Originally an homage to the 8-bit cult classic "The Guardian Legend," The Indie Game Legend 3D has taken on influences from other famous titles to create a unique and nostalgic experience.
"This limited alpha is huge for our feedback process," said Jeff Lindsay, programmer and producer of the game. "The rest of our work is content, polish, and integrating feedback."
Progrium Games is developing The Indie Game Legend 3D in the open on Twitch, and invites anybody to watch and participate. More information can be found at http://tigl3d.com.
