Mini-Demo: Local + Online Multiplayer Combined

Added 2025-02-14 21:41:24 +0000 UTC

I wanted to share a quick tech and design demo representing a neat bit of technical support we're able to do: 4 player multiplayer with two local players playing alongside two other "remote" local players. It's not very flashy to look at yet, but you can imagine sitting alongside someone you're playing with while also playing together with two other people who are sitting alongside each other.

We don't know what the full scope of this kind of support will be, from a design perspective, but seeing the technical aspect in action is really cool, even though there is almost no way I can reasonably play this on a single computer.

We'll have a lot more of these little demos as we approach having more and more working designs like this, but some stuff just can't wait for our bigger milestone updates.
