It’s like fate or something! Must check out that Wii-mote file too, I’ve been looking into getting mine working with my PC for a little while now.

You were the clearest speaker on the xblradio show, by the way.

Cheers!

Probably all busy with LIFE. Haha just wanted to say thanks for being the jump off point for my XNA news keep up the good work! I would like to see this site grow. Get some ads on the home page and make a little bling.

Later!

Tuts are coming. Yes, life got in between. As for the site, it’s getting an overhaul soonish as well. I’ll start putting in ads soon (not for me, but for charity), but I’ll try to keep the bling to a minimium. The site will grow with a forum, though.

Cheers!

Jöran uses his own free time to deliver great tutorials to the ones using his site. And since alot of other things must be prioritized before free time, it may take some time for new tutorials comes out. Also thinking of how much time it must go down in making content, material and videos for these tutorials, im impressed that he managed to get out one new tutorial every week.
He usually updates this webpage once a week aswell (atleast around there), so it is not a dead page.
He has also said that he will start releasing new tutorials during Febuary.

And even if Jöran would decide not to release any more tutorials, the content that is already available on this page would qualify to keep the domain.

And sorry for all the typos and the bad grammar!

anyone can find a better site than this id like to see it

my favourite site on the net by far, keep up the good work joran

I hope things are ok. I just wanted to post giving my support to this great site and I hope the the actions of a few idiots do not put you off continuing this great series of tutorials.

I am sure there are many other people, like myself, that have become interested in game development and XNA due to the excellent work you have done to date with you tutorials and this site

P.S. At the moment like whole XNA Community stopped for a while, not just you.I hope that will change a bit, and that even I will update my site with the photoshop images I made way back earlier…

Kind Regards,

Some of the comments above refer to posts that got deleted by mistake.

IP 204.60.154.75 had made five posts, two of them really childish, consistng mostly of dots. I klicked on the ‘This is spam’ button on those two.

The spam software then proceeded to remove the other three comments from that IP.

However, the only thing relevant I found in the cache was this:

Me: “The size of Xbox Live Arcade titles will be increased from 50 MB to 250 MB. With special Microsoft approval, some games will be as big as 450 MB. This must be in preparation for bigger hard drives.”

Deleted Poster: “Wrong. Its in preparation for Castlevania. The larger HDD will be announced at E3 this year and will most likely be available in the fall. Not only do you not update your page. You also make stupid posts about shit you don’t know about. How about you make informed posts instead of just making shit up as you go?”

Let me apologize before I’m proven wrong, just in case I am proven wrong. Time will tell if the maximum size is increased. If it’s not, sorry.

Yes, I’m aware of Castlevania being big. I am also aware of Lumines Live being split into several pieces, and that was not received well.

I think that the mess that caused will be one of the reasons why the maximum size will be increased.

The only reason I can think of for Microsoft not to do this is that they leave the first-buyers (pioneers if you will) behind, as they can have max 64 MB memory sticks. I don’t think that argument is strong enough, though.

Besides from that, not much was lost to the ‘evil spam robot’. (c:

To my supporters:

No, idiots don’t deter me. They do waste my time (which could have been spent making tutorials) because I have to clean up.

But thank you all for supporting me! The incident did make me consider adding a sign-in system for commenting, but I’m not sure that would deter the little fucker. We’ll see if he comes back.

I guess the guy was pissed that I wasn’t providing free content he could smooch off for some class he couldn’t handle by himself. Maybe a teacher asked them to code something, and explain the code in class, and he was just ripping my tutorials off in want of a bigger brain. That’s the only reason for his behavior I can begin to presume. (c:
