I’ve happily dived into the world of BlitzMax, and using Leadwerks to create 3D games (yes, you can create 3D games using BlitzMax).
I asked at the Insider forums what tools people are using, and there was tools ranging from c++ to Game Maker. I thought to ask the same question from you readers: what tools and software you are using to make games?
At the moment the only thing that’s relatively complete (albeit in a beta form) is a Zune game:

I’m finishing up a book on role-playing game programming using XNA GS 3.0
Hey, XNA must be cool. Anything to show us Jim?
XNA Game Studio 3.0. Since I’ve started using that I’ll never touch C++ again. :)
(Yaiks, fixed!)
I think your blog post broke the page, I’ve got no background and the bar on the right is underneath now, ah well.
I am using C++ (In Microsoft Visual Studio Pro 2008) with Irrlicht (Graphics), and IrrKlang (Sound) for DtD Tower Defense 2; and I’m loving them!
