"WHICH VISUAL STUDIO VERSION WILL YOU USE?"

JoeN's asking "Which Visual Studio version will you use?".

From Joe's post: "... As we finish up the refresh release to XNA Game Studio Express, we are looking at the next major version and some decisions that need to be made. I wanted to get some impressions from people around a particular topic that I am currently looking at.

One of the major features we are planning to add in the next major version of XNA Game Studio Express is the ability to create games in all SKUs of Visual Studio (Express, Standard, Pro, etc).

Also, there's a thread on the Creator's site on this regard.

This is an important step in the future of XNA GSE, so c'mon and share your thoughts!

QUO VADIS CONFERENCE 2007

Head onto Benjamin Nitschke's blog to see some photos from this year's "Quo Vadis" Conference in Berlin, where Benny's showed off some of the XNA-based games he made (like the formerly called "XNA Racer" and GDC's "Dungeon Quest").

From Benny's post: "... There was not much interaction with the audience because most people had no questions, but I talked my way through it and I heard some positive feedback about XNA later ...".

Shy audience, ugh?
