Online Co-Op?

[Siegbert]

Steam page says local co-op. So does that mean online co-op is off the table?

Greetings, traveler!

I appreciate you bringing us this topic to attention! As a prophet constantly seeking enlightenment on the part from Idaris the Beacon, I searched the Holy Scripts and this is what I found:
I searched the Holy Scripts and gathered some knowledge for you: Alaloth is a single-player RPG with a local co-op. Your co-op partner can join you as your in-game companion.

his was what I said: a humble servant of Idaris, the Beacon.
And although I spent the whole day meditating to get the answer for you is it possible for a mortal to really understand the twisted divine plans?

[Siegbert]

Thanks, I always appreciate RP answers :D

But how exactly does it work?

Can I play the whole game in co-op?
Will my co-op partner level up and acquire skills?

Yea, I really need some better clarification on this too. Can a friend join me on line and not needing to be in the same pc with me? If not, why not? Why are you guys not adding online Coop?? Inquiring minds need to know!

But how the companions work?

Do they level up? Can we customize them when the second player is controlling them?

Can we have a companion right from the start of the game?

I feel your pain, it’s almost like this developer is afraid to give accurate details as if they are ashamed of their own game.

What I really want to hear from this dev is that no your friends can’t join you over the internet. Local Coop. Or, yes they can join you over the internet. This is the answer I’m looking for, not some shadiness or them being very vague in their reponses.

Hmm.. so in the single player when you get a companion your coop bud can join and play as that companion. All I know is that game looks good and online coop has my vote, but we need more info!!

I remember having "local co-op" while playing Worms 3D: we basically just shared worms in player squad, going hotseat mode. If that's the case (which sounds to me like it is) then it should be pointed out imo

Exactly my thoughts =/ and I've been following this game for a long time now.

But from what they've said, online co-op won't be featured at launch, so you can only play co-op in the same console/PC, unless you use that steam feature that I think is called steam remote, I guess

What is not super clear in "Single Player + Local Coop & Multiplayer"? :D

Steam Remote Play is something allowed by Steam itself and has nothing to do with the "original" dev plan :)

Really sucks there is no online-coop, like why not tho? Here I thought I finally found a game to be excited by. It's 2020 and I feel like online-coop > local is the norm.
