Bungie Aerospace was created to help small, independent developers launch their mobile and social games.

Bungie Aerospace gives studios the creative freedom and the resources they need, like access to the Bungie.Netplatform and an audience with the incredible Bungie community, to launch entertainment experiences into orbit and to satisfy their own thirst for world domination.

Bungie Aerospace's success will lie in the strong partnerships we cultivate with independent developers. Each partnership will be tailored to the needs of your team and project, and may include:

• Financial Resources
• An Audience with our Kick Ass Community
• PR & Marketing Support
• QA/Testing & User Research
• Release Management Support
• Technology & Expertise for: Web, Servers, Database, and Back-end Services

From seasoned developers to college students if you have a passion for making great games on any mobile or social platform we want to hear from you.Bungie

Way to go, Bungie. Support those who may not be able to launch their own ideas without help. I'm very impressed.

I love Bungie.:oops:

Love how cows have been saying for years that BUngie is a terrible dev and cares about nothing but world domination, Then they come out trying to give others help with their dreams. Bungie, you guys are the most awesome developers out there. Bar NONE.

Of course something like this would never happen if they were still under the tyrannical rule of MS.

Props 2 Bungie.

Bungie only got as big as they did because of the funding MS gave them. And XBLA provides a venue for a great many small independant studios to publish & distribute their works. Who's to say Aerospace wouldn't still happen under their partnership with MS?

No, not really.

They can have their bad moments but Microsoft basically made Bungie. And XBLA is pretty damn amazing, it's something they should be proud of.

The mindless MS hate in System Wars is annoying.

Bungie made themselves. Although they were not doing outstanding, they were developing Halo as a PC title. Now in typical microsoft fashion, they didnt have any game developer talent or any good IPs to sell their new console....so what do they do? (like always) They just buy someone else, and in this case, it was Bungie.

Way to go Bungie!

the new valve confirmed?

Big difference between developers who have contracts vs developers who are bought out.

Noooo, Heil is completely right. Microsoft isn't even a legitimate coprporation. They're just a well disguised horde of monstrous raiders and pillagers, who will leave the earth a barren wasteland. So no matter how seemingly good or beneficial their support of a developer, or the online support model they provide, it CAN'T be good simply because it's Microsoft involved. I mean if it was the same thing with Sony, Nintendo, Valve, or whoever else, it would be totally cool. But by virtue of Microsoft's involvement, it must be assumed to be tainted and defiled. :roll::roll::roll:

Oh and I am NOT defending MS in every regard. I recognize how they overcharge for peripherals, and aren't supporting first party as much as they could (or what ever else you want to complain about), but seriously, this extreme view of their "evil" in no way reflects reality.

[QUOTE="Heil68"] MS would have their greedy little hands all over and shove Kinect support in it for the casual sale. AdobeArtist

So? It's not like those games where Kinect is central to the game schemes (Dance Central, Fight Club, Kinectimals, etc...). For Forza 4, Mass Effect 3, GRFS, it's all OPTIONAL. You don't have to buy a $150 peripheral to be able to play them and they'll still offer a satisfying core gaming experience. I know I won't.

You seem a little TOO focused on this one issue lately even though there are still other options available. Why do you have to bring up Kinect in every post you make?

He just said he isn't going to buy Kinect.SaltyMeatballs

It really doesn't matter what I say. He's just going to draw his own conclusions as if I said nothing at all :?
