CloseSo, Seriously, I am highly considering getting into the XNA creators club (google it if you don't know what it is). I don't know what coding you need, or how it is done, but I am ready to learn. I really want to learn a coding language (I don't consider the stuff I know in VB as a "language" because its so damn easy...)
Anyways, is anyone here part of the XNA, or have any idea how it works? If I do decide to seriously get into this, would anyone be interested in joining me (with or without an XNA membership).
As a plus, the new Action Game Maker that enterbrain is releasing allows you to port into the XNA game studio, so if I don't get a premium membership for it now, I probably will when that comes out.
So, discuss I guess...
(man this topic is messy. I'm really tired, so alot of it may or may not make sense. sorry...)

XNA is a framework for C# to simplify working with DirectX and XNA 3.0 recently came out. You'll have to download Microsoft C# Visual Studios 2008 and XNA Game Studio to get it all set up and going. It won't give you much premade high level stuff like RPG Maker such as resources, engines, or map editors+players and the developer is resonsible for high level stuff like that.
Its free (Visual Studios and the XNA framework) and you don't have to become a member to use XNA so try it out before you risk throwing money away on something that you don't like.
Personally I've messed around with C#+XNA and I prefer it over everything else available because the IDE is actually useful and I like C# over the other languages other tools use. It has some missing features such as universal Gamepad support (XNA only supports 360 controllers to simplify porting a Windows game to the 360) and there's no way to call a message box (again since the 360 couldn't support it) although there's simple work arounds for those issues. I do have some stuff I'm working on using XNA but its hardly playable.

Awesome. Thank you for the info Great Red Spirit. I was trying to get it going earlier this morning, but just like visual basic express, it won't run without errors on my laptop. I'll figure it out later.
