    How on earth do I access XBLAC games through the XBL dashboard?

    Hey guys,

    I'm completely perplexed as to how to access community content through my Xbox360. I can't believe that MS have done so many fantastic things in regards to growing its own indie dev community and then throw it all away by hiding the content through the XBox dashboard.

    I'm about 70 percent complete on my first full XBLAC game and I'm considering stopping development and porting it to the iPhone platform. If I can't access fellow developers content through the XBL dashboard, how on earth is the average joe going to access my content once its complete??

    Select Game Marketplace on the top level, then scroll up/down to Community Games.

    Edit: Since you're asking on the Creator's Club forums, I am assuming you're referring to Community Games rather than the full Live Arcade Games.

    I agree that it's not easy to find CG unless you know where to look, which is a shortcoming for sure. But the drama? I think there's enough of that around already.

    All content in the NXE (that isn't featured or advertised) is hard as heck to find now. It's not a problem solely with XBLCG. (Which, pedanticaly, it's XBLCG, not XBLAC).

    Then port to it. No need to come here and write that you're thinking about it; it's not going to change overnight. If you feel the iPhone is a better platform, then port your game and make your millions.
