Help Design a PlayStation Game From Scratch

As gamers, we very often think we have great ideas for videogames. Without any real knowledge of how to actually make one, those ideas typically end up shared on a message board at best or going to waste at worst. Sony is now giving creative gamers the opportunity to help devise a new game from scratch -- no game development know-how needed.

The game is to be actually developed at The Bearded Ladies Consulting, a Sweden-based developer that previously worked on PSN games Landit Bandit and Pipe Madness. The only aspect of the new game that's been decided is that it will be an "action platformer" -- everything else, such as the title, plot, and character design, will be thought up by the public.

Each Friday for the next eight weeks, a new challenge will be shared. The following week, the top submissions will be presented on Facebook where they'll then be voted on. The winner each week will be included in the game with the creator receiving a listing in the game's credits.
