A glance of hope for Infinite Pew Pew....

Hello everybody!!.

After the bad moment and the mist cloud that i was living on because of Monogame, I've been trying to look for alternatives on how not to port the game and trying to release it before the year ends. So far, Monogame has been a pain in the ass. Reading the Monogame forums i can tell that many people think the API has a lot of bugs, issues and crap, specially the newest version. After the bugs Mono threw to the game, i thought that a much stabler version would help me; Actually the 3.0 version could, but, it won't in the future cause it does not support Windows Phone 8.1 so it kinda will turn useless when a newer release of Windows Phone comes out.

When i started the project i did some research about trying to run XNA apps in newer Windows Phone releases, and Microsoft seemed to still support this old apps in the newest installments of WP, thanks to their compatibility mode. They have their flaws but every information that i found seemed to point out that those apps actually work, there's no way to try to install the app in a newest WP unless if you do it through the store and the only way to do that it's sending your app for approbation to Microsoft so it can actually be in the store for download. If this works, it would be great because it will save me a huge ammount of time in porting the app but above all, it will save me money.

The developer account  has been created and everything points in not to have restrictions about the WP version that i want to upload the app. I tried to reserve the name and it has already been taken, so the new name (and final) will be INFINITE PEW PEW. For now i will focus on finishing the app advertisement , icon, logos and stuff that will be in the store so i can send it for approbation to Microsoft and if everything works well; The app will be in the store before the year ends!!.

Thanks for reading & have a wonderful day!
