Or is that not a thing? I don’t recall seeing much in the way of party games in a self hosted environment.
Card games and board games with people. New Year’s isn’t really the time or place for this kind of thing.
Some people don’t have the luxury of being in the same place as the people they’re celebrating with. Jackbox games is a popular remote party game, but I am curious if there exists a similar, open, self hosted alternative.
I just made wordgame.party to help with charades and pictionary games. Looking for feedback!
I’ve been fighting off the urge to make games like these. Maybe one day if I ever get more free time back.
The wife and I has returned to Valheim on a selfhosted dedicated server during the holidays, not sure if an adventuring party is the party you were thinking about. I’ve been /dancing on the ship as she steers it over the ocean though.
Most of the “party” games I have require no self hosting, it’s just split/shared screen co-op on the TV, Gang Beasts is a favourite and depending on what friends are over Genital Jousting can also be booted up for some laughs.
My wife and I have also returned to Valheim during the holidays 😂
We didn’t get far on our first playthrough, we barely got past the swamp, but this time we’re about to get to the mistlands!
Nice!
We always get to mountain, then run out of steam before restarting a few months later.
Have fun!We’ve done our first crypt this playthrough then we got busy building rest stops and roads, farming and all that. Good job getting to the mistlands!
I’d love that too.
Some games like gartic phone / draw.io, codeword, balderdash, jackbox-alike type games, that I could host on my own server to avoid tracking/ads, and play with my family over holidays.Jackbox 11 steam deck. Maybe does not qualify.
I don’t think that is self hosting because I think that the game actually runs on their servers and your deck is just a client. But maybe it actually runs on the deck and the server is just for connecting the clients? 🤔
Same same but different. I got all the jackboxes through uhh ways and means and I play it on my HTPC on the TV.
I’m going to ‘selfhost’ nekid party games with my lady friend…does that count? 😈 I am incapable of playing most games tho. Sad that. There are so many out that look so very cool. I’ll have to enjoy them vicariously.
