A Minimum website is online, heralding development of this "action packed free-to-play shooter set in a stylized world of endless possibilities" coming soon to Steam from TimeGate Studios, most recently implicated in the he-said/she-said co-development of Aliens: Colonial Marines along with Gearbox Software (thanks Polygon). A FAQ is online with word on the game, saying early access will begin on April 16th. The also have a trailer showing the game's minimized, texture-free look. Here's word on how they are looking to crowd-source ideas for where they take development from here:

For us, MINIMUM is a different type of game. We’ve been on this journey of creativity and discovery and we’ve learned just how multi-faceted a world we were creating: this limitless, unbound opportunity that every member of our team contributed into. We’ve only scratched the surface so far, we know this. The trick has been to unhinge ourselves by not limiting ideas to any one person, but rather crowdsourcing ideas from the entire team. Now, the best way for MINIMUM to realize its potential, we believe, is to bring you – the players, the fans – to the development table with us.

This is our promise to you. We believe in MINIMUM, and want your Influence, your ideas and your creativity to steer us. Not only will we listen, as every other developer promises to do, but we are also creating a mechanism to empower you, just as our entire team is empowered. The fun, the heart of MINIMUM is no longer just ours, and we can’t wait to see where we collectively go from here.

So keep an eye out for MINIMUM’s Closed Alpha launch on Steam’s Early Access channel very soon. Until then, browse around our site, take in the info that’s available, and start chatting with us on the forums. We’re thrilled to have you here and can’t wait till you can play the game!
