 |
|
As usual it's all top secret and nobody really knows what's going on - closed platforms, aren't they great  However, there is a lot of talk/rumour that the XBLA honeymoon is over. Apparently Microsoft are getting tired of developers taking up too much time and resources getting through Quality Control (or certification testing as its known). This makes sense as Microsoft only have so many testers to go around and obviously would prefer to focus on the mainstream titles that generate more revenue. Remember that every game not only needs seriously intense testing by 10's of people for 100's of hours, but that testing needs duplicating in all the languages you have to support. Now, the developer does pay something towards this, but it still costs Microsoft a lot and splits their resources.
The upshot appears to be they'd much rather you work through a 3rd party publisher and if you do then they'll continue to pay the ~70% royalty (to the publisher). Microsoft only works with well established publishers with lots of cash so it knows they can afford to pay for proper testing and localisation of their own, relying far less on Microsoft's own test people.
If you insist on dealing with Microsoft then you move onto a sliding scale royalty that is rumoured to go as low as 35%. The justification being this allows Microsoft to spend the time getting it tested and localised properly without losing money. So the lone developer who doesn't want to give his IP and 70% of his money to a publisher can deal with Microsoft and avoid all the certification bills by giving ~65% of the sales away. Ouch. Allegedly.
Apparently Microsoft are pushing small developers towards XNA where they avoid certification and localisation testing completely (the community does it for free via ratings). They've also promised to let XNA developers charge for their games, but have hinted the allowed prices will be much lower than XBLA.

Sadly everyone is gagged by NDA's so the truth will never be known. The conclusion (if this is true) could be that the amateur-indies will all move into XNA and the pro-indies will look for first party status (sometimes sony/microsoft/nintendo are so impressed with a demo they publish it directly and waive all/some costs) by courting them at the IGF and then if they fail they'll fall into the welcoming arms of a friendly publisher. Of course it depends on Sony and Nintendo too, I don't know how much they charge for testing and localisation. The rumour is Sony is very expensive and Nintendo is quite cheap.
Is this the end of console indie joy? Is XNA the answer to an indie's prayers? Watch the skies!
p.s. I noticed the Eets people at GDC saying the absolute minimum cost to get an xbla game out is $125k. |

For those that read this earlier when it was posted and have not been following up, guess what.....
Microsoft announced that you can sell your XNA based games on their Community XNA Store (coming in Christmas 2008) for up to $10 per game and KEEP 70% of the profits. That's right, no up-front fees other than being a $99/year member of XNA Creators Club, and you can sell any game you make (assuming people buy it.) You do have to pass through a community review process but so far most everything has passed, and quickly.
It's a good thing I've been working with XNA for 2 years now. Now it's time to get some games ready for sale. 
Poo Bear, if you guys are looking for a partner in XNA land shoot me a email. |

