GI:In this video interview, the director of independent developers at Xbox explains the new ID@Xbox program and why he hopes it will attract gamers and developers to the Xbox One.
Today, during the Guerrilla Collective show, ID@Xbox director Chris Charla provided some insight about Microsoft's plans for indie developers and next-gen.
This is critical in getting as many games as possible despite what some say about indie devs. The more the merrier.
During a panel at PDXCon 2019, Microsoft senior director of ID Productions Chris Charla talked about Xbox Game Pass and how games are selected for it.
"Just yesterday Paraxox Interactive announced Crusader Kings III, mentioning that it’ll be on Xbox Game Pass for PC on day one when it releases in 2020"
Nice, not bad for a service that doesn't support the developer.
I just dl and tried Dead Cells and it's seriously some of the best fun I've had with a game.
Tried this service on the PC... unfortunately the dam app was always giving error when starting to download a game.
Never had problems with other PC game launchers (Steam, Epic, Uplay, etc).
Thats obvious. Isnt that what a rental service is. I used to rent movies all the time i never would of bought or seen. Duh
really enjoyed hellblade and Blair witch stories. I never tried hell blade when it was on ps4 mainly due to not being sold on it, but trying it for free + my gold subscription well worth it, amazing game. Blair witch was also a pleasant surprise with a pretty good story.
ID@Xbox senior director Chris Charla discusses Project Scarlett, along with more general topics such as the impact of subscription services and consolidation on independent developers, and thoughts on the wider game curation debate.
Xbox One is doing everything right in trying to get the best games on it's system.
This is just one of those steps. Can't wait to see what these developers can turn out with a Xbox One that can be a dev kit and the inclusion of Kinect.
Xbox One, Day one!

I like how Indies are getting a focus. My net worry is these companies do not over populate the indie space (like what ios and android have done)
I wonder if Microsoft is allowing indie developers to develop X1 apps as well as games. With every X1 being a dev kit that means every developer will have open access to Kinect and I think there is a lot of potential there for some interesting apps as well.
oh, the hypocrisy...
now watch as the xbox fanboys praise indie devs after they've been ****ting on them (and sony, for having the best support for indie devs) since gamescom.
I'm guessing cash and hookers. Am I right?
I thought Xbox fans didn't want Indie. After E3 and Gamescom, there was moaning at Sony for all those arty, small games.
