XBLA: Showdown
Author
Hi guys,
I know there's a lot of interest in the X-Box Live Arcade (XBLA) for Indie Developers but for most of us it's out of reach due to various considerations (time, money, accessibility)
I propose, with Microsoft's co-operation, that sometime after the 4E5 compettition we have an XBLA show-down. The aim is to develop an XBLA game on the PC and hopefully arrange for Microsoft to talk to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place entries. It wouldn't be a guarantee to have their game on XBLA but instead would be a catapult for launching them in to talks with the Microsoft Team.
What do you think?

Yes, that's my point. I was asking why "sometime after the 4E5 compettition" ?

At the least, they would detract from each other in terms of staff time and community involvement.Quote: Original post by twoaterisnYes, that's my point.

Of course, there's nothing stopping people from making their 4E5 entries Xbox-friendly. If you win 4E5, it may be an indicator that you've got something worth talking to Microsoft about.

Does Xbox360 have compilers for any language but C++? You'd hope MS would push .NET but Blitz/GameMaker/etc aren't really compatible.

XNA Framework. Requires an Xbox 360 devkit.

*bump* seeing as there's just recently been news related to the XNA Express framework. The only thing I don't like is the restrictive nature of the framework.
