Thanks for the positive comment. It's actually coded in C#. The development kit is completely free for Xbox 360 Independent Games. You can download the compiler "Visual Studio C# Express" and the extra gear you need to make games is "XNA" (also free).
Most games would be coded in C++, but this development kit uses C#, which is easier to use (with a marginal loss of performance - not that you would notice this on most indie games, as they're not massive 3D worlds!).
This was my first foray into producing music - and it had to fit in around the coding! We ended up with 7 tracks in the end, but I hope to do more before we put the retail version out. Garage Band is a powerful tool with lots of loops - especially as it came free with my Mac!
so that funky beat and guitar riff off the beginning is a pre-recorded loop? that's what i loved. i just thought it was all original. the music is still rocking regardless. i'd like to do my own music in one of our games sometime, too. i'd love that challenge.
I'm afraid that it was just a recorded loop. I have a Yamaha keyboard and a MIDI to USB connector so that I can record my own loops using MIDI instruments. However, I didn't have much time for that for Dream Build Play.
Many thanks. We tried to make all of the enemy bullets bright green (apart from one or two special bits), so that it's as easy as possible to see them!
Jackson did most of the sprites, hud and menus. I did the space backgrounds and a few of the bitty sprites and such. We're very happy with how it looks, but know that we've got more potential for future projects!

Look awesome. I like how your bullets are big and easy to see. Makes it much easier to see what's going on

Wow guys - this looks really really good. I can't wait to get my hands on this when it comes to Xbox! Who did the design work?
