• Of Gods and Sandboxes

  Danc from Lost Garden has another prototyping challenge. Take his (really very lovely) graphics and simple game design and create a game prototype to explore some of the mechanics and ideas he has written about. Obviously, I'd much prefer you to be working on competition entries but if you're not this looks like a lot of fun. Maybe you could even work it into the competition's Ocean Odyssey theme and still enter. As I can't enter the competition I might have a look at this, if only because I find the graphics so impossibly cute and I loved Populous.

• It moves

  Hey, there's activity on the XNA UKUG site. It's taken a while to get this site up and running and we've got more to do but it's lovely to see it taking shape.

  Most excitingly, we've released details of the competition we're hosting and having seen the prizes, thanks to competition sponsor Microsoft, I kinda wish that I could enter now. Still, I get to judge which should be good fun.

• Moving...

  Now that we're getting the XNA UKUG site up and running, I thought I'd move my XNA stuff from the old place to here. I'll move over whatever content is still valid and there will be more to come.
