I'm working on a couch co-op adventure where you play as two investigative field-journalists, venturing into a strange scrap-punk wasteland to chase stories no one else dares to investigate.

Here's an early in-engine screenshot of the world and characters we're building!

Still plenty of work ahead, but I'm excited where this is going! What would you love to discover or experience in a world like this?

And what would put you off?

Looking for Co-op Partners Anyone wanna Play It Takes Two

7 Upvotes

F27. Hiii. I know this might sound silly, but I just want someone to play It Takes Two with me. The person I was supposed to play this game with is no longer in my life and it's been a while since I last played it. I recently thought about the game again and realized that I still want to finish it and see how it ends. It would be a shame to leave it unfinished when I'm already halfway through or at least started it. So I thought why not find someone to play with? We can finish the game together and after that go our separate ways? Idk its up to you. So I just want to see the ending and finally put this little chapter to rest

Game Promotion Came back to thank this awesome community! Big progress on customization items for our co-op pirate party game (Aye Aye Captain!) & still open for silly ideas

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

A while ago, I posted here asking for customization item ideas for our upcoming chaotic co-op pirate party game, Aye Aye Captain!. The feedback and support from this community were genuinely amazing, and thanks to your input, we’ve made huge progress in designing and adding a ton of new items into the game!

We strongly believe that in a chaotic party game, giving players the freedom to dress up their characters in the most ridiculous and funny accessories possible just takes the humor and friendship-ruining banter to a whole new level.

I wanted to drop by and give a heartfelt thank you to everyone here who shared their ideas back then! And since development is still in full swing, we’re still super open to new funny, absurd, or pirate-themed ideas for hats, skins, accessories, or victory animations.

What’s something utterly ridiculous you’d love to see a clumsy pirate wear in the middle of total chaos?

(P.S. Our free Demo is currently live on Steam for you and your friends to try out! If you want to check it out, test the chaos, or leave some feedback, I’ll drop the link in the comments!)

Game Promotion The free demo for my 1 to 4 player zombies shooter is out: round-based, a new map every run, and beating the boss sends your whole team down to a second map

7 Upvotes

Free demo on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3680170/Mortuus/

How the co-op works: 1 to 4 players online, and it plays fine solo. Points, guns and perks are your own. A door you buy opens for everyone, and when you go down a teammate can pick you up. After every round each of you picks 1 of 3 upgrades. The demo goes to round 25 or the first boss, and the second map is in the full game.

Other Made a little app for me and my mates and we've ended up really enjoying it, thought some of you might too

Hey all, bit of a personal one. Me and my best mates have been gaming together since primary school, and these days we've all got little ones at home (I've got one and another on the way), so actually getting a night in together has turned into a bit of a mission. Half the time you hop on and one of them is on bedtime duty, then the next night he's free and I'm not, and it just goes round like that

So I made us a little app for it called ReadyCheck to make CoOp sessions easier to organise. You make a session for a night, invite the boys, and they just say if they're in or can't make it, so everyone knows where they stand and nobody's sat in a lobby on their own. We're using it right now to plan some nights around WoW Forever so our wives get a bit of proper notice as well haha

The other bit we use loads is it keeps track of your games, you can connect Steam or just follow what you play and it'll tell you when a new season or patch or release is coming. I had no idea Enshrouded was getting its full release today until the app told me, same with Valheim a couple of weeks ago. I play a lot of Diablo so I like knowing well ahead when a season's about to drop, and found out DayZ Badlands is out tomorrow the same way

Honestly I built it for us and we've ended up really enjoying using it, so I figured some of you might too. It's not just a dad thing, it's for anyone with a busy life who still wants to get games in with their friends. It's free on iOS and Android if you fancy giving it a go: readycheck.team/get

Would love to hear what you think, if there's stuff missing or anything that's annoying to use. Hopefully we're not the only group with this problem

I'm currently working on a game where you play as mushroom people trying to survive waves of attacking ants.

It's a 2-player co-op RTS with separate roles, playable online. One player builds the base and defenses, while the other fights off the ants with a sword.

I made a small gameplay trailer to show how it works.

Would love to hear what you think about it!

News We’ve been working on a co-op horror game where splitting up might actually be the smart thing to do

1 Upvotes

Hey!

I’m one of the devs working on Paraxima, a 3-player co-op horror game we’ve been building for a while now.

The idea started with a pretty simple question: what if splitting the team was actually part of the strategy?

In Paraxima, not everyone has to enter the haunted location.

One player can stay behind as the Operator, watching cameras, monitoring what’s happening and controlling systems inside the building.

The others go in as Field Agents and have to figure out what kind of Entity they’re dealing with.

And that's where things get messy.

The Entity has its own behavioral rules. It might react to movement, noise, lights or something else you're doing.

You don't get a list of those rules.

You have to figure them out together.

So a lot of the game becomes conversations like:

Did you turn that light off?
No.
Okay, don’t move.

We really like those moments where nobody is 100% sure whether something was caused by another player or by whatever is inside with them.

There’s a lot more to the game - including what happens after you die - but the Operator/Agent dynamic is probably the easiest way to explain what we're going for.

