XNA Game Studio Express Update - Xbox
Microsoft have updated their XNA Game Studio Express which allows developers a cost effective entry to developing Xbox360 games.
The refresh contains a packager allowing which can create both Xbox360 and PC games (only packing the game, not the source).
It also allows: -
* Official XNA Game Studio Express compatibility with Windows Vista
* Support for 3D audio using XACT
* Support for fonts in the XNA Framework
* Various other product enhancements and performance tuning
In order to share games, users must sign up to the XNA Creators Club which is available via Xbox LIVE Marketplace for $49 (U.S.) for 4 month sub, or $99 (U.S.) for 12 months.
By allowing smaller players (including home users) to develop games, there could be some interesting projects which could become a reality.
