I already posted about an interesting interview with Scott Henson, Microsoft's Game Technology Group Director, by Kikizo last week. Today the guys at shacknews.com released their GDC interview with the man. Here's an excerpt:
To demonstrate what can be done with XNA, Henson showed me a couple small game demos. First up was a version of the traditional game Mahjong. The game's author originally wrote the game for cell phones using Microsoft's C# language, and with XNA was able to get it running on Windows with the Xbox 360 within a day with "100% code reuse." He was then apparently able to port it to Xbox 360 without a developer kit, starting one morning and finishing by the afternoon. In a few more days, an artist and a shader programmer added a bevy of visual effects to make the game more on par with other 360 casual games; the improved 360 game was then able to be rebuilt instantly to run on Windows.
