Got a game in you, trying to get out?

Oooh, that can be nasty. XBox Live Indie Games could be just what you're looking for. XNA is a complete framework from Microsoft of low-no cost tools for developing your own games for Windows and the Xbox 360.

The XNA-UK User Group is your chance to meet & hear from like-minded XNA indie games developers from across the UK. Not only can you pick up tips on to how to write your game, but also how to win fortune & glory (although not necessarily in that order) by publishing it to the world via XBox Live Indie Games on the Xbox 360.

The User Group has never been busier, but we are moving this site's content over the next few weeks. So...

Please head over to XNA-UK.net here for the latest information on the group & for details of upcoming meetings

Meetings are generally held on the 1st Wednesday of each month. They last for 2 hours and the all important Pizza break is included in the membership fee.

Meetings cover a wide range of topics and we always try to have something suitable for beginners, as well as those with intermediate or advanced skill levels & knowlege.

Typical topics include: Game Architecture Sounds & Music AI Techniques Vertex & Pixel shaders 3D Modellers & Modelling The Publishing Process

There's also an opportunity for you to show us what you've been up to, or maybe ask for some advice about something you're working on or even just planning.
