Please stand by - it's looking good, but no promises until the jury returns to the courtroom.
Woot!
WOOT... O Yaaaaaa
Hopefully it's good news.
excellent news, it's like waiting in the delivery room
Wahey! though I read in the other post it'll be 48 hours till release now... can that be confirmed?
WOOT?
Anyway I hope always is OK !
so peer review is complete but we still have no way of knowing if it was accepted and how long we have to wait till it comes out. man im getting impatient. xD
I'd agree with Zaruma. and bearing in mind microsofts Idea of a whole weekend ending on sunday midday (with the MJ download) I'm trying not to get my hopes up on a today release.
I'll try to wait patiently...
Can't waaaaait, have my fingers crossed
Maybe Darth can shed some more light on this, since he's an XNA premium member and is familiar with the peer review process.
whats the link to darths blog again?
Darth's blog = giveusthisdayourdailygame.blogspot.com
He's said a few times that after a game is submitted it can take a few min all the way to 48 hours to be posted.
He also gave an example of a game being peer review complted at 6:25am today and then being posted for us to download at 10:00am
So we probably have a few hours to wait... depending on when it was finished
giveusthisdayourdailygame.blogspot.com
So, if it passes the review then the original 48-hour estimate was pretty spot-on.
sweet. thanks Moco64 :)
Matt can't you weild some of your power and push it along a bit faster?
So does that mean it comes out today? or in 48 hours? All the gaming news sites say it comes out today but that doesn't look true.
Nope. He goes through the same process as everyone else.
I know, it was tongue in cheek
I went ahead and made a message board/forum @ http://www.kodu.moco.net feel free to register and post, Its still a work in progress and I'm taking any ideas for categories and anything else.
Also, the 360 gamertag: Kodu Gameshare
has 23 friends already, some are pending requests, I'll accept anyone as long as they are getting kodu. You can also look at it's friends list for easy access to other kodu players.
Thanks to Darthuvius for his informative blog @ giveusthisdayourdailygame.blogspot.com , and spuz.
Can't wait for the game!!!
Rammstein... Moco just gave a situation where an XNA community was released about 3 1/2 hours after passing the review.
Spuz...Yeah I see that now thanks.
Hi Moco -- I am running one of the alpha/early academic kodu programs ( http://koduclub.org/ )
Nice job on the forum going up so soon. I also own koduclub.com and .net
Do you want a subdomain to point to your forum? no need in duplicating your forum work, but I'd be willing to cover that part if you guys want it.
forum.koduclub.com ? or
forums.koduclub.com?
-Scott
Moco... Is there any way to get rid of the 'www' on the forum? It would make more sense if it was just kodu.moco.net.
Hey Moco, I'm a graphic designer working almost exclusively on websites. If you want me to grab the site files and schnazz up the home page at all, I can do that. Shouldn't take long to get something going that looks tight, and then you can focus on getting the forums started. Teamwork, right? :D Let me know.
And Scott, I think that's awesome that you'd be willing to offer a premium domain name like that! I'd go for it, Moco.
You guys are great!! I can't wait to download it already! ARGH! Haha!
i think its really awesome how every one is really coming together on this. a friendly community is really gonna get this game on its feet!
wait4kodu, you took the words right out of my mouth, can't believe how this game is already fostering a great sense of community.
Can I download it from Portugal?
Thanx's!
Seriously! I've been chatting on XBL with Zaruma about some levels we want to make, and WE JUST MET! Haha! I'm so excited to collaborate on projects. :D
Scott (squibell) That would be great , whatever you decide if fine forum or forums .koduclub.com . Thanks so much!
and Spuz, yea kodu.moco.net works as well as http:// , or www. But you can just type in kodu.moco.net and it will work. So far theres 29 friends on the Kodu Gameshare gamertag and 7 registered people on the forums.
Dakkon, I'll send you a message via live. Thanks
Oh please pass review. I'm itching to start test just how creative one can be with Kodu
yeah its a great thing! i just cant wait to contribute. i have worked on plenty of other game making systems and this seems to be the most promising. allCingeye (gamertag) add me!
Hope everything goes smooth with the release, I've been looking forward to Kodu since it was announced. Feel free to add me too. Gamertag is Kellerstein.
NovaXz (gamertag) Add away!
It's been approx 3 1/2 hours since review was completed, how much longer does it take?
Moco -
great, I have no preference. I believe I'll need you to send me your host info so I can point the subdomain to your host. go ahead and send me a private email on this site (click on my name) with that and I'll take care of it later tonight as I'm going to a work function presently.
very nice guys...
HAHA! I love how all of us are itching to get it, and we're counting the hours. I reeally hope it doesn't take all day. I already have about 11 games I want to make to practice with the interface. That's not to mention some original ideas I had specifically for Kodu.
ok. im dying here.
I'm sure Kodu is going to inspire a lot of original ideas, but it's going to be fun to see peoples take on excisting games.
I'm starting to twitch with withdrawal symptoms and I haven't even played it yet
Yes! I have a distraction. My little brother needs to be picked up from school. You know what that means?? That's right, I won't have to wait in agony for a little while. I know it's only a little reprieve, but I sure hope it's available by the time I get back! ;P
@Lee Yeah, I want to recreate some classics and see how Kodu handles the programming. Stay tuned, and I'll be sure to show you which ones I'm developing. That is... When Kodu is actually out. Lol!!
im sure there is gonna be hundreds of mario remakes!! lol
yeah, in a half hour im just gonna distract myself for a couple of hours.
Hopefully we'll get it before thursday :(
sure we'll get it today, don't see why not
I noticed that there were no Kodu groups on Facebook, so I took the liberty of creating one.
www.facebook.com/group.php
Feel free to join.
If anyone that's professionally associated with the game would like to join, just identify yourself and I will bump you up to Admin.
Can't wait, should be any time now. Also so gamer tags enoop feel free to add and kodu together.
But then, where could we download the game for PC since some people don't have a 360? Microsoft said that it would be available for both 360 and PC, but I don't know WHERE to download the game when it officially releases. I'm pretty sure that a website will say that Kodu will soon be available for download, but I could not find the news ANYWHERE on ANY website that has to do with a Kodu download for PC. If any of you know where to download Kodu for PC, please post.
Well they did say it would be released today if it passes the review, they wouldn't say that if it took another 48hrs to upload it would they? seems a little dumb if they did lol.
Can't wait
gamers unite, in one of the post it addresses the issue. they said it will release for xbox and then some time after (none specified) it will come out for pc use. luckily you can interface a 360 controlled to a computer!
@crazysheep: They said in an earlier post that if it got approved today then it would be out by thursday. You would think Microsoft would actually want to put out their own game.
Here's hoping Matt comes back with an update....Matt???
Yep, it's looking like Thursday, i think most of us were hoping that when Matt said the earliest it could be was Tuesday, that it would be tuesday, but it's not looking good.
Just relax, people. Some of you are starting to get worked-up over nothing.
If it was rejected then it won't be released for another week at the earliest, so there's no use getting impatient over a few hours to a few days. We won't know anything until he confirms if it is approved or not, at which point it's a matter of a few hours from what's been said earlier in the comments.
Ummmm... Matt?
Do you think you might have a release date for the computer version, and maybe some system requirements? Or is it just going to be released to educators and people of that group? I can't really get an XBOX, but I really want to have Kodu. I program in my spare time, and this game seems like a blast.
Thanks
@lee6370: It still could be tonight or wednesday. Hopefully we'll atleast get an update tonight though
Hi guys, I'm waiting for more info too. Microsoft is a big company. I've got a few conflicting reports so I don't want to stir the pot too much until I've got a solid resolution.
waiting4kodu, luckily I do have a Xbox 360 controller for my PC. I just got it for Microsoft Flight Sim 10 a while back. (it works perfectly!) Thanks for the info! :)
Cheers Matt, thanks for the update. We'll all just have to learn to be patient.
