Working With New Software

It takes a lot of time and dedication to create games, and without the proper software games would be very hard to create, and would take a lot of time. We at Agroome choose to use Microsoft XNA as out game tool, and Softimage|XSI to create our 3D models. With these two powerful tools the games we can create have no limits accept the computer they are running on. XNA allows us to creates games that network so we can allow multiplayer; but what is a multiplayer games without it being 3D? That is where XSI comes in. XSI allows us to create the 3D models of the trees, people, monsters, and all the other objects we choose to put in our games. Without this software, our games would take tons of time to make.

We also have new plans for the future. I, the head of the programming department, am learning a ton about XNA, the C# programming language, and XSI. With this knowledge I can take the ideas that idea development were working for hours on and put them into a fully playable game. Though this is a very hard task, we really enjoy doing it. Creating games is what we love to do, and when my knowledge grow more, we can finally start putting out better games that will be very nice to play. Our main goal is to create many 3D games that will keep our players busy for hours at a time. But, 2D games can be just as fun. We will not stop developing 2D games even after we are skilled 3D game designers.

Another thing we like to offer is for everyone to be able to try Beta versions of the games we design for free. We will only release games in Beta form to the public after our specially picked Alpha testing team is done finding all the large bugs. Why we want to offer them for free is to give everyone a taste of our games to see if it will be worth buying the final version. We also want to offer free Beta versions to have a much bigger team to work out bugs. How it works is you get free games, and we get to find all the bugs in our programs for free. In the end, we all win. And for an even better benefit we will even pick the most active Beta testers to get a free version of the final release of large scale games.

Thank you for reading this post, and I hope this gave you a little more information about what will be happening, and what is currently happening. We look forward to getting more games out as soon as we can.
