Over the weekend I spent almost every waking hour learning the ins and outs of C# and the soon-to-be beloved Kinect SDK. After following bits of the Quickstart guides mentioned previously I decided to go it alone and see what came out. There’s a couple of things I’m sure I could share with you, here.
Let me get this out from the off – I am not a software developer. I’m an Interactive Media Producer which means… a lot of things. But what I’m used to is developing for the web. Your HTMLs, your JavaScripts, your PHPs. This C# malarkey is alien to me.
Kinectimals. EA Sports Active 2. Dance Masters. There’s a bunch of games available for Kinect at launch, but nothing that made a massive furore in the gaming market. There’s no stand out Modern Warfare- or Fable-type game out there at the moment and there’s probably a good reason for that rather than just because it’s not had a chance to yet.
It’s been a while since anything was posted here, for which I can only apologise. I’ve been busy partly enjoying this quote-unquote summer we’ve been having and also working on a project I can’t really disclose any details of right now.
The Kinect SDK was due to be released “sometime in Spring” and in was announced yesterday almost out of the blue that this day would be today. Awesome. So From about half five this afternoon I’ve been playing around with a few basics of the SDK.
