@GamingIndian you cannot do real time multiplayer games over wifi. However, there is a push notifications api that fully supports asynchronous turn based gaming, expect to see a lot of that!
@GamingIndian Windows Phone 7 fully supports asynchronous turns based multiplayer games. I'm using push notifications to achieve this. There is no support for real time multiplayer action though initially. I would expect wifi multiplayer to be supported in an update.
@keithpatton I see that the game offers multiplayer action (turn based) but MS staff at tech ed told me that multiplayer will not be rolled out in the first phase of launch. Were they talking about their own first party games or will third party devs like yourself are also affected by this?
Also will your app give out gamer score points like first party wp7 games that MS has demoed so far? any details on pricing of the app?
