    Split-screen rendering works! It still needs a lot of tweaking but I’m pretty excited. It’ll be the 1st good game since Liero to allow this.

    1. Haha, well I bet it won’t be realy the first one since Liero, it’s still a good news tho.


    2. Is there any soldat/worms like game with split-screen?


    3. Okay, now I noticed the shit I thought about wasn’t a splitscreen actually, just a co-op;)

      Keep it up!


    4. 1993 Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
      1996 Super Worms
      1998 Liero
      1999 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
      2001 Halo: Combat Evolved
      2003 Teeworlds
      2004 Armagetron Advanced
      2010? Capsized http://www.alientrap.org/capsized/

      But then again good is subjective.


    5. Also if we assume ‘first one of a kind’ (where you kill and destroy shit and the game does not look cartoonish) then it’s actually the first one.

      MM, you are the best 😀 finaly not only the console users have great split-screen games! :)
      Also the patch maker of soldat can create split-screen in the new release? :)


    7. @APerson: come on…

      1993 Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
      1996 Super Worms
      –> both are not AFTER liero

      1999 Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
      –> is not “soldat/worms like game” because of many many reasons (3d for example)

      2001 Halo: Combat Evolved
      –> same

      2003 Teeworlds
      –> has no splitscreen support afaik

      2004 Armagetron Advanced
      –> wtf? it’s tron-racing in 3d – no “soldat/worms like game”

      2010 Capsized
      –> maybe the only valid one, but it’s not released yet


    8. soldat can create split-screen in the new release?
      We could do some research. I don’t know if it’s possible.

      “Split-screen rendering works! It still needs a lot of tweaking but I’m pretty excited. It’ll be the 1st good game since Liero to allow this.”
      I’m sure “good” doesn’t mean “soldat/worms like” I was just pointing out that good is an opinion. And to say it’s the first good game in 12 years with split screen is something I dissagree with.

      The time line was to demonstrate a varied history of split screen with many different genres.

      As for Teeworlds, I just assumed it was split scren as my brother once asked me if I wanted to play him at teewars and we
      only had one pc.
