Gaming Couch

by @ChaosOp

Working on Gaming Couch, a web-based local multiplayer party game platform. It's like a lovechild of Jackbox Games and Mario Party: https://gamingcouch.com. More specifically I'm currently working on the 3rd party development tools so in the future anyone can make their game dev dreams a reality and make a simple and fun multiplayer party game for the Gaming Couch platform, ideally in only one weekend! If you're a game dev or aspiring to be one and want to develop and ship your own party game, check out https://gamingcouch.com/developers The TL;DR of Gaming Couch: - Currently in free Early Access with 19 competitive mini-games. - Players use their mobile phones as controllers (you can use game pads as well!) - Everything is completely web-based, no downloads or installs are necessary to play - All games support up to 8 players at a time and are action based, with quick ~one minute rounds to keep a good pace. This means there are no language based trivia or asynchronous games!
