of 2 players compete on finishing the map first. Kinda like a speedrun :)

On the same map at the same time?

Yes. You can't interact, but you can see them. It's the same map, mirrored vertically and you can see the other team.

Sounds like Pintea gives the ideas , but Vulpe has to implement them :P
