Some weeks ago I came by Jeff Webers (aka Farseer Games) small game "We Are Bugs". I thought about if this game could be easially ported from browser Silverlight to a Windows Phone app in Silverlight. It turned out that it was VERY easy to do actually. Next up I wanted to challenge myself a little, so I set the goal to port "We Are Bugs" to XNA too. This part was actually also surprisingly easy and lucky for you - I put that whole thing on Github (as I'm also playing around with Github these days). So go grab the source from Github and see how a Silverlight game could look in XNA.  

I have been hooked in Windows Phone from the first time I saw it. I have a LG Optimus 7 now, which I bought for about a year ago. This phone has been my primary phone (only phone) for the last year - and I still like it :) In the summer I started searching for a danish site about Windows Phone. Apparently there wasn't any community/news site for Windows Phone users in Denmark. So, I started it :) In June I started a new danish community site - WindowsPhoneFan.dk Eventhough the site is relatively new and Windows Phone isn't that know in Denmark these days, WindowsPhoneFan.dk is seeing greatly increasing trafic week by week.  It's amazing! It's always cool when people are liking what you do, and apparently 4-500 people like the site so much that they visit it everyday - so I'm happy. Hopefully more people will join as Windows Phone gets more known in Denmark, as right now, it's mostly the nerds knowing about it. :)

I first heard of this little "framework/engine/template/starterkit"-thing some months ago - ScriptTD. ScriptTD is basically a template for a Tower Defense Game for Windows Phone, that you can change (pretty much actually) just by editing XML files.   The project is done in XNA and I have played around with it little now and it's really great. It's amazing how much you can change and how different you can make the game just by editing XML. ScriptTD is open source, so if you know XNA and want to make a Tower Defense Game, ScriptTD should be your starting point. I just submittet a small game I made (with help from family members for sounds and graphics). The game is called "Frost Defense" and will be in the Marketplace in the coming weeks (I hope :) I'll write about it when it's ready to download). So, if you want to make a Tower Defense Game for Windows Phone - you should take a look at ScriptTD at Codeplex.com.

Back in February 2011, we submitted ‘plan bee’ to a Danish Windows Phone 7 competition organized by Microsoft. The results are here now… [More]

Yesterday we – RambukGames - announced a little Windows Phone 7 game, plan bee, which we have been working on for some time now. This is what we have been talking about on twitter for the last couple of weeks! More...

Really, this doesn’t only apply to your designer, but to anybody other than the developers coding the game. Let me explain the problem we had in RambukGames and how we solved it. More...

If you, like me, think that Windows Phone 7 will be the next-big-thing and you want to be a part of it as a game developer. You better hurry up and get over to the guys at http://creators.xna.com. They have released a new set of samples that will help you learn how to create games for Windows Phone 7. [More]
