XNA Dead
In case you haven't heard, MS has killed off XNA. Was nice knowing you. This is a sad day for indie gaming. XNA was more than just a wrapper over DirectX, it was an example of a graphics API done right. As graphics APIs go it was relatively easy to get started and had tons of very useful examples of starter games. This is a huge mistake MS.
Hosting Your Game Site on Blogspot?
Good reasons to host your indie game's site on BlogSpot:
- not only are there no hosting fees and no domain purchase fees, but you actually get paid ad revenue
- if you set it up correctly ads are non-intrusive
- can customize HTML and host nearly any type of content
- mobile-friendly version is automatically generated (check this site on a phone)
- site will be hosted free, forever, unless Google goes out of business (small chance)
- use Google Groups for a forum and no need for the headaches involved in hosting a message board and people can just log in with a Google account
