Bugs as of Pre-Release Pre-Alpha Test:

• If you try to go outside of the map, you get an error
  

Microsoft Xna Redistributable:
You need this in order to run my game. I don't know why it does that, I find it very stupid you need it.
Once you install it, you won't need to install it again.

Author's Notes

Let me know any bugs or what I could improve on or add.

*Legal Bump*

Fixed a link. The redistributable wasn't working. Also added Planned Features.

Nice, I have tried XNA before, but never got into it. I do plan to start working on it again soon, i've always wanted my own xbox game lol. Don't let this project die! Just keep pushing on with development, as far as you can, you wont regret it.

The next update is coming along great!
Here's whats done.

NPC Currently non moving ones.
A basic show text command. However it doesn't dispose when it should.
A basic save system that saves your location.

Its needed because half of the function calls etc that you use arnt included with windows :D.

Just started dabbling in XNA myself, got a trial membership to the creators club from my Uni so making games for xbox :V

Sadly, I lost this project. Fortunatly I started it again. Haven't done much but I'm going to make everything smoother.

I'll be starting XNA next semester, we may be able to make this a joint project.

Sweet. I'll be looking forward to it, if at that time of course I'm not busy >__> Also I restarted the engine, I'm not satisfied with how things are going with this one. Anyways that'd be cool to team up with you!
