Can the coders make this game available on X-Box live arcade. It's supposed to be easy to do with microsoft game programming and would let more people play this game than the "other" game ever could.
This would be awesome!
I think this is a PC only exclusive for now. They MAY in the future when we have more coders think about it but right now it seems PC only.
It's very unlikely that this will be on the Xbox Live Arcade, and you'll see why when the first alpha is released.
i alos doubt this will be ported.
A Microsoft Charge a license fee.
games should be under 50MB, with games under 25MB being ideal.
they want games that'll work well on a console and that'll utilize the features of Live as much as possible.
They want "quick-playing" games, things players can pick up and put down fifteen minutes later. These games are meant to be downloaded, so they shouldn't require a manual, or maps, or complex instructions -- "pick up and play" simplicity is the key to a successful Live Arcade game.
And the Idea has to be vetted by MS Staff before you can even get hold of the development tool, and the will only allow developers who who will actually be able to deliver a product. Experience and working capital and with an open source project can not really qualify.
The platforms we originally targeted are as follows in order...
Windows - 1
Macintosh OSX - 2 (port)
Unik/Linux - 3 (port)
Possibly a "React OS" (Windows Clone) port as number 4 later on. React OS is an open source and free system. It runs many current windows applications.
It is unlikely that this will be produced for consoles, primarily because the CAD style user interface is built around mouse click input and would not translate well to joypad style input.
As already mentioned, to develop for a console we need access to the dev kits, all of which costs money that we don't have.
well, doesnt microsoft have a keyboard for the xbox 360?
plus there are adapters out there too.
Get a playstation 3, install linux and install the game there when it comes out
yeah when it comes out on linux... why not just install xp or something like that?
