可能是遊戲史上第一個可讓玩家自行寫遊戲, 並用自己的家用機作 dev kit 的創舉!

XNA Game Studio Express Has Been Released!

Michael Klucher
Program Manager – XNA Game Studio

It’s a bit early in the morning for all of us, but we wanted to be one of the first to tell you that XNA Game Studio Express has been released!

To download the released product for Windows, head over to: http://msdn.com/xna/gse/. You can now also purchase a subscription to the XNA Creators Club from the Xbox Live Marketplace on your Xbox 360 console if you have an active silver or gold Xbox Live subscription.

Before you purchase a subscription to the XNA Creators Club please take the time to go over the PC and Xbox 360 console requirements in the readme. Once you’ve done that here’s how to get it:

1. On the Xbox Live blade, go to “Xbox Live Marketplace”
2. Select “Games” and then “All Game Downloads”
3. Scroll down the list to find the “XNA Creators Club”
4. Here you’ll be able to go under Memberships to purchase a 4-Mo membership for $49.00 or an Annual (12-mo) membership $99.00. The prices used here reflect the subscription rates for the United States and pricing may differ for your local region or country if outside the USA.
5. You’ll also need to download the XNA Game Launcher from the same area. Having done so, you will find a new XNA Game Launcher program on your Games blade under Demos and More.

Once you’re up and running, please refer to the XNA Documentation to get connected to your Xbox 360 and start creating games. If you run into trouble or can’t get connected, please head over to the XNA Game Studio Express forum and ask your questions.

We’d also like to thank all of you for taking the time to download our betas and give us some great feedback. Many decisions that took place on the final product were based on the feedback that we got from you all. Thank you and we hope that you continue to enjoy using XNA Game Studio Express.

經過兩個 beta version 後, XNA 終於以完成品現身供大家下載. 我也很想試試在家中製作 360 遊戲啊! 不過應該沒有那麼快會發生啦, 因為自己對 C# 認識太淺了.

不過也先把玩一下吧, 搞不好很快就順道加入 Creator’s Club 呢

剛剛試過開新檔, 有 360 game/ library type project

XNA Game Studio Express 其實是個為 360 而設的 Visual C# 2005 Express ed.
