Robot Co-op adventure Biped Out now on Steam!

Award winning developer NExT Studios delivers new cutting-edge interactive experience in

Biped is a co-op action game with a strong emphasis on physics. The players control cute
robots Aku and Sila on a fun and bonding adventure, overcoming unique puzzles and
challenges to save the Earth from going dark. Biped supports both couch co-op and online
multiplayer and can be played solo, too.

“Two years ago we experimented with making a climbing game, using full ragdoll physics. That’s how the Biped idea was born,” - says Dong Ding, Producer at NExT Studios. - “It is exciting to see the game finally finished. We can’t wait to hear the feedback from you, our valued players!”

Key features:
● Innovative and simple controls . You control the robot's two legs using two sticks or left
and right mouse buttons. This allows you to perform various moves—from simple
walking and sliding to more advanced actions, like operating machinery or cutting wood.
● Two-player co-op . Enjoy the adventure solo or grab a friend or a family member and
have a blast together in co-op mode. Communicate and coordinate to conquer
challenges together and find out how good a pair you truly are.
● Explore fun environments. Your adventure will take you to many beautiful and
mysterious locations on the planet. Explore secrets in forests, valleys, waterfalls,
and icy mountains and find your way through the puzzling paths that lead to the
planetary beacons.

Join our team members Vlad and Maurice as they walkthrough the biped training and the Dense Forest level. Along the way, they provide overall insights, basic controls, and what's to be expected when you get a chance to play biped with your family and friends!

We’re super excited to be able to share some of the development story about biped, our upcoming couch co-op game that the team at NEXT Studios will be releasing next year on PS4, and then on Nintendo Switch!

Biped is a co-op game based around ragdoll physics and the use of the controller’s analog sticks to control each of the character’s LEGS, not just the character themselves. Biped is special in many ways and it has been a truly fun game to make as well as play. So today we’ll spend a little time talking about where the idea for the game came from.

Initial biped concept

Back in 2017, two of the team’s developers Ru Zhenchao and Zhao Jing were prototyping another concept in which a biped side character was conceptualized to support part of the design intentions.

At the time we hadn’t planned to make a game around such biped characters. But as we continued with the original concept we realized that in fact, the biped characters were not only fun to control but also cute and exciting to watch!

By rotating the analog sticks, players get a 1 for 1 control over the legs and this creates a sense of purpose for each action and each input. The physics and controls created an immersive experience and brought the player directly into the game so that they could FEEL each and every step.

After spending more time with these secondary characters, the team thought, “Hey, we might have something special here.” So we decided to shift the project’s focus from the original concept to the two-legged robots and lo and behold, biped was born!

Concept art of Aku and Sila

In the next developer blog, we’ll talk more about how we integrated co-op into the biped experience. Thank you for all the interest in biped and our cute, quirky robots, Aku and Sila!
