[casual_games] A chance to ask the tough questions

[Rob C]

Hello Everyone,

As I’m sure most developers are aware Microsoft is currently in the process 
of rolling out two new development packages for Windows, Vista and XNA. With 
the release of new development platforms, come new questions and new issues 
to be addressed by game developers looking to use this software.

The Causal Games SIG has been working with the XNA developers at Microsoft 
to help our members get direct answers to some of the questions you might 
have about the XNA development software.

We will be publishing a Q&A article with the XNA developers in the Casual 
Game winter quarterly. In a bit of a different twist on a standard article, 
rather than asking our own questions, we are going to take your questions 
straight to the developers and get the answers you need.

Over the next couple of weeks we’ll collect any questions you might have and 
send them over to the XNA developers, we’ll get the answers back to you and 
publish the most common and useful ones in the next quarterly. The only 
request we’ve had from the XNA developers is that you check their FAQ at 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/xna/faq/
before posting your questions to make sure it hasn’t already been addressed.

You can post your questions to the casual games message board or send them 
to me directly at Robert at tablestargames.com and I’ll get them in front of 
the right people. Please include XNA Questions in the subject of your e-mail 
and a note if you don’t want your name included with the question if it’s 
published.

Let us know if you find this type of opportunity helpful and we’ll try to do 
more of them in the future through the SIG.

Thanks,
Rob Carroll
