I'm working on an arcade football game and would love some input from Sensible Soccer players

Hi all, I'm working on Super Fun: Football. It's an arcade football game where you control one footballer and play with your mates. The trailer gives you a look at the matches.

I'd love to hear from people here about the moments that made football games stick with them. Is there a particular goal, mistake or ridiculous bit of play from Sensible Soccer that you still remember? I'm looking for ideas for memorable match situations in my own game.

I'll also be looking for people to join playtests later on. If that sounds interesting, let me know in the comments. No test date yet, just seeing who might be up for it.

Two people, different games, one PC: I made FocusFix for separate keyboard/mouse and controller input

Sometimes you want to sit together and play different games, but only have one PC. Clicking into the keyboard/mouse game can leave the controller player's window ignoring input.

I made FocusFix for that setup: two independent game windows, separate inputs, with display/audio assignment and cursor containment. The moderators said this shared-PC use case fits here.

The basic setup is to launch both games in Windowed or Borderless mode, select their processes, assign each workspace its display, audio and input, then Apply & Lock. Ctrl+Shift+F12 releases the hooks and cursor lock.

I've tested two DualSense controllers and DualSense + keyboard/mouse, with Crimson Desert + The Sims and The Sims + KCD. Those are my tests, not a compatibility guarantee.

Before trying this, check whether your games already accept background controller input. If they do what you need on their own, you may not need a utility. Both games still share your CPU, GPU and RAM. FocusFix doesn't add co-op to a single-player game, provide game licenses or bypass launcher/account restrictions. Windows 10/11 x64 is required; game and anti-cheat compatibility varies.

It's my paid tool: $4.99 once, plus applicable tax, with offline use after activation. Details and actual app screenshots: https://focusfix.gumroad.com/l/focusfix?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=first_sale&utm_content=local_shared_pc

For people who share a PC: would you actually use two separate games side by side, or is playing the same game together the main reason you want local multiplayer?

Split Screen Open World game like Capitaland ?

Hi!

Is there a game similar to Capitaland?

I'm looking for open world third or first person split screen game to play with my girlfriend.

The thing with Capitaland is that there is a lot of stuff to do and there is actually an objective you have to complete, while in games like Totally Reliable Delivery Service you dont have any purpose.

Another thing is that my girlfriend doesnt have any problems playing the game because it's really easy to play. And there are lots of cool stuff to do like buying cars, apartments, businessess, going fishing, playing at the casino etc.

Looking for something similar. Give me you suggestions. Thanks! 😄

I'm the dev: we just released a new couch game, Who Said That? One of you writes the truth, everyone else bluffs in their style. 3-8 people, one TV, phones are the controllers

Hi again, I'm the dev of Buzzin, the couch games platform I posted here before. We just released a new game and I wanted to show it to this sub first.

New game: Who Said That?

It is a bluffing game about the people sitting in the room with you. Every round starts with a vote on your phones, for example "Who of us most often pretends to be working?". The person who gets picked writes the true answer about themselves. Everyone else writes a fake one that sounds just like them. All the answers land on the TV and you pick the one you think is real. You score for spotting the truth, and for every friend who falls for your lie. Up to five rounds, then titles for the best liars and one winner. It is for 3 to 8 players and it is the most fun with people who know each other well, or think they do.

The video is the trailer: the TV screen and a player's phone next to it.

The two other games on the platform:

- TV Show: a trivia game show for 2 to 8 players, the question is on the TV, you answer on your phone, and power-ups let you mess with whoever is winning.

- Werewolves: the classic for 5 to 16 players where the TV is the narrator, so nobody has to sit out and moderate.

How it runs: open playbuzzin.com on the TV (smart TV browser or a laptop on HDMI) and everyone joins from their phone with the room code.

We launched a bit over two months ago and it is going really well. A Halloween event is coming soon too.

I would love to hear what you think, good and bad. I like criticism, and I will happily take a few words of encouragement as well :)
