Spearhead Games announces new project through live stream

Spearhead Games announced its new game Project Cybar (a working title) Thursday during its weekly live steam. The game is a physics-based 3 vs. 3 soccer game that will borrow elements from popular e-sports. Each character will have their own unique power while also sharing the ability to force push and magnetize the ball to keep it close while moving.

Spearhead plans on streaming a lot of the game’s development, utilizing the studio’s Twitch channel to stream around eight hours of development a day while also play testing builds with the community every weekday at 7 p.m. Est. The developers are looking toward the community to help shape the game.

“Everything will be open,”  said Simon Darveau, co-founder of Spearhead Games earlier this week in a press release.  “Everything will be tested. Everything will be up for comment.” Darveau furthered this commitment during the live stream by making sure players knew that they would be taking ideas for anything, from character abilities and art to game system overhauls.  Spearhead will be taking feedback during live streams and at its website, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Interested players can test the work in progress by signing up here for a Steam code for the game.

The studio’s previous game, Tiny Brains was a co-op puzzler that also had physics elements. After the release of Tiny Brains, the studio started a weekly live stream challenge in which it would develop a new level for the game in under an hour.
