TSE 360?

by Ben Ewing · in General Discussion · 02/22/2006 (7:41 am) · 6 replies

Will GG sell TSE 360?
Will Indie developers be able to use it without a dev kit?
How expensive might it be?

Thanks In advance :)

The blog on pricing was removed, but I'll try to not make too many gross inaccuracies in memory.

The price for TSE 360 was $10,000 for an XB Live title. First, make your TSE game on a PC. If GG thinks it is a marketable title, they will help you go through the Microsoft process. They do not guarantee that MS will like your game or give you a green light to continue. If you get the green light, they will help you port it. You pay a certain amount of the $10,000 up front (I think it was $2000...but I can't recall). Then you pay towards it as your game is purchased on XBL until you have it paid off or it is removed from the lineup.

I think it was something like that. But my memory often core dumps and reduces anything I say to a meaningless pile of malarky.

Let's worry about making some good games with TSE first.

If it's THAT good then maybe you show it to GG. Otherwise chill a while, too many things are in play. TSE
needs to get production level 1st. Then worry about other things..

Obviously not playing Marble Blast Ulra on the 360 and reading news items here on GG.
