Repeated intro

Hey Tetherheads! We've got some cool news. A lot of people have requested online multiplayer in Match Point. We're a two-man team with day jobs, so network code was a bit beyond the original scope of what we could accomplish for this title. But we're keeping that priority in mind for our next game! In the meantime, we've got a really cool solution for Match Point. It's Parsec.

Parsec is kind of like a Steam Link over the Internet, or your own personal Playstation Now. You set up the client and invite friends to join local multiplayer games. Your screen is streamed to them, and their controller inputs are streamed back to you. It's super seamless and hella baller. We were blown away by its quality.

How to play Match Point online with Parsec

  • Visit http://parsecgaming.com and download their client.

  • Open it and sign up for an account. Get your friends to too!

  • Click "Add A Computer" to set your own computer up for streaming. You can control which programs people can see and join.

  • Or, join a friend's computer by adding their Parsec username, and request to Co-Play.

  • When you start the game, friends can drop in like they're right there!

Visit the Match Point Parsec Community to join or start a public "Party" and play with anyone! You may also be able to grab some opponents in the JCM Discord.
