The Little Gamers XNA game is now available for free download on XBOX Live!!

I’ll blog more in depth about this later, now I’m busy dancing around while cheering

Enjoy a sight of the new “park” level

I’ve packaged a new installer for Teh Game’s demo.
This installer contains the XNA and .NET library in case that you would be missing it (most of you would need XNA anyway).

Here is a link to the game’s demo: download (66MB)

Have fun!

I’ve finally put together a PC version of the current advancement of the Little Gamers game.

Enjoy the demo (deleted, use the .msi demo instead)

Please e-mail me all your feedbacks ! (and bug reports)

Oh and before you launch it, be sure to take a look at the readme for the links, because you need .NET 2.0 and XNA 1.0 installed to be able to run the game (aswell as a GPU with 2.0 pixel shaders min.).
And since i’ve had a few people complain about the game crashing at startup (which reminds me that it was a good thing to have submitted a XBOX360 version to the contest instead of a PC version, since none of those crash problem are related to my game !):

1) Try to place the game’s folder in C:/ (there is a .NET bug with foreign languages that crash the program if placed in special user folders like Desktop)

2) Make sure that you’ve actually installed DX9, .NET 2.0 a and XNA 1.0 Refresh.

3) I did that on a PC of mine and it fixed the prob (so try it even if it sounds cheesy): re-install graphics driver, uninstall XNA then .NET.
install DX9.0c August, install .NET 2.0 and finally install XNA 1.0 Refresh.

Unfortunately, it didn’t won a XBLA contract… Who knows, maybe a publisher fell in love with the cute be deadly look
By the way, if you were at GameFest and you did play my game, please leave me a mail with your comments at loic@epsicode.net .
