Robbie Bach Uni Talk
Posted by Michael in Games, Programming, Students, Xbox 360 on January 31st, 2010
Robbie Bach, President of Microsoft’s Entertainment and Devices division is giving a public talk at the University of Sydney on Tuesday 9th February 2010.
For any readers who are in Sydney, this would be a great event to attend. E&D covers everything from the XBOX to the Surface, even Keyboards + Mice from MS hardware.
Hopefully there will be a Natal unit on display, and maybe a demo, although no confirmation yet.
RSVP by emailing kumarman[at]microsoft.com
Nebulon Now Available
Just letting everyone who reads this know that Nebulon is now available on XBOX LIVE Community Games. The official website for the game is http://nebulon.darkomengames.co.uk and you can go through there to buy online, or find it on your XBOX 360 console.
We are considering bringing this to PC, there are some things that need to be done before that can happen, but if DapydTheBard is willing it will probably happen.
Nebulon in Peer Review
I mentioned previously that a game by fellow DOG member DaphydTheBard was undergoing play testing. Well I am happy to report it is ready for peer review and hopefully should be out soon. If anyone has a Creators Club Premium account, it would be great if you could peer review Nebulon and help speed up its release.
You can get to the peer review page using this link: http://catalog.xna.com/en-GB/GameDetails.aspx?catalogEntryId=7432580d-50e3-439e-b180-f1ca39df65a3&type=1
Hope you enjoy the game, and let us know what you think on the DOG blog.
Edit: Seems it failed due to a MU issue that should be fixed soon. The DOG blog and other places will have further info when the game goes back into peer review.
Nebulon in Playtest
For those of you out there with a Creators Club Premium membership, head on over to http://creators.xna.com and help us (Dark Omen Games) out by playtesting Nebulon, our first game on the service. You can see a trailer for Nebulon in my last post here, and using the normal interface on the Creators Club website, you can access the build of Nebulon we have up there and try it out. Let us know what you think and if you encounter any issues in the associated forum thread.
Hope you enjoy it!
You can find out more about Nebulon here. We hope to have a game website up shortly with screenshots, videos, and information on both the PC and XBOX 360 versions.
Bioshock 2 – 9 Minutes of Awesome
I loved the first game, and this one looks like it is going to be just as great. (If not more)
Watch the video (I suggest in HD) and then go play Bioshock if you haven’t already.
