Silverlight Game Engine Anyone?

Thursday, April 30, 2009 at 5:02AM

Any good game development platform needs a game engine to extract away some of the repetitive, less exciting work required to build a game.

I have been wondering if anyone would build such an engine for Silverilght. Well, someone is/has.

That person is John Kanalakis and company over at Envy Games. The game engine is called PlayBits.

I’ve been in brief contact with John and it sounds like they are very close to releasing at least a limited beta version.

It’s impossible to know right now how useful the PlayBits engine will be for making games, but judging just by the feature list, it certainly looks promising. (see below. This is copied from Envy Games website)

The PlayBits Game Engine for Silverlight 2.0

Looking for an easy way to create Games for the Web using the C# programming languag? The PlayBits Game Engine for Silverlight 2.0 is the answer. The PlayBits engine uses Microsoft’s Silverlight Web plug-in for Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox to render rich Web games. Your game code is implemented entirely in C# and XAML (the markup language used by Silverlight and WPF). The PlayBits game engine features rich support for making 2D games with 3D games on the way.
