Game Development for the masses
by Joseph Burchett on Jan.08, 2009, under Developers, Joseph Burchett
I must admit Microsoft is doing pretty well in the game development scene these days… With the birth of XNA, they have made it really easy for just about anyone with a little bit of basic programming knowledge to make a high quality video game pretty easily. But it seems with there new project Kudo they are going to try and make it even easier for people to make games! “Kodu is a new visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone. The programming environment runs on the Xbox, allowing rapid design iteration using only a game controller for input.” So really with this new tool it will make it super easy for just about anyone to make a game. In a sense it’s like RPG Maker but way more mainstream… So yeah, *claps* bravo Microsoft, bravo.
