    Introducing a new Steam feature that lets you play your couch co-op games with friends over the internet, together.

    Since October 21st, 2019, you can join Steam’s Beta of their new feature Remote Play Together. This feature allows you to invite your Steam Friends to play local co-op, local multiplayer, and shared/split screen games online! This means two things: that you don’t need friends to be physically present in your home, and that every player will have access to their own computer screen and mouse/keyboard/controllers!

    This feature gets even better because only the host of Steam’s Remote Play Together needs a copy of the game! No more having to buy your friends the same Steam game just to be able to play together! Furthermore, don’t worry if you have a Mac, Linux or PC because this streaming service is cross-platform.

    The process for setting up this feature is very simple with the details laid out here. Moreover, Valve has specifically pointed out that players will have access to the host’s controller inputs, voice chat volume and game screen but not the host’s desktop. To join the Beta now you can go here.

    Valve is currently working on improving network stability, compatibility across a variety of hardware, and adding more games to their growing list of supported titles. You can check out the thousands of games here. If you want to know if a specific game is supported, look for this new tag above!

    To help get you started, I recommend the following wholesome, potato-approved games:

    I’m now a Steam Curator so you can find all of my recommended Steam games here! Let’s be Steam Friends! Also, if you have any recommendations, I’d like to hear them!

    Heave Ho, developed by Le Cartel Studio, is a silly multiplayer adventure about swinging and dangling with your friends to reach the other side of the level without falling! The game is available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop and Steam here. Furthermore, there’s even a special promotion on Steam for 10% off today until September 6th, 2019! You can also try it out right now if you’re at PAX West this weekend.

    We love when characters from other indie games cross-over into another, like in Riverbond, so we’ve listed all of the tweets the developers have posted below on other games by publisher Devolver Digital. These hilarious representations of some of our favorite characters come from the following games: My Friend Pedro, Enter the Gungeon, Gris, The Messenger, Katana ZERO, Gato Roboto, Absolver, Hotline Miami, and Pikuniku.

    Besides these unique characters, you can customize your own with a large variety of stylish accessories! Moreover, you can change the following features of your little weird blobs with arms: costume, skin color, hair, glasses, face, arms, and voice.

    Gamescom is the world’s largest event for tech and video games held in Cologne, Germany. Unlike E3, there typically aren’t that many press announcements with release dates but rather you’re given the opportunity to play game demos and possibly get the chance to speak with the developers. This year, Gamescom opens its doors to trade visitors on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, and to members of the public on Wednesday, August 21, 2019. Events and the show floor will be scheduled until Saturday, August 24th, 2019.

    Opening Night Live

    Anyone who is anyone in the industry has confirmed that they will be there including: Xbox, Nintendo, Square Enix, Google Stadia, Epic Games and many more. Geoff Keighley, host and producer of ‘The Game Awards’, will be producing and live streaming Opening Night Live. Check out his Twitter account below for the game publishers that are making announcements. Opening Night Live will also include Hideo Kojima, as confirmed by the man himself, to premiere an exclusive new look of his game Death Stranding. Opening Night Live will be streaming on all major streaming services when it begins on Monday, August 19th at 11 AM PT/2 PM PT/8 PM CEST. With this new addition of a pre-show, we here at myPotatoGames are looking forward to some amazing new reveals!

    The Indie Village and Indie Arena Booth

    Another new addition to Gamescom 2019 is that developers of indie games will now have considerably more space in the entertainment area. Indie Village (in hall 10.2) will be showcasing more than 140 independent developers. The central element of Indie Village is the Indie Arena Booth, which has been taking applications from indie developers for a few years now and supplying them with booths. More than 100 games can be seen in the Indie Arena Booth alone. In addition, you can look forward to a stage program coordinated especially for indie fans, the MIX.

    As you know, we here at myPotatoGames are huge fans of wholesome indie games so we’ve written a list below, including their links to our previous articles for more information. You can also watch the trailer by Indie Arena Booth for the confirmed indie games for Gamescom 2019.

    Other games like Cat Quest II by The Gentlebros Games are teasing that the announcement for their release date is coming soon and that they are “saving it for a special event.” We can only hope that they are talking about Gamescom 2019 as that is less than 2 weeks away! If you know of any other indie games or you yourself are an indie developer, please feel free to contact us to be added to our Gamescom 2019 list if you are attending! You can also click here to learn more about the event, the dates, the tickets and more.

    Heave Ho is a cooperative multiplayer adventure game created by indie developers Le Cartel Studio and published by Devolver Digital. You won’t have to wait long to play this silly game as it will release on Steam and the Nintendo Switch eShop this summer! Moreover, you’ll need to hold on for dear life and help each other to reach hard-to-get-to places. All you need to do is swing without falling or getting impaled by spikes and attempt to do it in record time if you so choose!

    About Heave Ho

    Heave Ho tasks up to four players with a simple goal – don’t fall to your death! Players will use their own two hands and the outstretched grip of their friends to grapple across each level on their way to victory. Grab one another’s hands, climb across dangling bodies, and swing your pals to safety in a wobbly, dangly mass of limbs. Customize your character with all manner of stylish accessories and zany accouterment in a vain attempt to remember who you are and which of your hands is the only thing between you and the plummet of doom.

    Heave Ho is a physics-based game where you’ll have to use the left joystick to move your arms and use the triggers to clench fists and grab the platforms! There’s nothing too complicated about the concept but the execution might be another story.

    Customize your strange-looking characters!

    Reveal Trailer for Heave Ho

    For another multiplayer game published by Devolver Digital, check out our article on Fall Guys for a hilariously fun competition! If you like the idea of working together with friends and needing great communication skills, see Fling to the Finish. Fling to the Finish has just successfully completed its Kickstarter campaign along with some stretch goals!
