Xbox curling game

There are little extras as well, including eight unlockable awards and 20 different curling badges you can earn for good and bad shots. Was the timing intentional or just a happy accident? BF: When I originally started development, I figured I might be able to get it ready for the launch of the [Xbox Live Indie Games] service circa November , which was pretty naive looking back.

There is a lot of behind-the-scenes work that needs to be completed for the game to be robust and pass through the XBLIG review process, and it can take a while to work it all out. Fortunately, there is strong community support on the creators. Then, I decided to add online multiplayer, delaying the game by another few months. I switched my release date to last fall, hoping to catch the start of the curling season, but that didn't work out so well either. The last few months the target release date switched to whenever it's ready.

It was just luck that it ended [up] being released right in the middle of the Olympics. GS: For viewers who might be seeing curling for the first time on the Olympic broadcasts, what do they need to know about the sport? What separates the great teams from the rest? BF: Curling is a strategic game.

My advice would be to ignore the throwing and sweeping and yelling aspects of the game at first and focus on the strategy involved. Most people see curling and think it's easy, but it's a lot harder physically than it looks.

I think great curling teams need to be able to roll with the punches, as every stone has the potential to totally change who has the advantage. It's very similar to chess, where you need to plan ahead but still have a solid backup plan. There is also a rumor that checkered pants make you sweep harder, but I can't confirm that.

BF: I need to finish renovating my bathroom. It has been ripped apart since January, and my wife's patience is at an end. I'll definitely work on another game, though I'm not sure what yet. If there isn't enough of a player base to be able to readily find matches, I'll probably drop it from my next game.

One of the biggest advantages of [the] Xbox Live Indie Games service is that game genres and concepts that no studio would touch will find a voice.
