Interestingly enough, all of my games were at the new price points well before the automatic ones came into effect so I guess I just sailed off the back of more users visiting

Anyone else noticed a surge in sales for the 23rd and 24th? I'm guessing it's due to the auto price drop (I don't see the same happening with my 240 point title) but I haven't noticed that being promoted anywhere...

One of the overloads for spritebatch takes a float which allows you to scale.

You need to ensure the origin (i.e. your pivot point) is in the place where you would expect the sprite to rotate around. The easiest way to find that, is to open it up in paint or whatever, and point your cursor to the point it makes sense to rotate about (often the middle of the sprite) and then take those coordinates and pass that in as your ...
