Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) and indie videogame developer Rockin’
Android announced today a collaborative effort, in which the two companies will
localize, produce and release doujin, or Japanese-style indie video games, for
the PlayStation Network. The three titles scheduled for simultaneous release in
May 2010 are Gundemonium Recollection, GundeadliGne, Hitogata Happa.
“Bringing the Rockin’ Android Gundemonium collection to the PlayStation
Network further strengthens our position as a leading publisher for independent
titles on the PSN” said Jason Herzceg, Director of Business Development at SOE.
“Being the first publisher to bring doujin games to the PlayStation Network
demonstrates our desire to deliver new genres filled with creative games to a
global audience.”
Rockin’ Android is a highly respected independent publisher of doujin games
that now has the ability to expose its games to the large PlayStation Network
audience.
“Our collaboration with game development powerhouse Sony Online Entertainment
creates an incredibly unprecedented opportunity to expose many of Japan’s top
indie video games to the worldwide online gaming community,” said Rockin’
Android President Enrique Galvez. “This is truly an exciting time for both
companies, the Japanese indie game industry and gaming consumers.”

multiple levels of frenetic action and high–impact weaponry. All of the titles
