Congo - Released on Early Access

[JackBromhead]

Hey guys,

Managed to get Congo out and released on Steam Early Access yesterday and wanted to share it with you guys!

“Stuck deep in the Congo jungle, you and your teammates are hunted by packs of demons lurking in the darkest areas. Light is your friend in this hostile environment. Scavenge equipment and utilize good teamwork to secure your route of escape in this top-down co-op horror game.”

It’s taken us about 5 months from picking up UE4 to getting to this stage, with 3 developers - two programmers and one artist! It’s been a crazy good experience though and the majority of it is blueprinted. Would love to hear your thoughts on it / any questions!

Currently rocking on Steam for $9.99 / £6.99! If you’re interested in giving it a go, you can pick it up here:

But anyway, here’s the pictures and videos!:

I think putting some fog/mist would make it much more realistic.

Good work!

Can i ask how did you get the co-op too work i’m working on a small project at the moment and would love to know how to do it in particular how to get two separate characters in.

@JRobertson93 : Don’t you just set the index on the getPlayerController object … I am sure I read that somewhere.

Get Player Controller - Returns the player controller at the specified player index.

Multiplayer (Local) Player Indexing
How does the player index on multiplayer?

Was something I was going to start working on this coming weekend … but I think this is the way you would do it. Don’t quote me on this though. 8-}
