@swanson well, the #Xbox360 was the #IndieGames movement birthplace with #XBLA & #XNA #GameStudio.

  • Sadly #Microsoft did cancel xna in favour of ID@XBOX

@farben

Really close to the nostalgia kick that is #XNA background color (cornflower blue).

@manawyrm

@ligthert well, it dod have appeal for a lot of #IndieDevelopers when #Microsoft dialed back on their #XNA program and it was quite consumer-friendly with their mandatory #free #demo.

  • Shurely in hindsight we'd all know that they should've scrapted their proprietary wireless controller and just shipped an #Xbox360 bootleg wired cibtroller or just wait a year till #Android got it's #Gamepad-#API standardized.

But it's not a #trainwreck like the #zeebo that only made sense on paper from an exec perspective, completely ignoring #piracy on existing platforms as competition!

It's been a long time since I've seen a new #PlayOnBSD game based on #XNA, but here is a nice one:

... and it's free! On #OpenBSD, you can use #IndieRunner to launch it...

Spellatro by BootdiskRevolution

A roguelike word game that combines Scrabble and Balatro!

Converting a Microsoft XNA 3.1 game to MonoGame

In this post I describe how I took a Microsoft XNA 3.1 game from 15 years ago and converted it to use MonoGame on .NET 8 in just a few hours

I also remember using #xna #monogame and #unity, but these days it's #godot all the way down, even though I am not a game developer and I do not develop games

Great games like "Bastion" and "Salt and Sanctuary" were written in #XNA which would later become #mongame but are there any other great indie titles that were written using XNA/Monogame I should check out?

I know the Xbox Live Arcade era used XNA at the time, but I never owned an Xbox and don't know about those titles.

If anyone has any suggestions on Monogame/XNA titles of yesteryear please let me know.
