Greetings, Creators!
It has been a very busy week for us! This is the time of year that announcements start happening and events come fast and furious! We’re doing all we can to prepare for this and meanwhile we’ve noticed that you’re making some pretty incredible games!
Recently, XNA MVP George “George Clingerman” Clingerman posted a very honest and helpful post-mortem on his Xbox LIVE Indie Game, Kissy Poo. Anyone interested in making a game should take a look at his post.
Superstar and cat lover Shawn Hargreaves always has interesting thoughts in his blog posts this week. The first points out the hazards he encounters when he attempts to predict the future (and explains why he really just doesn’t bother), and the second gives his honest opinion on the state of the XNA Framework today.
Meanwhile, have you started following Former XNA MVP/new XNA Team Member Nick Gravelyn’s Twitter? You should! This week he twittered an XNA Game Studio-related pop quiz question; you can find the answer now in his blog and perhaps learn a bit about Microsoft’s implementation of C# in XNA Game Studio.
Finally, for our Spanish-speaking Creators, we’d like to let you know about a Catalonia, Spain .Net User Group, comprised of university students; who host a regular webcast series that might be of interest to you. In their next episode, they are planning to speak with the Creator of the XBLIG, Kaotik Puzzle, and how his game was made!