Cher, je suis officiellement Supreme Jacket Femmes au travail et je travaille vraiment.
Je travaille à la China Merchants Bank. Je me lève tous les Hoodies Supreme à vendre Gris Noir Blanc2018 Vente chaude matins à 7 heures et je prends un bus pour aller travailler à 8 heures. J'ai parcouru un Supreme Shorts Real Gris NoirDe gros chemin chaque jour et j'ai vécu la même chose. Je pense beaucoup de Sac à dos supreme blancPas cher en vente choses dans les 40 minutes dans le bus tous les jours. La vie est vraiment magnifique.
Je me suis toujours dit Supreme Polo Manches Longues Blanc Noir RougePas cher en ligne que je ne voulais pas rester à Dongguan et que je ne resterais pas à Houjie. Je ne veux pas être très disposé à rester dans cette petite ville. En conséquence, je reste maintenant dans cette petite ville en tant que petit membre du personnel d’une banque. Ce n'est pas une compilation à l'intérieur, juste un travailleur temporaire. Rien n'est impossible.
Une phrase dit: "Nous finirons par Pantalon suprême CamoPas cher en ligne devenir celui que nous détestons le plus."
Plus une personne est grande, plus elle sent qu'il a un rêve et que Sweat à capuche Stussy les gens sont toujours heureux de réaliser leurs rêves. La vie a le but de lutter.
Je veux vivre simple et simple, le bonheur familial est très bon.
Cependant, une idée aussi simple Supreme X Champion Camo à manches longuesEn ligne à vendre est en effet la plus difficile à réaliser ou, en fait, je n'ai pas essayé de réaliser cette idée.
Je me dis souvent que mes parents sont les Femmes Chemise Simpsons suprêmePas cher en ligne personnes les plus importantes de ma vie. Qu'elles puissent être heureuses ou non, c'est ma considération première, Stussy Femmes Snapback Noir et Blanc mais j'ai admis plus d'une fois que je n'ai pas dit que je les aimais. Je suis arrogant par eux!
Pour en revenir au travail de Houjie, la maison est la raison la plus importante. Stussy Vêtements Femmes Les larmes de ma mère sont les plus insupportables pour moi à cause de ma détresse ou parce que je suis bouleversée.
Mes parents se disputaient encore de temps en Stussy X Supreme Chemise Deux CouleursDe gros temps. Quand je rentrais chez moi pour travailler, il semblait que mon père était sensé. Je ne me souciais pas beaucoup de ma mère, Lancement de la dernière fleur de Stussy Rose mais le tempérament de mon père n’a pas été modifié pendant un moment, Stussy Long Sleeves Bugs Bunny pour pas cher la tristesse et le cœur de ma mère me préoccupent toujours beaucoup et mon inaction est la plus irritante. Femmes Vestes Suprêmes En tant que fille, j'ai contribué au bonheur de cette famille. La vie de ma mère, je pense souvent aux larmes. Un homme peut vraiment changer la vie d'une femme, ou la sublimer Stussy Windbreaker Black pas cher à vendre ou la gâter.
J'aime toujours mon père, aussi bon soit-il, je sais toujours qu'il me fait mal. Après ma sortie de travail, mon humeur était encore plus grise, fatiguée, Stussy X Visvim Pants pas cher à vendre laborieuse et les divers fardeaux de la famille. Je ne sais toujours pas comment rendre mes parents heureux. Tout le désagrément est imaginé, il est causé par soi-même, une bonne attitude peut définitivement changer la vie, allez, bon!
Je pense à Qiu Zefeng. Je me souviens que quand j'étais malade, il achetait de la bouillie pour moi en classe. Chaque jour, je prenais des cours en classe. Les piqûres de moustiques vont m'aider à rattraper les moustiques. Quand j'ai froid, j'aime Femmes à manches longues suprême bien m'envelopper dans mon manteau. Tu me manques d'avoir ses vêtements essuyer mon nez quand je pleure. Vraiment heureux, je sais qu'il m'a vraiment aimé à cette époque.
Un jour, je te donnerai tout l'amour que j'ai appris de sa part, Stussy Shorts Femme Noir Pas Cher En Promo mon cher. Il est également heureux d'aimer quelqu'un. Je ne semble pas vraiment l'aimer. Quand le Stussy Shorts Camo pas cher en solde destin viendra-t-il?
Le travail sera normalisé le mois prochain. Tout sur le lieu de Sortie Suprême travail est inexplicable, je peux seulement dire qu'il est naturel d'aller directement au pont. Je sens toujours que chaque fois que je le suis, je suis méprisé. Tout dans la vie est la richesse, je dois travailler dur. Ressentir.
Le sentiment d'écrire un journal est bon, Stussy X Champion Logo Pantalon Noir Pas Cher à Vendre l'écriture et la pensée vont pleurer, puis remonter le moral, l'esprit et le cœur. Cher, j'espère que vous devez être une personne ensoleillée spéciale. Stussy Pants Womens Grey Pas Cher à Vendre Je vais vous comprendre, vous aimer, prendre soin de vous et aimer tout ce Stussy Chemises Womens Blanc Dernier lancement que la vie donne.
Travailler dur, lutter, travailler dur! Tant Supreme Jacket CamoDe gros que les gens travailleront Maillot Playboy Supreme XDe gros dur et travailleront dur, il y aura toujours une place! ! ! ! |
