Hi! My name is David Amador and I’ll be in charge of xna7day from now on. Nick Gravelyn handed me xna7day in order to keep it alive because it was getting hard for him to maintain this due to professional reasons.
The idea isn’t to make any radical change and same rules still apply (see them here), being the bottom line making xna games in 7 days with a theme or rule.
The email for sending the entries/ideas/help is still contact@xna7day.com
Is anyone interested in starting this weekend? I know it’s kind of over time but if there’s someone please let me know. If not we shall regain the normal cycle on 31/01/2010
Suggestions for themes/rules are appreciated.

What about games with avatars and other restriction?

Thanks for the tip but that is going to restrict people who doesn’t have a creator’s club account or gold for testing the games. Simple ideas or things like “your game must be underwater” and stuff like that usually works good.
Btw U from Portugal? I saw that your email is from there.

ah nice:D Its good to know that someone looks at my code:P
I’ve already visited your site, I always know that for was more efficient that foreach, but now I now how much:D Thanks=D
I’m really enjoy what you are doing with your engine and level editor. I’m making a 2D Game Engine too and I’m looking for new ideas. I want to talk about it soon, but for now I’ll participate in XNA7Day contests to put it on test and to find some bugs. But I’m just in beginning of development.
Thanks for keep this contest alive:D
