After announcing not only that Xbox One would support indie games, but that Microsoft had 32 studios lined up and working on them already, ID@Xbox’s director Chris Charla has told us that Xbox One owners can expect the first indie titles in the ID@Xbox scheme to arrive around the end of Q1 2014.
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.
" According to Charla, the end goal for ID@Xbox is to have every player in the world capable of making their own game, whatever their ability: “That’s [players] at all levels,” he says, “from coding a game in C++, to someone who can’t code at all using something like Project Spark.” "
So it seems they'll have toolsets aside from Project Spark to create games for wanna be game designers who don't know coding?! Wow, that's amazing!
I don't think enough stuff is releasing in march. /s
Godspeed Microsoft, Godspeed.
Man, Microsoft really stepped it up with the games for the new gen. The game lineup we have and had at launch is so amazing.
Good job chris..good job.
