@Melchezidek,

I have yet to start using this API, however considering that it requires VS C# Express to be installed, I really doubt it would be of any use to anyone without knowledge of C#.

Sounds like fun, but I am a writer who wants to bring his ideas to life NOT a programmer. Is it possible to use this tool set with ZERO knowledge of writing code?

Nice. Is the Torque X a recommended tool to use with this application? Would you be better off just using XNA Express as a stand alone?

Only thing I wish was different is that it also worked with the full release version of Visual Studio .NET 2005, instead of making me install the Express version of C# as well :p Maybe you could ask the XNA team about that???! ;p

Picked this up last night and love it so far. Shame the content pipeline didn't make beta. Looking forward to Torque X too as I already have a bunch of stuff running on Torque. Hopefully they release a way to get .x or .fbx models in soon, if not they I guess I'll be writing my own :)

Will non"XNA Creator's Club" subscribers be able to download "XNA Creator's Club" members uploaded content via Xbox Live or by any other means.. What I mean to say is, If I'm not a programmer and don't pay the fee for the Creator's Club membership..Will I still be able to access the user created content/games?

I can't download XNA this morning. The download links go to a page not found... Guess I'll try again this afternoon.

You can get a headstart on it though, once the final is out, you just port it...its not that hard.

Um, I'm soooooo not interested, I'm a gamer not a designer. I'm not even interested in ms or windows just games. But thanks for the update for those that are interested in these things.

I am glad i started learning C# a few months ago. Obviously its gonna be a while before i can create something decent. I got my controller installed on my pc last night, works like a dream.

@newb That's the right way to go.. What you're describing is sort of a hello world, but then for games :).. I created something similar (bit more graphics and collision detection) and it only took me 20 minutes total.. from beginning to end , including making the graphics and googling some soundeffects :)
