Back from holidays. News Recap

Captain ZSquare — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 09:07:00 +0000

Hi all!

I'm back from my holidays, so here's a list of news from the XNA world that stacked up, and you might have missed:

Nuclex welcomes us to the first part of his XNA Game Archtiecture Series, where he talks about his proposed development tree and third party libraries.

The series of Free Game Assets continues with a new free pack of Planet Sprites and Textures.

Innovative Game's "Game Engine Tutorial" continues with a new part about the Content Manager.

Shawn Hargreaves has two very enlightening posts the you should definitely read. This first is "Bug or Feature" talking about a bug in Extreme G that was seen as a feature by reviewers. The second one talks about AI Coordinate Systems, as used in Moto GP.

Finally, Nick Gravelyn posted some tweaks to his Interpolators.

Free UI sprites

Looks like I was wrong last time, when I assumed something 4D would be next in the series of Free Game Assets

But even if it's not 4D, what we get this time is still cool: some sprites to use for User Interfaces.

More Free stuff

Remember that day when we linked to some free music for indie games? If you do, REJOICE! There's two more packs of free stuff coming from the same guys at Iron Star Media. First, some sprites for particle effects, followed by low poly sports models.

Following a linear progression, the next pack should contain something that's 4D! Can't wait to see what it is...
