&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1pZDE09e2eWoFNj32jaifsYbZ7jMdk3Lgis_n_w857PisJ1r3bKQ3zhqvmM8smkdhtn-Z-V9-Nx8U" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG height=169 alt=Screenshot4 src="http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1pZDE09e2eWoFNj32jaifsYbZ7jMdk3Lgis_n_w857PisJ1r3bKQ3zhqvmM8smkdhtn-Z-V9-Nx8U" width=300&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kh60qY35SM"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kh60qY35SM&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As you can see, the screen allows up to 4 players to join the game and select the colors they wish to collect.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you are lacking in human players, you are allowed to set each opponent to cpu control.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;So, the updated modes would be as such:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Single player 
&lt;LI&gt;Co-op - All open (2-4 players) 
&lt;LI&gt;Co-op - Choose colors (2-4 players) 
&lt;LI&gt;Battle - Everyone for themselfs (2-4 players) 
&lt;LI&gt;Battle - Teams (4 players)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This should about do it for the current menus, now it is on to the leaderboard screens.&amp;nbsp; After this, I plan on possibly putting out one more update and then finalizing the features and gameplay. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I was thinking of adding some bonus stages between rounds and making the singleplayer experience both longer(more levels) and more unique. I am of course looking forward to finishing up everything and submitting it to the community games when that becomes available.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Collector 2.0</title><link>http://forums.xna.com/forums/thread/45979.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 15 Feb 2008 16:03:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">4aa5dbf6-357b-46b2-b5b2-1b660a6dc370:45979</guid><dc:creator>Aztec</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.xna.com/forums/thread/45979.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.xna.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=32&amp;PostID=45979</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;Hey, a while back I posted on here about my game 'The Collector'. The demo I posted had limited play and I described some multiplayer I wanted to add. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Well, I finally got around to updating the game to xna 2.0 and thought I'd share a new demo with everyone.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1pZDE09e2eWoFi4vzOdyMYx4fhI9M6QI91MJicDIsnQb2NJ44z3TSk8LIkR8JzOllJEzg7ZGlSi-U" target=_blank&gt;&lt;IMG height=169 alt=Screenshot2 src="http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1pZDE09e2eWoFi4vzOdyMYx4fhI9M6QI91MJicDIsnQb2NJ44z3TSk8LIkR8JzOllJEzg7ZGlSi-U" width=300&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In this demo you can play through all 5 modes each mode has 3 levels of increasing difficulty. The game supports up to 4 players local play.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Modes include:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Single player&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Co-op - All open (2 players)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Co-op - Choose colors (2 players)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Battle - Everyone for themselfs (2 players)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Battle - Teams (4 players)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This is not yet complete! &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Since I have not yet completed the color selection screen, the colors and number of players are automatically chosen for you. This will change by the next update. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;In addition, the leaderboard is disabled because in game scoring is still not finalized.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please leave feedback if you play this.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
