Today on Playstation.Blog, Tiki Games announced their first game for the Playstation Network, "Novastrike". Novastrike is a top down space shooter, which is a wholly unremarkable concept. What IS remarkable however, is that Novastrike represents the first self-published game to appear on the Playstation Network.

Lead developer Kevin McCann had this to say:

For you gamers that might understandably not mean much, but for any independent developers that are currently developing a title for PSN or thinking about doing it – we’re proof that you can self-publish a game on PSN.

This can only be exciting news for PS3 owners. There are many amazing Indie developers out there and now that the PSN "glass ceiling" has been broken, the next couple of years should bring some exciting new content to the PS3.
