I'm doing an Programming and Enterprise project for uni for my final piece. While people in chemistry write books about how to possibly solve cancer overthe span of a few books, I have to create a game.
AND make money.
So I'm generally excited, got a good group of four people who know what they're doing, but I'm coding it whereas the others just make textures, models and ideas. I guess I have the most important role.
The group wants to do it for the Xbox Live Marketplace and have really high expectations. Turns out they only let you use C#.
Does the PlayStation allow indie developers to make games too? I've been searching around and couldn't find anything. I would prefer something C or C++ based. Mostly C++ if I can though.
Also what would you recommend doing it on? PlayStation or Xbox?
Which could potentially give the more power to the game? I heard that the PS3 wouldn't allow use of the main graphical chip but Xbox only allows limited use of the main processor.
Also with the PS3 you use some ogl-based toools which I'm not familiar with.