Yep, thanks Matt
thats cool i got an extra one for the pc a while back. (works great for emulators)
Thanks for the news, cant be long now till the full news of the review is out and we will see when we will get kodu.
im so impatient
Learn to be patient? No way!
You're not giving Kodu to us, give it to us FASTER!
;p
you're not the only one D:
Im also impatient, however, i live in sweden and here we have no community games... emailed this author and asked if/when we will get it but no reply. thanx alot
@theonlyix2: How funny, cos I'm from Sweden ( 08-FTW! ).
I live in California however. But how will you get Kodu if you don't have Comunnity Games?
theonlyix2... im sure he and the team are extemely busy and he will get back you. no need for rudeness!
Yeah, extremely busy not giving us Kodu *flameflame*. ;)
It's cool though cos I can't remember last time I was this excited about a "game" release!
waiting4kodu, sure, it was like a couple of weeks ago(if thats enough).... im not being rude, just pointing out the obvious fact with alot of MS that when an answer isnt a positive one, its easier to bury your head in the sand and hope the problem goes away.
Its no mystery that PS3 are gaining ground in Europe as MS obviously doesnt care for some markets here.
The Tem : nice! Where from? Jag fårlaskapa ett nytt konto ;)
The Tem, didnt see your "08" .. lolz
Skaune FTW =)
lol yeah i know i cant wait... but i must and i trust that the good folk working on kodu are doing everything they can to get us the game. they have labored over it for some time and i think you can rest assured they want people to enjoy it as soon as possible. so just hold on a bit and it will be here. they always say a watched pot never boils!
theonlyix2, thats a shame then, hopefully microsoft will get their act together in the european market, they have a great product to offer.
theonlyix2, no offence, but i work in a office where i get 75-100 emails a day, if i took the time to answer each and every one of them i'd get nothing else done.
I have no idea how many Matt or his team get from people like you and me, but i'd guess it's more then i get a day, so lets cut the guy some slack, first and formost he has a job to do and with all due respect explaining to you while the community channel isn't available in Sweden isn't one of them.
I really hope Kodu comes out today. :(
argg sat on xbox.com marketplace waiting for any signs of kodu :(
I'll end up sitting on the dashboard till the early hours of the morning no doubt :(
Yeah same here.
I doubt PS3 is gaining ground due to lack in MS support.
Some say PS3 is gaining ground due to InFamous, but that's to be debated. The PS3 sales have dropped in Japan and Sony's E3 stuff had nothing on MS and Natal. The only "console" that had an increase in sales (as of may 2009) was actually the DS. Even though it might be "gaining ground" the total sales figures in the us shows Xbox360 has 15.2 million sold units vs. PS3's 7.7 million.
I still like the path that microsoft has in plan for the Xbox360 (with last.fm and the online video game store and all that) better. I mean, the Xbox has (mostly) all the games PS3 does, and a whole bunch more. You could just hear the gasps and the grinding of PS3 fanboys teeth when Kojima announced Metal Gear is coming to the 360.
Ooh, that's an idea; Metal Gear Kodu... I call dibs on that one!!! =D
But I digress. *sigh* I just want my Kodu...
2 people on twitter are saying kodu did pass the peer test
search.twitter.com/search
You took my mind off Kodu for a minute with that comment...
...then the thought comes back to me :(
The Tem, PS3 aint selling on games im sure! But i have friends who didnt see any advantage of playing their COD4 (i know, theyre stoopid =) ) on xbox live, so they sold their boxes and bought PS3;s because -playstation is playstation. As you probably know coming from here, its a VERY strong brand here, but most of the games are not (some few excluded).
People see that the PS3 has the advantage of bluray (which imho isnt really an advantage) and buy it.
Last.FM, facebook, twitter might give X a little advantage but im having trouble seeing people buying Xboxes JUST for this over the bluray option.
NATAL will change it though.....
Enough PS3 here now, i loathe that thing.
Just bring us Kodu NOW! =)
Microsoft: "You've got questions. We've got dancing paperclips."
Iron donkey ; LMAO
