Hello! I'm an artist, writer, and game developer. I work for @7thBeatGames on "A Dance of Fire and Ice" and "Rhythm Doctor."
--
I run @IndieGamesofCohost where I share screenshots and spotlights of indie games. I also interview devs here on Cohost.
the Warthog in Halo.
Normally, I'm not big on driving. I'm not big on shooting.
But combining them together with a friend where one drives around and the other tries to make the best of it? Or escorting someone in Capture the Flag?
So much fun and slapstick. Shocked that more indie games havent made this their whole premise!
This is old news but the thing I remember was that in 2014 after towerfall had come out everywhere every single platform holder was like "never speak to me about local multiplayer ever again" wrt exclusivity negotiations, I get the impression a lot of people pivoted hard into that genre around that time and absolutely train wrecked in terms of sales
Hard to say if that's still the case this many years later but I think it definitely bred a lot of long-term caution among purse-holders
Yeah that makes sense, and i've definitely seen a trend of prioritizing online multi over local, even in indie. I hope people dont give up though, because stuff like Overcooked and Cook Serve Delicious are fantastic with a friend.
i wanna do this. i already put too much time into programming co'op netcode just for fun.
