As an attempt to re-create the spirit of individual initiative that marked the late 1970s and early 1980s in computer gaming, Microsoft announced this morning it will be making an Express edition of its XNA game development platform available to prospective developers for the same price it charges for all its other Express platforms: zero.

XNA game development platform will be free for Windows, $99 for Xbox

As an incentive for novices, Microsoft will also establish an Internet-based network it describes as a "creators club" not only for access to the latest documentation, but to let developers congregate and share ideas and code. Members will pay a $99 annual fee, or $49 for a four-month fee, for the access they need to be able to conceptualize, test, and deploy a real console video game. A Microsoft developer in Germany, Boris Schneider-Johne, reports today that this fee will include tools that upgrade the Xbox 360 itself, to a kind of developer-class system.

Microsoft developers report the first beta of XNA Game Studio Express will be made available on 30 August, with a final edition released - still for free download - before the holidays. The product requires Visual C# Express, but that's also free.

Microsoft today released the download of the first Beta of XNA Game Studio Express, a software that will allow any user with some programming talent to create games for the Xbox 360 game console. A writer of the "XNA Team Blog" said that the purpose of the release is to "start getting feedback on what we'll be releasing."

XNA Game Studio Express represents a set of APIs needed for the general functionality of Windows and Xbox 360 games. The final version of the package will be available for free, but users who want to run their own games on an Xbox 360 will have to become members of a special "creator's club" - which apparently will also include tools to upgrade an Xbox 360 to a "development system." The annual membership fee for this club will be $99.

The download of the XNA Game Studio Express Beta is restricted to participants of the XNA Beta Program. Users interested in downloading the software can join the program through Microsoft's Connect website.
