FX COMPOSER 2 OFFICIALLY RELEASED!!!

Hi, folks! Just a quick note: FX Composer 2 has been officially released today. Finally!!!

For those who may not know what FXC2 is -if there's someone out there who doesn't know about this great tool yet- browse to this website and read on and or watch this video:

BTW, guess which language was used to build this version of the tool ... yes, you can say it, don't be shy ... c# ... isn't it great?!

See ya.

HELLO WORLD!

After many weeks of being unplugged I have "almost" returned to the XNA community. As you can imagine from my previous post, I have been very busy lately.

Having moved to my new home now -which has been and still is experiencing an extreme make over (I mean it, all over)- getting my new DSL connection from the local ISP (finally) and fighting with my main desktop computer -meaning, my 64bit processor has passed away, sigh!-, I have managed to get online once again and join you guys in the excitement of knowing in the following weeks who will be chosen for the final round to win the DBP contest.

By now, I'm using my wife's computer to check the news, so don't expect too many posts until I get a new processor.

Anyway, so much to read, new content, v2 coming out these holidays, so let's start.

BTW, thanks to all of you who congratulated me for getting married either by posting a comment on this blog a/o sending me a private message to my email address ... ;)

Now, back to my ultracave ... Pete's out ...

I'M GETTING MARRIED IN THE MORNING ...

... as the song goes ... well, actually, not tomorrow but this Friday 25th.

Yeap! After many years of being the last man standing, the ultraplayer, the ultrabachelor, ... or at least in my dreams ... my fiancee Andrea and I have decided to say "yes, I do". The big step ...

Thus, as you may suppose I -in fact we both- have been (and still are) dealing with all the details of the wedding day, party, honey moon these days -plus a "extreme make over" of my near future home- so that's why I may have seemed a bit "distant" to the self-proclaimed task of reporting XNA-related news. Sorry about that, but you know, I've been really busy ... real life ... responsibilities ...

So what does this mean for my blog? Only that I'll be out for the next 4 or 5 weeks, so in the meantime, until I come back, don't worry 'cause you can count on Mykres and Ziggy.

Thanks guys for supporting this site and see you all when I get back. I need some vacation ...

BTW, I cannot go without giving some breaking news: we're all aware of the already released (Benny's) and 3 upcoming books on XNA (check Ziggy's site), but there are two new books to add to that latter list:

• Microsoft XNA Unleashed (Hardcover), and
• Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Xna Game Studio Express in 24 Hours: Complete Starter Kit.

Ok, guys, see ya.

Pete's out!
