DOES BENNY REST SOMETIMES?

Wow, man, Benjamin Nitschke's on fire!

He's recently published a very long but yet helpful post about "Skeletal Bone Animation and Skinning with Collada Models in XNA". I wonder what happened with that "... The blog posts will not be as long as before ..." ;)

Is that it? Heck no!

Benny has recently announced that he will be attending this year GDC (March 5-9, San Francisco) and will be joining XNA's "Dream Team" so as to face the following superhuman XNA challenge: build a game at the conference!

Benny's idea: a Zelda-like multiplayer RPG. In 3-4 days? Yeap. I have only one question: are you out of your mind?!!! ... :)

Go Benny go!

"BULLET HELL TACTICS" ENTERS A LARGE COMPO

Yes, Kobingo's has announced that "Bullet Hell Tactics" game will join this year's Swedish Game Awards compo -Sweden's largest game development competition.

So, good luck!

XNA MATRIX'S ENTRY TO THE WARM-UP CHALLENGE

Yes, Will has revealed a teaser of his entry to the warm-up chalenge. So repeating his words, "If anybody is curious" just browse to this link to see a two-days old screenshot of the game.

Peronally, I have been working on my entry for only 3 days now from scratch, so I don't think I get it on time, but no matter what, I'll post my version of the Spacewar game when finished.

Cheers!
