You might also want to make a postmortem and rate some of the games made by other people.\r\r\rOn the bad side, why do you need an installer for such a small game? It raises all sorts of red flags, and will make people skip your game :-("},{"author_name":"Static_boy123","author_uid":"6108","time":"Dec 28, 2011 @ 11:32pm","epoch":1325114820,"text":"I made it in XNA and that is how you use an XNA game, installer."},{"author_name":"Hazard","author_uid":"7512","time":"Dec 30, 2011 @ 5:36am","epoch":1325223060,"text":"No, you don't need an installer for XNA! Do a Release build and the "Release" folder will contain the full game. Just zip and upload that. All those installers are quite annoying.
