Hi there, I am a profesional games designer, I am doing my best to wrestle XNA in to submission, but my lack of an ultra-maths-brain is making this fairly difficult.

I have started developing a 2D shooter, but seem to struggle when getting anywhere, art / music / design is all taken care of (or will  be) its just the code where I seem to suck.

I am looking people in Dorset or Oxford who can help me! It would be great to get together and try and make an awesome game (with me hopefully picking stuff up on the way)

I often wish that sometone would start up a premium rate advice line - a kind of "call us with your issues and we'll talk you through them" service!

Have you tried checking our the #xna channel on IRC? There are quite a few XNA "experts" hanging out there pretty much all day long and late into the night and early morning. Great place to go for support and questions when you need some help walking through something.

You might try here http://xna-uk.net/ they have some uk specific forums

 

Ok
thanks!
