Existe-t-il des jeux célèbres écrits en .Net et / ou XNA?

xna .net

Another, rather recent one: Dust: An Elysian Tail. I think it's probably the best XNA game I've ever played.

— BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft

Another one that was just released and is doing very well: Rogue Legacy

Rimworld is in C# with Unity.

Stardew Valley was developed (by a single developer) in XNA, released in early 2016, and has sold nearly 600,000 copies on Steam alone.

Schizoid is a pretty successful XBLA game. Does that count? (not really, but its the best I could find)

I think what you mean is are there any AAA-scale games made using XNA and/or XNA GS. To that, the answer is no. The games industry has been very slow move past C/C++ as the gold standard. This isn't for no reason, most AAA games would rather trade all the nice syntax and runtime support for an extra 5FPS and 50MB less RAM usage since both of those directly translate to units sold. Granted there is argument for lower development costs and faster cycles, but thats a hard calculus to use in this industry.

Of course there's also the issue of lack of C# compilers for consoles and the memory protection model preventing JIT. Having said that, I'd indeed really not want to give up the control C/C++ gives me over threading, memory management/access and optimization. Lastly, 5fps on a 60 fps game is a lot, not to mention 50 meg on a 256 mb machines.

It will be interesting to see whether Windows Phone 7 changes the game here any. You have to use XNA if you want to develop 3D games for WP7, which means it's profile within AAA studios may raise.

Given how unlikely it is that Windows phones will hit any useful market penetration, probably not so much.

and of course, there's a lot of existing code ready for reuse out there. You get to start from scratch if you migrate away from what works for you. If C/C++ ever stops providing you with the ability to make those games, then I'd see change - not until then.

@heishe That would be because all information about it is under NDA.

Terraria. It sold 200,000 copies in the first week of release on Steam. It's been in the Steam top 10 sellers list since. I'd say that makes it a popular XNA game.

Super Meat Boy and FEZ are good examples too.

@EdgarT, Super Meat Boy engine is C++, not C#.

Magicka is a new one. I played a bit of the demo and it seems pretty good.

— Jon

Just played it the other day. Way more fun with a few friends than it has any right to be.

— James

This is probably the most well-known as of 5/2011

— BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft

Insanely good game.

— Tili

+2 :) It's also borderline AAA - as in: it's quite mainstream.

Bastion. It just won 3 Spike Video Game Awards a couple days ago (not to mention all the other ones it already had - check link).

— David Gouveia

Bastion used XNA and MonoGame on consoles. Here are some Showcase videos. 2014 - youtube.com/watch?v=mx4B8XFtnZo . 2015 - youtube.com/watch?v=i8h5u5BgoJY !! These could technically be classified as XNA as MonoGame is API compatible with XNA, but takes it to tonnes of other platforms.

It depends on your definition of "famous" :)

Sol Survivor is a very well polished XNA game, which appears on the Xbox and PC.
AI War is written on .NET and while not very widely known, is groundbreaking for the scale of gameply it holds.

— RCIX

I'm hoping to get Chris Park over here. I left him a comment on Stack Overflow but he hasn't visited in a couple of weeks.

— mmyers

@mmyers: I'm gonna go PM him on his forums, thanks for the idea!

— RCIX

I did not realize AI War was written in .NET. That's really cool, especially as its an inspiration for an XNA game I'm working on and I was thinking of how great it would be to make a game at that scale.

— CodexArcanum

@Codex: well, it's switching to Unity (though it still uses Mono). Quite impressive though!

This thread on the XNA forum has a list of commercial games:

List Of Commercial Games Made With XNA

I'm not sure how many games are 'famous' but it includes some arcade titles like:

Blazing Birds (4000 units)
Rocket Riot (20,000 units)

The Dishwasher was made in XNA, as was Flotilla.

Lucidity by Lucas Arts was also written in XNA. Blueberry Garden on Steam, while an indie title, was also written using XNA.

Also, take into account that while not full games, parts of important AAA games have been written in .NET. Supreme Commander used it for it's multiplayer part and Neverwinter Nights Aurora editor was written in .NET.

— Vicente Cartas

Indeed. AFAIK, the popup dialogue boxes in Fable III were written with XNA.

— kymully

Yeah - I've heard about a number of engines and games that use it as their scripting language.

— Leniency

With the C/C++ CLR Hositng API, You can load the .Net Framework in a native c/c++ program. As such it's incredibly easy to design plugin/scripting frameworks in .Net and load them into games, and is becomming more common place to do so. Also with Mono-Project pretty mature it's astronomically easier to port games built on .Net now. And MonoGame picked up XNA where microsoft dropped it and is continuing it's development.

Breath of Death VII

Received a ton of media buzz, including

Also, the similar games "Cthulu Saves the World" and "Penny Arcade: Precipice of Darkness, Episode 3" by the same developer, running on the same engine.

— BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft

Funcom's (of Age of Conan/Anarchy Online fame) new game Bloodline Champions is written in XNA. It's currently in closed beta, but they have been quite generous with the beta keys.

What about Infiniminer ?

Infiniminer is a voxel based construction sandbox game written in C# using XNA.

It is officially recognised as the ancestor of Minecraft.

Weapon of Choice

Weapon of Choice is an Indie game from Mommy's Best Games. The game is written in C#/XNA. Gamasutra has a great post-mortem where the developer discusses using C# to write a game (he had been using C/C++ prior to going independent).

I don't know if it's considered famous but it did win some awards.

While not technically .Net, many games made with Unity3D. EA has recently decided to use Unity3D for many of thier new games. The Unity3D engine uses Mono (an open source implementation of .Net) as it's scripting engine. Due to runtime optimizations, script performance as high as 120% native code speeds can be achieved.

For lower end platforms such as consoles (which IMHO makes them unsuitable for hardcore gamers), Mono and by extension Unity supports FULL AOT compilation. This allows games made in a Managed language to run on platforms that do not allow JIT.

As Unity's rendering engine and core components are programmed in C++, you easily break the 60FPS mark as long as you don't do stupid stuff that would ruin the FPS in C++ games as well. Don't iterate through a huge list every frame. Avoid using division, multiplying by 0.5 is 10 times faster than dividing by 2. Don't read from files every frame, cache the data as you need it. Don't run any more code every frame then you need, stick much of your code in methods that are only called when they are needed.
