Democracy Now: An Interview with Torque X Developer GarageGames (Page 1/3)
Next 
GS: Now that the entry price for developing for the XBox 360 is so low, what kind of games do you expect and hope to see? MF: What kind of games do I expect and hope to see? I guess that the easier question to answer would be what kind of game developers I hope to see. As far as what they're going to make, well, I don't know. I think that there's a huge number of areas in terms of games and game mechanics and untapped paths in both 2D and 3D game mechanics that I would hope to see exploited. Mostly what I'd like to see is more people and more creative energy going into development.
GS: Where do you see independent XBox 360 development heading? MF: I think one of the great things about XNA is that it opens up console development to such a wide potential audience of developers. We'll definitely start seeing applications that you'd never expect to see on a console, things that aren't necessarily games. Whether they're new ways of visualizing music or different forms of interactive video and audio creations, that sort of thing. I think now that we have this device in our living room that people can code for, it's going to be huge. GS: Do you think that, with Torque X and XNA, we may be seeing some unknowns get discovered and possibly receive full Live Arcade releases? MF: Absolutely. I was talking to one of the product managers for Live Arcade, and it's certainly going to make their job a lot easier. They have a huge amount of interest in people developing games for Live Arcade. This will allow them to preview and look at the actual running gameplay on the actual console. I believe this will open it up to a much wider potential audience of developers. (Page 1/3)
