Coming Soon from GameSalad's development studio, Game Team One, Battle Legend Infinity!

Battle Legend Infinity is a love letter to the video games of our childhood - a retro-inspired campaign of endurance, strategy, and wits.

The game is a fast paced endurance battle in various locales against hordes of enemies inspired by the games of the 80's and 90's. The heroes in the game are the Descendants of Erdrick, Austin's premiere video game rock cover band.

The art and sound feature authentic pixels and chiptune libraries to bring the air of nostalgia while refining it using modern beats and touch controls.

This game is scheduled to release on Android and iOS in January and will be a free download. Additional future platforms will include HTML5, Chrome App and Facebook App.

    Battle Legend Infinity is NOW LIVE!

    We are beyond excited and proud to share this fun homage to retro gaming with you guys. We believe that Battle Legend Infinity is a great example of what can be done with GameSalad.

    "One of the biggest challenges in playing a retro role playing game on-the-go is the time commitment. Taking cues from great short-burst games like Canabalt and Jetpack Joyride we have compressed the experience to fast paced battles that challenge the player with quick decision making and hero building while still being consumable in small chunks," says Billy Garretsen, who leads GameTeamOne. "Working along side the Descendants of Erdrick - a band dedicated to celebrating the games that shaped us all - really made this project a labor of love and a true homage to the 8 and 16bit era while still keeping a modern spin."

    Game Features Include:

    10 unique Battle Fields to Conquer
    5 Descendants of Erdrick Hero Characters
    Retro Inspired Pixel Art & Soundtrack
    Exciting Level Challenges
    Over 100 Collectible Enemies and Artifacts
    Game Center Leaderboards

    I think that the game looks awesome, i will download and give it a try^^
    But i have a question.
    Is this game made with GameSalad? If Yes how can this game have in App purchased? Does this mean Inn app purchased is already ready?
  • LaurenSaladLaurenSalad Inactive, Chef Emeritus Posts: 650
    Hey @Prodigio! Battle Legend Infinity was made with GameSalad by our internal game development studio, GameTeamOne.

    Also, we have announced that In App is on its way: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/37301/gamesalads-year-in-review-2011-and-a-look-ahead-to-2012/p1
    via Steve, our CEO- "We currently have a build out to the Sous Chefs that includes In-App Purchase and Tables – the top two requested features from the community. Provided everything checks out ok, you can expect that to be released in mid-January."

    Have you guys had a chance to play Battle Legend yet? We would love to hear your thoughts!
  • Braydon_SFXBraydon_SFX Member, Sous Chef, Bowlboy Sidekick Posts: 9,273
    I've played it. It's so much fun! Ya'll did a great job with it! I will write a review later on today.
  • ARC_GamesARC_Games Member Posts: 78
    I downloaded it today and messed with it a little. It looks good to me, but I didn't spend much time playing it (just tried a couple of quick battles, one in the Forest and one in the Coliseum). It's not my preferred genre of game to play, but I wanted to check it out and see what your team came up with. It looks good though, congrats and good luck with it!

    What a great way to start the day! Unknown to us, the good people at 148apps took the time to give Battle Legend Infinity a spin! Click here to check out the honest and flattering review. To us at GameSalad, this is a very important step at not only establishing our own game making arm, but also showing the world at large just how ambitious GameSalad created games can be. As a token to everyone who has been supporting Battle Legend Infinity since its release earlier this month, we would like to give you a free game booklet download. Meant to be a true homage like the game itself, @GameTeamOne took the extra care and effort to put together an instruction manual that looks like it came right out of the 8 and 16 bit eras. Enjoy and thanks for your continued support!

    We are SO excited to introduce a new feature to the GameSalad community, the official GameSalad podcast! The podcast will be moderated by GameSalad employees and will cover topics such as retro gaming and other gaming enthusiast topics.

    In this pilot episode of GameSalad's Official Podcast, we interview videogame rock cover band The Descendants of Erdrick, who star in GameSalad's Battle Legend Infinity. Together with BLI designer/director Billy Garretsen (of @GameTeamOne), the group discusses their love for retro games, and the challenges of bringing that love to life through music.



    You can also read more about the podcast here in the GameSalad blog: http://gamesalad.com/blog/listen-up-battle-legend-infinity-podcast-now-available

    We are anxious to hear your thoughts on our first venture into Podcasting. We hope you enjoy this lively discussion about retro games as much as we did!
