Microsoft XNA is a set of tools with a managed runtime environment provided by Microsoft that facilitates video game development and management. XNA attempts to free game developers from writing "repetitive boilerplate code"[1] and to bring different aspects of game production into a single system.[2] The XNA toolset was announced March 24, 2004, at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose, California. A first Community Technology Preview of XNA Build was released on March 14, 2006. XNA Game Studio 2.0 was released in December 2007, followed by XNA Game Studio 3.0 on October 30, 2008.

About A Virus Named TOM with 1 comment by MisfitsAttic on May 21st, 2012

Hey alpha fund-ers! There doesn't seem to be a way to message you all so I'm hoping anyone "tracking" the game gets this. The good news is there's lots of new stuff in the latest update to A Virus Named TOM (see below), but due to some odd install issues you need to uninstall/re-install the game (Unless you're using the stand-alone version).

There is an error in the description: XNA stands not for "Xbox New Architecture", it stands for "XNA's Not Acronymed".
Also I have to agree that XNA is not an engine.

XNA is not an engine it's a development libary it's just Direct X with some code already provided.

I'm sure your project will flesh out and become really interesting. Give it some time and continue working on it. I don't know how much I will get accomplished with my game engine so far. Elements of War sounds unique and interesting. Good luck and don't give up! :-)
