Xbox Live developer interviews

[Paul Acevedo]

At WPCentral I've had the pleasure of interviewing several WP7 Xbox Live developers. I thought I'd post them in one thread to make them easier to find:

• Babaroga, makers of Zombies!!!
• Press Play, makers of Tentacles and Max & the Magic Marker
• Pixelbite, makers of Hydro Thunder GO
• GameHouse, makers of Doodle Jump and Sally's Salon
• PopCap, makers of Plants vs. Zombies
• Microsoft Game Studios, makers of Beards & Beaks
• Ska Studios, makers of Z0MB1ES (on teh phone)
• Signal Studios and Krome Studios, makers of Toy Soldiers: Boot Camp
• SEGA, makers of Sonic CD
• Glu Mobile, makers of Bug Village
• CAVE, makers of Dodonpachi Maximum
• IronSun Studios, makers of MonstaFish and Fathom
• Zen Studios, makers of Pinball FX2 and Zen Pinball
• Iron Galaxy, makers of Ms. Splosion Man and Wreckateer
• Mommy's Best Games, makers of Shoot 1UP and Serious Sam Double D XXL

Hope you like them! Please read and comment on the interviews. Positive comments will help convince Microsoft to give us more interviews.

great questions asked my favorite thing though with all interviews is asking about future projects on the device they all give the same answer. (which is expected)

 

[Paul Acevedo]

We have one coming up this weekend that actually does reveal new Xbox Live projects!

 

[Terrin]

that is awesome can't wait to read it then.

New interview!

GameHouse, makers of Doodle Jump and Sally's Salon

And we broke off the new game announcement into its own article:

Game House announces 5 new Xbox Live games

The interview is good I would love to get access to the sales numbers and there expected targets. plus the converison of trials to purchases and compare it to ios and android to see how well it is doing compared.

*I understand sales numbers will not be close due to the amount of devices sold.

but if say its a close number then it would make sense for developers to do the switch as more and more people are just gonna get wp7

[DarkSynopsis]

Always been a fan of Toy Soldiers! I loved the first one and enjoyed the second though I was looking to play it co-op with a friend and we just got major lag so ended up playing it Solo...

I never got into the Minigames all that much but I would be willing to have them on my Phone! I look forward to trying out Boot Camp once it hits

I liked all the ones so far but the pinball fx was quite hazy on alot of the questions you asked him like he kinda suggested it was going windows phone 8 :S but without answering it, and you had to push for him to even say that.

You asked the right questions he just didn't give the right answer is how I felt, oh well here is hopign they have shared purchases

 

[Paul Acevedo]

My best interview yet!

Iron Galaxy, makers of Ms. Splosion Man and Wreckateer

Wish we could've gotten straighter answers there, but hopefully it was still interesting overall.
