XNA Challenge - Tower Defense Game
So, over at dream.in.code there's an XNA Challenge going on.
Since I've been planning on brushing up my XNA and of course releasing a couple of games for Windows Phone 7, it would make no sense for me to pass up on the perfect opportunity to do so.
In addition to just taking part, I'm going to post on my blog with progress as I go through out, and of course how to overcome any problems that I experience. On a basic game level it shouldn't be too difficult, however I plan on going beyond the requirements by implementing multiplayer capabilities across platforms... Let's see if I can do it!
Features:
- Windows 7 + Windows Phone 7 Clients
- Server-based Multiplayer across platforms
- Tower defense, objective to defend structure from attack by creatures
- Player is not "god" but is instead a creature who can build structures
- Game modes - Fixed Path, Random Path, Open World
Don't forget to follow my progress both on my blog and on Twitter (@rudi_visser)!
