Twitch Plays Game Designer: Tiny Brains developer invites streaming community to work on next game

It often takes hundreds of people to make a triple-A game. Indie studios tend to only have a handful of developers. Spearhead Games, meanwhile, has a couple thousand designers working on its latest project.

That company is currently working on a game known as Project Cyber. It is a physics-based competitive multiplayer title that the studio is creating with input from the online community at gameplay livestreaming site Twitch. Spearhead is giving away thousands of copies of its game to those who request access, and the studio plans to listen to and work in the feedback and ideas it gets from those players. This is similar to Steam’s Early Access portal, which enables developers to sell unfinished games that the community helps to test.
