Whats up?

So I submitted a new GL patch last week- its not the final fix-all solution to the slow down problems but it will make things better in the meantime. And it will get GL back on the marketplace :P

Since then, I've started playing around with Avatars.. Yes thats right, another Avatar game coming to XBLIG! But I promise you this one will not be using those same four animations that everyone else has been sticking to ;) Anyway, I'm hoping for it to be a painless 2-3 month project. Fingers crossed!

Graffiti LIVE! is gone again!

After working fine for 4 days, some technical difficulties with Graffiti LIVE appeared JUST today and has broken the auto-sharing system- actually looks like an XBL issue BUT a patch is on the way to work around it.

It shouldn't take as long as this time to get it patched.


edit: OK it looks like everything is working again. I did end up pulling the game yesterday tho, so if you are looking for it and wondering where it went. :P Check back in a few weeks. The next patch should address the heavy slowdown when you accumulate 100+ drawings.

Graffiti LIVE! is back!

The patch has been approved and Graffiti LIVE is now available once again!
Get it on the Marketplace!

Thanks for your patience!

Whats new:

• fixed memory leak crash while drawing
• restructured the network distribution system, now should be alot more robust + reliable
• fixed the network session getting lost and having to restart

The Graffiti LIVE Patch

The latest patch is submitted and has been sitting in peer review for 2 weeks. It is 25%, the last time it incremented was 10 days ago. Right now its on the first page of the review queue, so hopefully people will review it soon..

If you are a creators club member, and wanna be a pal- heres the review link! http://bit.ly/bf6hOR

Patch Delay

Ok well, patch got rejected- It'll be another week to resubmit it, then another 1.5-2 weeks to see how far it gets.

Tip: If you are going to submit an XNA game, make sure your XBOX Guide code is solid, because thats pretty much the #1 thing they test for.

Patch submitted

Submitted as of yesterday morning. So now its time to play the peer review waiting game!
It'll probably be a week and a half i'm guessing?
