It's finally arrived!  Beta 2 of XNA has come out and now its time do some transitioning.  You can find Beta 2 here.

 

From what I have been reading from Dave's "letskilldave" blog, found here, the transitions necessary to convert from Beta 1 to Beta 2 are minor.  There are some new changes to the pipeline, but nothing where it will cause any headaches.  What I find really nice to see, is that XNA will now be managing images itself.  This is great!

 

I will be releasing a copy of my XNA raycasting engine soon, so keep watching.  I am thinking about supplying an editor too, but I haven't finalized the details on the levels, or enemies and such.  Until then, I may release that at a later date.
