    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.
