Last month, Microsoft made an abrupt turn existing Xbox One’s much-criticized policy on used games and internet connection.
announces gaming giant next concession: indie developers to publish their games all by themselves to the console.
Microsoft has had a tough summer with Xbox One. But having rejected his plans almost constant Internet connectivity and restrictions on used games has also swung opinion.
Many remains skeptical, especially those who love Indie game. For a long time it does not seem to be any on the Xbox One, as Microsoft has not said he would allow indie developers to self-publish their games to the console. Meanwhile, competitors Nintendo and Sony has been keen to point out that they had taken a diametrically opposite stance on the issue.
“Anyone can be creators”
Microsoft announces that it has fallen to little. Indie Developer may issue their games to Xbox One. Also, feel free to use the console to buy in store as development tool, something that had previously been reserved for specific so-called debugkonsoler.
– Our vision is that every person can also be a creator, says Microsoft’s Marc Whitten at Engadget. That every Xbox One can be used for development.
Not completely satisfied
It is obviously great news for indie developers. But they are still not completely satisfied. Microsoft’s provision, but are still the worst among the major console manufacturers.
– It sounds better than it actually is, claiming “Retro City Rampage” creator Brian Provinciano in an interview with Engadget. Although this is a good thing so you can not compare with what the other platforms offer.
“My most unfortunate time”
– On Playstation 4, developers can use every bit of ram and the console’s power. Indie Developers have access to all that the AAA studios, from platform to support the development and launch.
– What we learned about Xbox One is that on the whole, similar to Xbox Live Indie Games (a section designed for small indie games on Xbox 360, editor’s note). And of course, I have no interest in buying an Xbox One, or even develop games for it. When I worked with Microsoft (current release of “Retro City Rampage” for the Xbox 360), it was the most miserable time in my entire career.
