Has anyone used it yet? I am deep into C# development and thinking of using it as a great starting point for a game.

Re: XNA RPG Starter Kit
it is actually pretty kewl, much is already done, just got to change graphics and add your own features and such. I am thinking of changing the xml for SQL though. Still digging through source.

Re: XNA RPG Starter Kit
Yeah, I have never been a fan of XML, really. For data storage, I prefer either SQL or a document storage like Mongo, and for data passing, I prefer JSON. Obviously the latter was not available for as long as XML was, but today I really think JSON trumps it in pretty much every way.

Re: XNA RPG Starter Kit
That is interesting! I wonder how well his source-to-source compiler holds up when other people start using it in ways maybe he didn't think of, like perhaps the module pattern, or exotic JS inheritance patterns. JS is a pretty tough language to model to traditional C-style languages

Re: XNA RPG Starter Kit
agreed and I have noticed with XNA nearly anything you build is large in filesize and currently the compiler compiles and loads everything first. HTML5 would be a better choice for a browser RPG.
