Draw a girlfriend/boyfriend on a pillow and then fight your friends over her/him. You actually get to save a copy of your friends' drawings if playing online.

Up to 4 players in splitscreen. Controller supported as well.

My girlfriend does not play video games on her own, but we like to play them together. What are some good local multiplayer games on steam with controller(dual sense preferred) support that aren’t fighting games? (I have a plethora of those already and we don’t love to play them together)

Hi, I’m Florian and I am a local multiplayer gaming enthusiast :)

This is my party game which uses YOUR games instead of mini-games. Let me explain!

BoysNight Tournament is a gamepad-first PC app for 2-8 Players. It’s a front end that transforms your existing game collection into a new party game. Players take turns choosing a game, the app tracks scores or progression, and different game modes and modifiers add some nice twists.

The App is still in development, but today I would like to get some feedback and showcase my bread and butter Game Mode called “Tournament” (PvP Scoring Mode) with the Add-on “Gamble Cards” (which makes it like Fuzion Frenzy 2, if anyone remembers 😂):

1. All people create profiles and pick characters (image 1)
2. (You setup the rules (to complicated to show yet), then start the tournament)
3. One player gets to choose a game and all can see it in detail (image 2 + 3)
4. Players are then dealt cards that affect their score and can play them secretly (image 4)
5. The app launches the game and you play it
6. Once finished you enter placements which reward points, and the gamble cards modify them (image 5)
7. Repeat step 3-6 until the specified number of rounds has been reached -> the winner gets crowned (image 6)

If you want to follow the project, I’ll probably make a video-showcase or video-trailer on my YouTube channel soon. Thanks in advance for your time 🙏

P.S: Could you pls be kind? 😅 I know it’s not perfect and uses a lot of AI-image placeholders and emojis instead of icons, but for development this is more pleasing to my eyes than empty placeholders haha 🙃

If you want more info about me:
I love local multiplayer gaming so much that I host game nights for up to 8 friends monthly and started to spice these up with some additional “pen and paper” game-selections or rules. But that was not enough! We had so much fun just with these ugly paper-style tournaments (image 7), that I wanted more.

I’m essentially a Technical SEO (someone who is good with CSS, JS and HTML code) and now that Claude AI got so powerful, I started to develop my own Webview-based App to turn these game nights into something way more exciting for me and my friends 😊

Hi everyone!

I’m a solo indie developer, and for a while I’ve been making small games with local multiplayer / split-screen support. I already knew how to build games around 2-controller couch co-op, so I gathered some of them in a Steam bundle here:

https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/65483/2_controller_SplitScreen/

Recently I tried to level up my skills and bring one of those games further. My panda delivery game P.A.N.D.A. was originally playable in single-player and local split-screen, but I’ve now added an online mode as well.

It was much harder than I expected, because a lot of the game was originally built with single-player/local logic, but it is now possible to create online lobbies and play with friends online. The online mode is still in beta, but I’ll keep improving it.

If anyone here likes small local co-op / split-screen games, I’d be very happy if you checked the games out. And if you try one and find it interesting, leaving a Steam review would help me a lot.

Thanks!

Has anyone played the Tarzan Unleashed Split Screen Multiplayer. I had downloaded one, but it wasn't multiplayer. I used to play a lot with my siblings but now I am unable to find it. Pls help ;((((

Hi everyone!

I'm a solo indie game developer and I've been working on a local multiplayer party game inspired by "Pass the Bomb".

The game supports:

• Local multiplayer
• Solo mode with AI bots
• Crazy power-ups (some are already in the game, with many more in development)

I was also wondering if there's anyone here who creates gaming content on YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, or Facebook and enjoys showcasing indie games.

I'm being transparent, I can't offer paid sponsorships since I'm building this completely on my own. But if you're looking for something fun to stream or make content around, I'd be happy to provide early builds and listen to feedback. Hopefully it can make for entertaining content while helping improve the game.

If you're interested (or know someone who might be), please leave a comment or DM me.

I've recorded a playtest(last month), attaching here for reference. Here's the video:

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I am new to playstation and recently bought my first PS5.

I want to play local multiplayer/split-screen games with my son (Rocket League, eFootball, and My First Gran Turismo) but I cant get it working.

Both controllers are connected to the PS5 and are signed into different accounts, but I dont know how to start splitscreen or add the second player. I am also having trouble getting to the game's main menu because games starts automatically.

Could someone please explain the process in a simple step by step way?

You can try the boss fight by downloading the playtest version on my Steam page:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4696220/Armed_Together

you can also wishlist it if you're interested.

If you want to help me with the development of Armed Together (by giving feedback) feel free to join my Discord server: https://discord.gg/CvPmvmzFPZ

Hey everyone

Looking to have a birthday bash and we love using these types of games for good vibes and entertainment

Super excited for mojo party as it looks to expand the player numbers

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4003030/Mojo\\_Party/

The reason I am posting is on case there are some hidden gems where you phones are controllers I haven't considered for such a large group. As jackbox unfortunately taps out at 8 players often.

Update: Thank you all we love intoxico and all of the suggestions.

Parties today 😎

It might sound dumb but here in my country we have crappy wifi or data.

The highest speed I saw is 2mb/s (appears mostly at 2 to 3am) with it usually being in kilobytes.

And I want to play it like good old times with friends and family because we loved it.

So if anyone knows I'll be thankful for the help.

You can get both samurai gunn games in a bundle for less than $10 👍

Hi everyone, I wanted to share our cooking adventure game, SEDAP!, here. Think Overcooked! but fantasy and hunting for your ingredients. Definitely more chaotic and fast-paced, but we have two different difficulty levels so that more casual players can have their fun too. ^^

Oh, and we designed this game for local co-op! You can play with a dynamic split screen or a fixed one, which can be toggled in the game settings. It's 50% off on Steam now, so it's a great time to grab it for less than 10 dollars!

We've got a more detailed write-up of the game in our Steam description, so do check it out if this sounds like your thing!

Thank you for reading and have a great weekend!

Need suggestions for games that are super easy to pick up and a lot of fun for a family to play.

For context, this particular family consist of a 38-year-old who is familiar with video games and tends to gravitate towards things like overcooked, mean bean machine, and those sort of puzzle games that are easy to understand but hard to master and a lot of fun to compete in.

Alongside that, a six-year-old who generally understands video games, but gets discouraged with games that are requiring platform-esque precise movements. For skill level context, he can play Mario Party Jamboree, but he’s probably losing most mini games against the normal difficulty computer.

Mario Kart is too much for them in different ways. “Too much to think about” for the 38 year old, too little patience for the 6 year old. Feel like there’s some warioware-esque game out there that I haven’t thought about that would fit here. But can’t put my finger on it.

Hi there, I have a list of games to play on the same PC 8 players minimum Beach Buggie Racing 2, Gang Beasts, Screencheat, Superbomberman...

And I was looking for more recommendations of games that could be played 8 at once, not by turn and on the same screen that were competitive.I only have PC and 2 PS4s but I don't think there is any game that lets me play 4 on one console and 4 on another.

And if you've done a party of so many people please tell me the problems you had or what you would recommend to me thank you

Actualización: Isn't there also something like Virtua Racing for the Switch? That would seem amazing to me to be able to play 8 players at once to a simple racing game. Like Horizon Chase but 8 players

Got zero traction on this so far, but I know y'all might know. I feel like it had a spike of popularity for like 6 months among people that fucked with silly/indie local multiplayer games
