Mad Machines is launching its robotic Rocket League-like ‘First on Discord’

The Discord Store is still in a limited soft launch in Canada, but developer Hero Blocks is already planning to bring its upcoming robotic-sports sim Mad Machines to that service as part of its First On Discord program. As Discord expands its service from communications to also selling games, it announced that it will help fund indie releases that will appear first on Discord before moving on to other platforms after about 60 days. And now Hero Blocks is one of the first developers to announce that it has taken that offer.

The Discord Store still doesn’t have a launch data for the rest of the world, and neither does Mad Machines. But Hero Blocks plans to the game off to attendees at the PAX West fan event at the end of this month. The developer will then start selling the game later this year.
