Indie-Entwickler endlich willkommen
Offensichtlich scheint Microsoft sich dazu entschieden zu haben Indie-Entwicklern mehr Chancen auf der Xbox One geben zu wollen. In einem Gespräch mit OXM, gab Unity Technologies CEO David Helgason an, dass man bereis mit Microsoft kooperiere und man beispielsweise an einem Gratis-Export von Spielen aus dem Windows Store arbeite.
Kern sei dabei die Unterstützung von Unity. Dadurch sei es mit einfachen Mitteln möglich bereits existierende Unity Games für die Xbox 360 sowie andere Plattformen sowie auch die kommende Microsoft Konsole zu portieren.
Zitat:
Zudem will Microsoft Xbox One Entwicklern Unity Tools für alle Xbox One Entwickler zur Verfügung stellen, die den Applikations-Prozess via ID@Xbox überstanden haben. Offensichtlich scheint Microsoft mit dieser Massnahme die Unterstützung von Indie-Entwicklern für die Xbox One gewinnen zu wollen.
Additionally Microsoft will distribute Unitiy Tools to all Xbox One devlopers. Once developers successfully applied at ID@Xbox they will get the toolset for free. Apparently Microsoft wants to get the support from the indie community for Xbox One, which would not only be a good thing for Microsoft but also for gamers, having access to a much wider variety of games.

Xbox 360 support was something we did on our own to support some of our customers, we came in really late in the cycle, so we kind of knew it wasn’t going to be a huge business for us, sagt Helgason. Because you know late in a cycle, people will have picked their technologies, built their own, there weren’t really a lot of needs.
So we did because we had customers who wanted to export games and they did that. Here we’re coming in really early in the cycle with a lot of support from Microsoft, also the difference is a few years ago we were a small company with a new toolset and now it’s a massive community with almost two million people.
Tens of thousands of games, is our last estimate – on mobile especially, but also elsewhere. And of course you know Microsoft is excited to work with us to bring the best of that community to their ecosystem.
