Playing with your friends - Patch Quest Co-op

A guide on how to start up co-op and what you can do with it.

Setting up Co-op

You can only play Patch Quest locally with 1 friend. You also need at least one controller to play together, since you'd otherwise need two keyboards. After you get this set up, it should be fairly easy to get going, once you open the game, you get the option to log in for two players, if you do this correctly, you should be able to connect both your keyboard and controller (or 2 controllers) and log into any save file with 2 people.

Co-op mechanics

In Patch Quest co-op, you share all your progress, so:

• All of your records are shared (Patch Pins, mounts and treasures);
  
• All of your perks;
  
• You both have the same home base;
  
• Pets;
  
• Charms;
  
• Power-ups;
  
• Pin Press charge.

When you go on an adventure, you're able to both have a different mount, ailments, ammo ,health pool and stamina meter for your mount if you're riding one. When someone reaches 0 health, you can revive them by giving half of your health to them.

Steam Remote Play

Liam, the developer, has also enabled Steam Remote Play, which you can also use to play with your friends if you can't play with your buddy physically next to you. To use Steam Remote Play, make the host start Patch Quest, then press Shift+Tab and right click on the friend you want to play with. There should be a steam remote play option. Now you can select your playstyle and you should be good to go!

I did steam remote play with my friend, but the lag problem of the invited one is so serious, is there any solution?

Would be cool to see more options for co-op in the future, of course not needed, but then again could be nice. I do really appreciate some attention given to us who like to tag a friend along in our gaming journey

@loganroberge developer stated that there'll be no online co-op. However, you can try out Steam Remote Play, keep in mind that this is NOT official and may cause bugs.
