It's been a while since my last post.
The reason: right now I'm struggling with the final stage of a project for a client which I must end in less than a month, so I don't have time left to write about anything. Otherwise, this is going to become a "60-day" month ... ;)
Just go an see this trailer at GameTrailers.com which uses DirectX's newest technology ...
Now, back to work!

GCG'S NEW ARTICLE: MICRSOFT XNA PRIMER
The Game Career Guide has published an article about XNA which briefly explains what is all about with XNA.
Also, the article mentions some of the sites of the XNA community as well as includes interviews to Julien Ellie (Software Design Engineer - XNA Team), Joe Nalewabau (Project Manager Architect - XNA Team), Benjamin Nitschke (creator of 'Rocket Commander' and 'XNA Racer') and Alex Okafor (developer of 'WildBoarders', "a physics based 2D snowboarding game that recently won the first XNA development competition at xbox360homebrew.com").

SHARKY'S AIR LEGENDS BATTLES XNA COLLISION DETECTION ...
Sharky has published "XNA Collision Detection for 3D models - Part 1". The first article of a two part series where he tells from a "code warrior" experience the path he has being following so as to implement a precise yet robust collision detection system in his game: Air Legends.
This is an interesting read since it's a common problem developers face when dealing with collision as rotating AABB -in case you decide to go this way- could bring performance issues, possibly leading in the end to the use of other techniques like bounding spheres (i.e.: read the comments on this post).
I cannot wait for a new release of Air Legends (and the radar), one of the first games that were and are still in development using XNA ... and of course, fun to play too ... ;)
