Who intends to play The Double Fine Adventure as a hotseat multiplayer game?

2012-03-31T03:41:37+0000

Now, before I get shouted at, here's what I mean: The fondest memories I have of playing the adventure games of yore are from the early to late nineties when I played them together with my cousin. We would spend afternoons playing games like Fate of Atlantis, or The Dig, or Grim Fandango, taking turns controlling the protagonist. If we got stuck, we'd discuss possible solutions or stuff we might've missed ("Maybe that's something you can click on?" "Try the lamp oil!" "Didn't that guy from two screens back tell us about that fish?"), and if a puzzle had us stumped for longer, we'd walk away for a while only to come rushing back with an ingenious idea how to solve the problem (which in many cases wasn't the solution). I remember spending ages searching for a certain metallic plate in The Dig or figuring out that door puzzle in Grim Fandango, and you know what? When we finally overcame the Wall of Stuckitude, the time spent banging our heads against it never felt wasted, as we had fun just coming up with increasingly weird solutions. Since then we haven't really played adventures together any more, but once the Double Fine Adventure gets released I fully intend on dragging my cousin in front of a computer so we can both experience the game's highs and lows, like we used to in the Good Old Days. What about you, dear fellow backers? Are you planning on playing the Double Fine Adventure together with somebody else as well? Maybe even somebody you used to play the old adventure games with but haven't done so in a long while? Do you have any funny/interesting stories to share about your experiences of playing adventures non-solo? Edit: To clarify, I'm not asking for DF to add some multiplayer functionality to the game, but I'm wondering if other players like/liked to play an adventure as a hotseat multiplayer experience. Edit 2: changed thread title
