Lenovo is banding together with a slew of developers to create a game that combines heroes, tower defense strategies and science fiction. Along with game developers, fans also can help design the game. Lenovo will host a one-hour streaming session at Insomnia56 to get people engaged in the idea.
The project, called Game State, is between Lenovo and Dark Rift Entertainment. Nerdist, Geek and Sundry, Inside Gaming, Machinima, Felica Day, Funhaus and Rooster Teeth.
There will be four development levels over the course of four months. The first level in November consists of game developers working on story ideas, game title and missions. Scopes and tools will be worked on during the second level in December. For level three, the developers will take care of music, colors, sound effects, skins and demos. The developers will show off game previews and demonstrations for the final stage in February.
Insomnia56 takes place December 11-14, 2015, in Birmingham, England.
