Create your own video game with Microsoft’s XNA Game Studio
I sincerely think it was just a matter of time before people could create their own video games, as the advances of Technology makes the “hard to understand” sound and look simple.
Microsoft has stepped in and is set to release the consumer version of their professional software tools used to create video games for its Xbox 360 console.
The XNA Game Studio Express program, an offshoot of the company’s more robust XNA Framework, will be available August 30 for a $99 annual subscription, the company announced Monday.
“It’s our first step of creating a YouTube for video games,” Moore said, referring to the wildly popular free online video sharing Web site. “It will give you everything you need to bring your game to life on Xbox 360.”
The program would be a first for consoles, which traditionally have been the exclusive domain of skilled programmers, artists and designers.
Moore said the program is basic compared to the pro tools, which cost tens of thousands of dollars.
……..and did i mention that it will only work with Windows PC’s?
