Tavishhill2003 is one of the acknowledged masters of Kodu set building. He has completely outdone himself. I pulled these screens from a fantastic new video up on the 'tube. Recommend you go see it there because there is some beautiful dynamic lighting...
We're all just sitting around, making games, talking about our incredibly exhilarating / exhausting weekend, and refreshing the peer revew status page every five minutes. It's currently at 66%. While we all sit around, taking notes, making games...

Click here for newer Kodu posts I'm doing final content passes as we get ready for release, which is the end of June. (Exact day TBD) Thought I'd snap this nice picture of one of the "old school" sample levels, Pandemica. I like the...
Just happened across this freeze-frame today and thought I'd share it. It's the cycle jumping and doing a crazy Alex pose while he's at it, and I just liked the silhouette. This image is also fun because of how many image effects it shows...
Getting ready for CHI panel on monday with mitch, scratch, ken, squeak, and much more. Here's a new screenshot. Talking to some press on the East Coast next week and baked them a fresh batch of screens. Here's the first..
