10 years from announcement to release. But it's been on hold for a couple of years in the meantime.

Ok, ok. We did not only make 'mad Tracks' in two years.
First we developped all our tools. Both graphic and physic engines are our own. These will be used at least on three to four games we'll make.
Then we made two and a half Mad Tracks (Mad Tracks PC, Xbox360 and got pretty far on the PS2 version).
Last, we started working on ToW 4 months ago and it looks sleek already.
But sshhhhhhh...

Cheers,

ps: yes we did drink a little more than average - hence the Advil note...

ToW ?

"Things on Wheels" (working title).
I can only tell you it is intended to be on XBLA and it involves cars.
Cheers,
Denis.

What happened to the PS2 version? :P

I play the PS2 version sometimes when I'm nostalgic.
The working prototype is fine but we never manage to sell it to any publisher.
Oh well.

Cheers,

Denis, can you tell us what you think about XNA?

What it means to you as a developer. Do you think that a smaller dev house like yours will start to get problems with competition etc?

To be quite honest, competition is what we need.
On top of things, I get application year round of people looking for jobs or intership. This free tool is a great for them to get their demo and demonstrate their know how.

At Load Inc. we all started our carreers with free tools (or evaluation versions - not mentionning 'gray' tools - hum). It's good to see a major player giving a tool like XNA.
Regarding the tool itself, I just saw a quick presentation at Leipzig and we did not evaluate it inside yet (but everyone remembers we have a game to finish)...

Now everyone get back to work!!!
cheers,

Congratulations, even though its real late :D

it's never too late ;)
Thanks!!

maybe you should convert and sell your game engine similar to what Garage Games is doing with Torque X. Nope, wait, that would you distract you gents too much from making me more Live Arcade games. Everyone back to work indeed good sir :P

I'll get back to work figuring out how i can get visual studio express installed on my work computer ;)
