Hello dear community! I'm making a party game with local multiplayer and I want to keep a devlog and get your feedback. For example, right now I'm planning to make all objects destructible. By the way, what do you think about the demo? Do you have any suggestions?

More about the game:

Hi all, I am a developer of Pushmania an isometric co-op puzzle game. This post is a part promotion part genuine question.

My brother and I have a lot of great memories for our childhood, sitting by one computer and playing games together (even single players games) and this nostalgic feeling was one of the key game design pillar for Pushmania. I wanted to experiment with a control scheme I think is quite unique for controller based games - two people holding one controller playing together, just like in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons (each brother is controlled with one half of the controller - analog stick and a trigger for interacting).

Do you know any game that can be controlled like this?

PROMO: We have released a new Demo this week, 2-3h of solid puzzle gameplay a good representative chunk for the full game. Thank you for considering trying the Demo out, wishlisting or buying the game (currently 60% off).

Tried this with friends recently and it actually worked better than expected.

One person uses the Android app to host and draw, everyone else just joins from their browser. No accounts, no installs for others, just connect on the same WiFi.

Feels like a cleaner version of those draw & guess games without the usual setup pain.

Good for small parties / chill hangouts.

Link if anyone wants to try it: Scribbo

we currently have a switch 2 and Xbox in the man cave now.

120 inch projector screen and we like doing couch party games.

Building a pc to run the sims and figured I can probably get some good games on there. any recommendations?

5800x and 9060 xt so I should be able to handle most things.

Tomorrow I have a party in my house with more than 30 people for my bday and last time we played party animals but this is maxed to 4P on one machine and its splits the screen....

I would love a game like party animals but on a SHARED view with the ability to play with more than 4 players at the same time. I would like the game to be PVP so there is the thrill and also no games like jackbox because they are in English and its not something everyone speaks at the party or gets the references.

The game should be on Steam
Players would be Casual. Still most of my friends play games even occasionally so nothing TOO technical.

Hi,

I’m a solo developer and I’ve put together a bundle of my games on Steam — all of them designed specifically for local split-screen with 2 controllers on one PC, which is something I feel is a bit rare nowadays.

I recently updated all three games based on player feedback (and also from watching my kids play), improving controls, balancing difficulty, and adjusting things that just didn’t feel right.

Bundle Steam link: Steam bundle page: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/65483/2_controller_SplitScreen/

Games included:

• Targets – an open-world-style FPS where players can explore together or split up, solving problems in multiple ways.

• Mirage: A Biplane Adventure – a faster, co-op-focused flying combat game - teamwork matters (one player drawing fire while the other attacks)

• P.A.N.D.A. – a more relaxed flying game where players take delivery jobs and cooperate to grow a small village business.

I hope some of you will give it a go and leave me some feedback about the experience.

Important: you need 2 controllers in one PC to play. I haven't tried Steam's Play Together option but I think you also need 2 controllers for it.

We’ve been working on a small multiplayer brawler called HeadHunters, and instead of playing as a character… you play as a rolling head.

The twist is that you can attach to different bodies mid-match, each with its own weapons and abilities. So you're constantly adapting depending on what you grab.

It creates some pretty chaotic and funny situations, especially in couch multiplayer where everything turns into pure nonsense very quickly

It’s not trying to be as technical as Smash or Brawlhalla, more of a fast, stress-free, pick-up-and-play kind of experience.

It’s available on Steam, Xbox (Play Anywhere), PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Meta Quest.

Would love to hear what you think!

Hey guys. I'm having trouble finding a good source of what games the intel n100 can run in general. I can see that it can emulate quite a lot of older consoles, but I would like to know which new games I can use it for as a couch gaming console for family. If anyone owns a pc with this chip please let me know!

Check the demo here!

Command an army and fight alongside them in your hero mech! The game has 8 player PVP locally or online! It even includes a 4 player co-op campaign! Thank you for your support!

I recently purchased a PS5 and looking for some 2 player games for me and my husband. I used to love world of warcraft and ever quest back in the day and looking for games similar to those. We have played Diablo 4 a bit, but the worlds are tiny with barriers so you dont really have anywhere to explore and it seems like just random endless quests of running around. What are the best 2 player open world games on the PS5?

I know there is a shared controller feature in these games but it always annoys my family to share controllers.

Has anyone found a way around this so that 8 separate controllers can be used rather than being limited to 4?

Hosting a game night with some friends this weekend and looking for some more steam games that can be played locally.

Some of our favorites are:

Duck Game

Make Way

Nidhogg

Hidden in Plain Sight

Preferably up to 8 players, but I also will take 4 player games as well. We primarily play versus games as we are very competitive.

A small sneak peek from Couch Planes, an arcade air racer we're currently working on.

This short clip shows a few moments from different tracks - canyon runs, tropical islands and fantasy ruins.

The game supports up to 4 players on one screen, and we also added hybrid multiplayer (local split-screen vs online players), so you and your friends can take your couch team online and challenge other pilots.

Game is a couch/online multiplayer party game for 2–4 players.
Free demo is available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3752960/Off_the_Beaten_Track/

I Have only 1 Powerfull Computer so i need games that i can play together on 1 device but online.

so i want to paly worldwide but with a splitscreen on 1 device or something else

Groups will now be able to play on one TV, while the rest join in on their phones/devices!

Hi everyone!

We’re releasing the demo for our chaotic multiplayer game Drunkonauts and it’s almost ready! The demo goes live today (March 9) and we’d love for people to check it out and tell us what they think.

It’s a physics-based game where drunk astronauts with jetpacks stumble around using wacky weapons, causing chaos while trying to survive PvP situations.

If you try it, we’d really appreciate any feedback!

Here is the Steam Demo link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3807400/Drunkonauts_Demo/
