Can we say that FFWD will support Windows Phone Apollo? #57
Comments
Hi Stan, As you have probably heard, Microsoft has lifted the veil on WP8. Game development is given a big lift in the right direction with WP8. Since XNA will not to be supported for direct development on WP8, it Regarding FFWD/XNA development on the 360, nothing has been officially Sendt fra min Windows Phone Stan Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: |
So there is a major probability that Windows Phone Apollo's game development can be done by using a game engine like Unity 3D or Unreal Engine provided Microsoft gives it to them. |
I really think it's sad that all my hours with XNA is kind of "wasted" if MS will not let XNA be supported on WP8. Win8 will not support XNA by default, which I was hoping for. |
Learning a new API and learning to make games is never wasted. Remember that. You will find that you can carry a lot of techniques over to Unity. I think I have read on some Unity post, maybe just a tweet from David, that they were looking to provide WP8 support, but there is no official word on it yet. |
Waiting eagerly on some official news. |
@fehaar Yeah I know and like learning stuff - actually I'm doing it as much as I can. So I had already planned that I would, at some point, look into unity3d because it seems like an awesome game engine. Still I find it a little sad if Microsoft kill of there own (pretty ok actually) gamge framework, XNA. Sorry for going a little off-topic/"spamming" this issue. |
Both the official Windows Phone Developer Team @wpdevteam on Twitter and Mark Chamberlain in the AppHub forums have stated that XNA will be available in the Window Phone 8 SDK for creating Windows Phone 8 apps. |
I am not sure if I should write this here but it is a troubling issue none the less. I was excited when Microsoft was showcasing Windows Phone 8 or Apollo. Game Development on Apollo is very quiet, a little too quite for my comfort.
I was wondering if you guys have heard of any news in Game Development for Apollo and also the main question will Fast Forward support development for Apollo.
