so what's all this need for multiplayer later game design well first of all we need to consider your mobile customer this is somebody who wants to consume entertainment on their tempo at their scene in bite-sized chunks that can be either large depending on consumers this is people looking for casual entertainment on the bus on the subway or presentation to start you need to be designing your games for high latency asynchronous play in the most case in most cases the notifications will arrive at the speed of your cellular network but it can take up to 30 minutes for a push notification to arrive so if your game a lot of long delays like this so in a casual gaming frame of mind you might think of something like risk or settlers of catan or go around but have a long-term cycles rather than some food fast tastes like slap jack or Hungry Hungry Hippos you may find it can get higher performance with HTTP polling requests but the trade-off there is that human reduce your battery by keeping these connections over so do what's best your game don't necessarily expect experience another thing to point out is regarded in game session management unlike with the xbox 360 it's up to you to provide the game state and multiple and so if you're going to write multiplayer game means that you also would loss right if their party Webster's handle this game state and to hook up your friends with your game so I'll be straight those do presents challenges but this is not for you change the game to play question there's my phone upfront so please use that certain yeah so questions that one slide show maybe state there's no ad hoc Wi-Fi multiplayer so what you need to do when you design your games you in this month seven series is consider that a synchronous high latency game stuff for this release we're not going to have the ability to pick up through personal regret something the XNA framework does not expose any way to open up a law socket for example make a Wi-Fi connection if that's a feature that you're interested in for inking and I would strongly encourage you to give us that feedback so that we can prioritize features like that and see where they might fit home so the phone itself can use Wi-Fi can use your shell so your network one of the in terms of multiplayer games it doesn't things that much Charlie so I'm not cheating TV for a gaming situation yes so games will not be able to use Wi-Fi for multiplayer but they would they could receive push notifications that way or make HTTP requests using my friend sure so I mean you said early on that your game would have to go through services covered everything with most seminar just games in five services so everything will have to go through some form certification there are additional steps that games will have to submit two for xbox live in table features so in marketplace will have to go for some kind of sir yes that's correct and we will have more information about that so if you're using this new framework well does the does the windows phone sdk allow purchased using the Wi-Fi it's our cell provider if you don't want to have to go through XNA do HTTP and I just grabbed the Wi-Fi start something that's all so no that would be possible additionally platforms to target rather than be so polite with except a framework right okay so if you can have to look reserved and you kind of get what I mean you actually we're just making any binding and engaging with another marketers you have so if you want see so you don't want to admit a foot apart but so there there will be some certification requirements that are still being determined okay pull that bed replication but what about this dream of my Christian Microsoft think know if you just want to download the tools then you'll we're going to have a developer portal where you can go and allow your enable your device to be deployed to for development purposes and that to do that but if they're going to be some kind of green light also spreading depends up on the market right sir you want to avoid regularly Paul paga office yes yes oh there will be we're still working on some of those details about how things get out into the market and we will also have 20 questions we introduce weather container apps facebook you want to use the trap yes mess the cops because one of the people wrong psychic others the job one in this week shakes a java city run at play a serious game she lose the closest achievements my facebook twitter and when polls in an actual RSS feed Jilly location matters is there was actually nice though we pointed out on a table so if you're making if you're doing that's our nation to request your game that's good job and we want properly balanced chief about 10 minutes or so if you're thinking like you want to host I just started checking your game and you want to post it to Facebook and Twitter okay so that's that's going to be more of a policy question so you need to have a discussion with your account manager okay it's no problem at do it I'm saying exactly isn't technology you guys want even a question thank you very much for coming I appreciate stick
