How to test with multiple (8+ clients)

Options
Hello Everyone,

I'm making a multiplayer game that has a lot of players in a room at a time. Currently aiming for somewhere between 16-24.

Obviously testing for 8+ players at a time is quite difficult. Is there an easier way to test multiple clients at once on one or two stations? I don't need to be able to track input for all of these client instances but even just having them all artificially join a game on one station would be a life saver.

Thanks for the help!

    Multiple instances of the game on one pc is not possible?
    That's how i usually test stuff. Even though it can be annoying with 8+ open game windows.

    Same here, I just spawn 16 instances of the game and set them in bot mode fighting against each other.
  • Okay thanks guys! The bot mode is a good idea!
