The original Resident Evil, decades later, continues to attract ordinary players, as well as modders who offer various ways to improve and transform the game. Recently, one enthusiast talked about a mod that aims to add a full-fledged cooperative game mode to the classic survival horror.
Modder Aydan addressed players and published an example of gameplay:
Long time no see. Well, with the recent release of Resident Evil Decomp, I decided to play around with it a bit... I'm currently working on adding a VERY simple online co-op as a "proof of concept." So far, clients [players] connect to each other and exchange packets...
Initially, Aydan only showed a screenshot, but soon published a short video demonstrating the co-op in Resident Evil — it really works successfully. One player acts as the host, and the other is a client connecting to the system. They can move independently, meaning nothing prevents them from being in two different rooms.
You can view an example of co-op mode tests at the following link.
A full implementation of the cooperative mode for Resident Evil is still far off — this is just an early version of the concept.
