Learn how to create an entire game from scratch with Kodu! This 4-part video will teach you how to make a Geometry Wars style twin-stick shooter. Kodu is only $5 on the indie games channel on Xbox live.
Part 1
In this part we'll learn about land tools, and setting up basic character controls.
Part 2
In this part we'll add walls, some enemies, AI, a path for a wisp. We learn how to use pages, and mess up the programming with a misplaced "random" tile.
Part 3
In this part we'll program a 60 sec clock on an invisible rock, add music, and bump some enemies.
Part 4
In this final part we'll add some lights, and put the finishing touches on our game. We learn how to add some text with a keyboard, add glyphs, and mention land types.
