The Bearded Ladies Consulting and the PlayStation Community have announced that their community designed platformer, Legend of Robot, has “gone gold” and will be released on the European PlayStation Network on July 13th for €2.99.
This initiative saw PS Community members design the game through a series of weekly challenges, each covering a different facet of the game.
Beginning with “Who is our hero?” and “Where does he go”, community members designed the look and actions of the characters, levels, bosses, name of the game and even the penultimate PSN sales pitch.
The result was Legend of Robot:
“You are cast as “H7″, an alien-robot drone originally created to enslave mankind. However, this particular specimen suffers from a bug in his anti-empathy circuits, driving him to escape his alien masters. Using twisted mechanics, such as throwing your own head to use as a platform or weapon, you must fight your way through the invading alien forces to gain your true freedom – and possibly save the Earth while you are at it.”
Check out the trailer below.

it’ll be interesting to see how the final game turns out, it looks like a fun little romp
and “gamocracy one” eh.
maybe that means we’ll see more projects like this.
if this one does well.
incidentally, i began wondering the other day, what’s happening with that huskygames project?
we haven’t had a dev diary for a couple of months now.

Really looks a lot of fun. It certainly seems better than the fan-project of cinema, Snakes on a Plane … I still don’t know how that got made.

Liking the old school stylings, definate hint of Decap Attack there. Let’s hope it’s hard too, like platformers used to be.

Love the way this game was made and the sense of community about it. Definitely going to support this with a few quid. Hopefully it goes well and we see something else like this :)
