I've been pretty busy lately, chugging away at Castle Crashers. It's finally starting to shape up, thanks to Tom's awesome gameplay and Dan's crazy art. Check out the shot I've attached -- it's only a tiny bit of the world map!

I came across this today, and I thought I'd pass it around. If you're a student, check this out:

Microsoft DreamSpark

Free and legit Microsoft development software, including Visual Studio! I hope some of you programmers out there will find this really useful. It also includes a subscription to the XNA Creators Club, which lets you build games onto your Xbox 360.

It's a shame that Office isn't included. Of course, Office + college students is probably one of Microsoft's biggest cash cows.

So the world map is similar to Mario?
That looks neat, I doubt color has been included yet?

Sweet. That game will be epic. I want to buy a 360 just for that game.
You guys are doing some great work.

looks good so far, & hope it goes well :P

Given that the XNA membership is a $100 a year otherwise, it's a fantastic incentive for students. Nice find!

Looks awesome!

How old must one be to be considered "a student".

The world map looks sooo cool!!
I love the random drowning dear!

They're GIVING AWAY Visual Studio???

cool! and dreamspark is a cool name ^^

will it be on newgrounds as well as 360?

Thanks for the info! I'm going to try now.

By the way, students can get Office extremely cheap now. Microsoft has The Ultimate Steal where college students can get Office Ultimate for only $60. It's at <a href="http://www.theultimatesteal.com">http://www.theultimatesteal.com</a>

this is a brilliant find

....how did you get in his house...Magic?

And is that a reindeer-fish?

is it a 2 player please get back to me because l really want to get it!

'The Ultimate Steal"? use OO.o
I'm not an awesome coder, but I have a hard time considering anything "visual" "professional-level".
