This site ends here.
I will no longer update this site. My new homepage is xmr1.net. This site will receive no future updates, however, I will leave it here for 'completetion'. (I linked to this site from various forums and I hate forum links that end up in dead space, because the site they link to is no longer available).
I will continue updates on my new domain.

General/Xna - 29.August 2010

Again no updates for some time, but this time I wasn't on holidays.

 Updates:
    - Added link to grc.com in the websites section.
    - Changed copyrights a bit, as there are quite some companies out there who are already called 'Nexware', so I can't and don't want to pick that name for my indie games, as it could lead to quite some legal hassle. (Excuse if I am slow, and you still download any software that is copyrighted with Nexware, I'll change that all within the next few hours).
    - Adjusted contact page (twitter update!).

General/Xna - 15.August 2010

Been on holidays, no overall progress on anything.
However, I figured, that a ZuneHD/WP7 template won't make sense, as there is quite a bit of change from Xna 3.1 to 4.0. I'll convert my current Template, so it suits the WP7, too, however I can't release it, as all the new WP7 Emulator releases (which happen internally at Microsoft weekly, and quite a bit less often for non-internals) do change stuff, that would render some functionality unusable (happened twice to me).
I'll be working on a WP7 app for the next time and do hope to finish it before the official WP7 release (which happens quite a bit earlier than expected, in october 2010).

Xna - 28.June 2010

Been creating this during the last few games I started and figured that it'd be worth sharing. I basically kept adding more content, that I'd re-use in each game, so I extracted it and made this template out of it.
GameEngine provides various helpful stuff. Read more here.
It does not support Zune, or Windows Phone 7 architecture as of yet. Either I will implement it in the future, or I may create a seperate template, which has more fitting stuff for touch devices.

Xna - 27.June 2010

Porting was quicker than I expected it to be. Didn't even take 2 days to finish it.
All my ZuneHD games are potentially now available on WP7, too, though I need to get my hands on a phone before releasing the games, to test out tilt behaviour (changes happend from ZuneHD to WP7, so I need to see whether the code works).

General - 25.June 2010

Huge page update. Finally managed to do a lot of things I wanted to:
-Added a disclaimer to the site.
-Added a copyrights section to the site.
-Updated the about section.
-Added a contact section to the site.
-Redesigned the download sections.

Currently I'm busy getting everything ready to port my games over to Xna 4.0, which will allow me to share them on the marketplace (to come with Windows Phone 7 [short: WP7]).
I currently plan to give them away for free (as I already did so for the Zune HD) and afterwards create some commercial ones, which I'll sell for WP7. I may create little demos of them, for use on the Zune HD.

Xna - 27.Februar 2010

I just finished and uploaded my first ZuneHD game! More info here | Download here
I'll create more apps for the ZuneHD and will release each itself (including source code and a working copy for Windows [will be limited at some point, e.g. no landscape mode, but controls get mapped to Windows input correctly]).
I will also create a program that will hold all my apps, once I finished all my apps. This will allow to play more games without waittime, because ZuneHD requires reboot (takes 26 seconds) when exiting a game.

It gets played as deathmatch (since you run faster with the knife) and is quite challenging.