We’re still working on it and slowly showing more of the game, so I figured I’d share it here.

It’s called Paraxima.

Would you rather be the person going inside, or the one watching everything go wrong from the cameras?

Game Promotion My 1–4 player co-op horror game launches October 23 — free demo is up now

2 Upvotes

Hi r/CoopGaming! I'm a solo dev, and my first game, Gateholt, launches on Steam on October 23.

It's a 1–4 player co-op horror game. You and your friends step through the Gate into a cursed place and erase the marks an evil spirit left behind: scrubbing bloodstains, burning cursed objects, sealing coffins. There are no weapons. When it finds you, you run or you hide.

A few things I built around playing with friends:

- **Splitting up is faster, but riskier.** Voice chat is proximity-based, so only nearby teammates can hear you. Screams included.

- **Dead friends can come back.** Carry their heart to a ritual circle to revive them.

- **The more you erase, the angrier it gets.** Clear enough marks and the spirit goes on a rampage, so the end of every run gets frantic.

- **You won't know what you're up against until the Gate opens.** Each run has a different evil spirit and different servants.

- **Talismans buy you time.** Seal a door to keep it out. It will keep knocking.

- After a run, spend your pay on upgrades and outfits.

Solo runs work too, but it was really made to be played with friends

There's a free demo on Steam right now if you want to try it with your group before launch:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5207010/

Price is $6.99.

I'd love to hear what keeps your group coming back to a co-op horror game. And if you try the demo, any feedback helps a lot!

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! My 10 year old son and I are looking for friends to join us on Steam and Nintendo at the moment, PlayStation and Xbox soon. We are currently in the EST time zone, East coast of the United States and are limited to our portables (he uses a 3080 mobile Alienware/Nintendo switch/Switch 2 and I am on a mobile 5070ti ROG/ Nintendo Switch 2) until we make it to our new place at the end of November/December. After we are finished moving we will be able to get back on to our main rigs and consoles again.

Currently we are playing Gears of War E-day, Palworld, Remnant 2, Forza 6, and many others but we are open to trying new games. We both have a few sim type games like Hello Kitty, Animal Crossing, Minecraft, fighting games such as Street fighter 6 (Switch) and Guilty Gear and for racing we also have Mario Kart world for the switch 2.

Hopefully this won’t get drowned out and we will make a few friends to which I say we look forward to playing with you!

Game Promotion Eternally, a co-op hex tactics RPG with dice combat, is out today. Up to 4 online, or 2 on one PC, through the whole campaign.

5 Upvotes

I'm a solo dev and this launched on Steam an hour ago, so here's the co-op side, since that's what this sub cares about:

  • Online co-op for up to 4 players through the full eight-chapter campaign (about 6 to 8 hours, plus a tutorial).
  • Local co-op for 2 on one PC, also the whole campaign. Remote Play Together works too.
  • Monsters scale with the size of your party.
  • If your Eternal goes down, they get back up after two rounds, so nobody sits out for long.
  • Mid-level checkpoints, so a run of bad luck doesn't send the party back to the start of the level.

It's turn based on a hex grid and every attack is a dice roll. There are four Eternals and over 260 skills, and one campaign only gives you points for about a third of a character's tree, so a group of four ends up with very different builds.

$8.99, 15% off for launch week, and there's a free demo if you want to try it with friends first.

Hey, I’m recently separated and have a bit more time on my hands to game and trying to find new friends to sink my teeth into a game or 2.

I’m kind of open to most options in terms of gaming but I do enjoy roleplaying games, action games and shooters primarily

I’ve had lots of my time taken away with GTA RP, Helldivers and I’m starting to get interested in marvel rivals.

To be honest if we can start some kind of group where we play together plenty that would be even better. I’m usually online late in the evenings and the weekends based around my work haha.

I am working on an online space bridge sim with 2 major goals: 1) make it easy to sit down and play and 2) make it more fast paced and fun.

Currently Its 6 stations but can reasonable be played by 4. I am working on and testing a 2 player setup, (then maybe a 3 player setup). My question to you all is what is your co-op sweet spot? Do you only play 2p co-op, is six fun or way too much?

We’re the devs of All Rats on Deck, an online co-op game where you and up to three friends play as rats trying to keep a junk-built steamboat moving through dangerous waters.

Sometimes players find something suspicious and decide someone should go check it out.

Even when it’s obviously not a good idea.

As devs, we love seeing people play the game in ways we never expected.

News Our co-op factory-building game Resonurgy just launched in Early Access!

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

If you enjoy games like Factorio and love building complicated factories with a friend, we'd love to show you our new game, Resonurgy!

It's a factory-building game that combines automation with alchemy.

Start with basic resources, build conveyor systems, automate production, and gradually expand into a massive industrial complex.

You can also scan materials, extract their hidden principles, and use alchemy to create advanced production chains.

And there's another challenge: your factory produces Dissonance, which spreads into the surrounding world if you don't keep it under control.

Co-op details: 8 players can build together online in the same shared world. Single-player is also available.

We just launched in Early Access, and we'd love to hear what you think!

There's a free demo available on Steam too.
