The director of Xbox's indie developer programme,
ID@Xbox has announced that the first wave of indie offerings will hit the Xbox One early in 2014.
Chris Charla pegged the first round of releases
in the first quarter of the year in an comment to Edge.
"I think it will be early in the New Year,
in the first three months," said Charla. "I would say closer to the
third month. In terms of how many games there will be, it's hard to say,
because they're still in development."
ID@Xbox has attracted developers like Vlambeer,
Capy and Double Fine but the fact that the games are all still works in
progress means Charla hasn't confirmed particular studios and titles. Indeed,
the "closer to the third month" comment means we wouldn't be entirely
surprised if the releases ended up appearing on console early in the second
quarter instead.
The project already provides registered
developers with access to the
Unity engine but, ultimately, Charla's goal with ID@Xbox is to offer
development tools to everyone with an Xbox One -- not just those already
interested in developing games -- "from coding a game in C++, to someone
who can't code at all using something like Project Spark".
