Hi everyone,
I’m planning to make a local party game in Construct 3 and I’d really like it to support 8 players playing at the same time on PC, each using an Xbox 360 controller.
The game wouldn’t be published on Steam — it would be run directly on my PC. My friends and I normally play some local 8-player party games on PC using Xbox 360 controllers without issues, so I’d love to know if something similar is realistically possible with Construct 3.
A couple of years ago I made a small prototype in Construct 3, but it only detected 4 controllers at the same time. Before I invest serious time into this project, I’d like to understand if that limitation is inherent or if there are ways around it now.
So my questions are:
Can Construct 3 reliably handle 8 simultaneous controllers on PC today?
More specifically, is it possible to use 8 Xbox 360 pads at the same time?
Are there any known limitations, workarounds, or important things I should consider before committing to this?
Thanks a lot! I really want to build this party game, but I’d like to be sure Construct 3 is the right tool for this goal 😊
