    I have an idea for one that I might try to create (in all that free time I have :D), but I thought I'd solicit the community for ideas.

    I have been thinking the of the same thing, both starting a new starter kit, and were are all the requests for kits..

    In thinking it would be noce to get one in the main themes of games.

    • 2d Shooter
    • 3d Shooter
    • First Person Shooter
    • First Person RPG
    • 2d Tile based RPG - this is one of the ideas I was thinking of, and I did start to drop hints on the IRC Channel about this.

    The 2D tile-based RPG was the one I was thinking about as well. I've already got most of the guts of an RPG engine done. I figured I could use Reiner's tileset graphics for it so it would have been very easy to put together.

    I guess I'm missing all the good stuff on IRC. There's usually not much going on when I get on. :(

    I would like a 2d tile based RPG and even a FPS starter kit. I have some ideas that I would like to try, but my lack of knowledge for creating a game engine is preventing me from doing this.

    I'm currently messing around with the space wars and Racing Game starter kits and I do have to say that these kits are a big help when you need a basic game engine.

    Hello,

    I think a simple 2D RPG would be intresting to see, with an added save/load game feature.

    I also like the FPS idea, with incorporating animation for a figure walking and moving.

    Just my 2 cents

    Whatever you do is great.  These kits are very important to the learning process.

    First person shooter

    I was going to say an RTS kit but I already know how to write those. ;)

    I think there is such a solid fanbase for 2D RPGs (like Square's SNES ones) that it's worth a starter kit and will expand XNA's fanbase too. It's sure not hard to create your own base for such a game but I am sure many people find it quite hard to start with.

    If they bring out a starter kit for each one of these genres, I can't see any newbie game developers using anything other than XNA in the future. The hurdle most newbies game devers face it that they have a game idea, but don't really know where to start. These starter kits would give them all a massive boost to starting and hopefully finishing their games.

    I would add RTS as a game genre to the list above.

    Point and Click adventure game. Like the Nancy Drew series. My wife and kids are busy working on the story and puzzles, and I'm am climbing the huge lerning curve of building the world to host that story and puzzles. To be honest, I'm very overwhelmed.
