The XNA Post

Eric and I have decided to join forces and work on a side-project together. The last joint venture of ours I remember was NintendoZone.com, back in freshman year of High School, and that was a pretty big success story (until Nintendo threatened to sue, and shut us down-jerks). This one is also gaming related but pushes us both in a more direct route. We will be attempting to make our own game for Xbox Live Arcade. Microsoft offers a developers community where, for a fee, wanna-be game developers can build and publish arcade games for the 360. It’s a whole developer-community, with forums, tutorials and various tools for building games centered on the Xbox console. Were both really excited about the prospect of building something that could one day be available as a game for sale. It’s a personal goal of mine that I have had for a long time to make a game, and with Eric’s programming skills and my artistic talents I think we might stand a chance at pulling it off. We want to start of with something simple to learn the ropes then gradually build up to a more involved and complex game. Even if nothing ever comes of our efforts, it will be a great learning experience and a lot of fun along the way. To be continued!
