Currently busy, MIX09 and Silverlight games

I have been quiet for a while now. This is due to a very busy schedule at work and privately. In the next couple of weeks I should be able to finish some of the things I’m working on at the moment and get back to developing Silverlight games! I mean, http://silverarcade.com is just around the corner, so I better hurry up.

Meanwhile, I’m looking forward to hear all the new Silverlight stuff from MIX09 and will try to follow the Scott Gu keynote live, if possible (the time fits really bad for me), else I need to see the recording, which I hope will be up very fast after it took place. If you didn’t knew it, you should be able to follow the keynotes live from here: http://live.visitmix.com

– Enjoy!

Game dev forum @ silverlight.net

If you haven’t seen it yet, there has been created a forum category for game development on the silverlight.net site. 

http://silverlight.net/forums/52.aspx

In the same forum category there has been created a forum dedicated to the upcoming site, http://silverarcade.com which will launch in the end of March 2009. 

This is a really great step in the right direction for Silverlight as a gaming platform. When Microsoft creates a forum like this on the official silverlight site, it tells me that they see silverlight as a serious platform for internet games in the future, which is really great in my ears.

Upcoming Silverlight game site – silverarcade.com

Over at Silverlight Games 101 Bill Reiss and some other guys have started or actually, are about to, start af new Silverlight game site similar to Miniclip.com.

The site should go live in March and I’m looking very much forward to this as I guess it will give the Silverlight game community a good place to show of their games and in turn put even more focus on Silverlight as a gaming platform.

The site currently doesn’t have any content and is only a splash screen with their new logo, but be sure to check out the site during March 2009.
