Xbox 360 indie games falling blocks software#
Microsoft, playing to its traditional strengths in software development for personal computers, began offering game production tools to amateurs and hobbyists about 18 months ago under an initiative dubbed “XNA.” Microsoft used its keynote at the Game Developers Conference to officially launch the service for its Xbox 360, underscoring the importance it expects such simpler games to play in broadening the appeal of that machine. Although the exact date hadnt been announced beforehand it happens to be just over a year since new games and updates were no longer being accepted onto the platform.
Microsoft said trial versions of the first independent games, with titles such as “Jell圜ar” and “The Dishwasher: Dead Samurai,” were available immediately, and it expected hundreds of games to hit the service by the end of the year. As part of Microsofts Xbox 360 indie games phase out program, removal of the Xbox 360 indie marketplace will commence on the 7th of October 2017.
Microsoft Corp and Nintendo Co Ltd unveiled on Wednesday new online services for their video game consoles to showcase games by independent developers, part of a push by the companies to tap enthusiasm for so-called casual games.
