Working on a web-based local multiplayer party game platform called GamingCouch.com. The idea is simple: I love local multiplayer games and game nights but felt that there was alwa…

As a fellow Finn (and a lawyer), super interesting work Elias! And thank you for reporting the inconsistencies you found to Finlex

Awesome to hear! Bunch of new things in plans for the near future, including 3rd party dev tools so that other devs can also make new games for the platform. Hopefully a lot more g…

Very cool! Opened a PR to add my local multiplayer game platform, Gaming Couch ( https://gamingcouch.com ), to the list of games :) Just recently posted a ShowHN post about it whic…

Hey! Ping me on Discord and I'll add you to the dev-list so you'll know when the SDK is dropping :)

Thanks, that sounds like an interesting idea as well, need to give it some thought

Hey! Thanks for the detailed feedback, really appreciate it. I agree with you that making games that appease everybody will not work in the long run. Did your friends give any exam…

I actually looked at the dev competition they had! The problem was that Discord activities don't support the use of WebRTC as they require all network calls to go through their pro…

Nice, great to hear! I'm actually surprised how smooth everything has been going thus far :D

Thanks! :)

No plans yet but the 3rd party game development SDK will be made publicly available so that anyone can start making their own games for the platform!

Ah ok, now I understand. I don't have a steam deck at hand but based on a quick google search I think it should be possible. The key is whether you are able to connect the steamdec…

Are you opening the website via your smart tv's browser? If so, it could mean that the TV is not able to handle the live connections. I've noticed some Samsung Tv's exhibiting this…

I think it could be possible to make it work like that but I'm not familiar with Steamdeck itself so I can't say for sure. Need to look into it. Just so I understood you correctly,…

Appreciate it, thanks!

Haha that's also very true. The games were ok and fun but really I think what made Nintendo games special was the 'magic' of it all. In a similar sense as their Mario Kart Live: Ho…

Thanks! I initially had the idea also 10+ years ago but only got around to do it now.. I think with the web standards having been improved and individual phone performance being mu…

If you mean like utilizing gyroscope and other sensor of the phone to control the game characters (like in Wii tennis, bowling and so on), I've thought about it but I don't think i…

Thanks! I agree that party games really need to easy enough to just pick up and play. It's no fun spending 1-2 hours first just learning about the game mechanics. I've gotten quite…
