Cool...last I heard this was coming in September. Looks like the timeline got moved up some. Should be interesting to see what people create with this.

Kodu was introduced as being a part of the community games initiative. Doesn't it seem like Microsoft has otherwise abandoned community games?

My thoughts exactly. Is this for XBLA or Community Games? It seems odd that they would banish it to the Community Game channel after the big showing at CES.

I hope Kodu turns out to be alright, looking forward to messing about with this.

Honestly, this looks terrible. There only seem to be simple conditions and actions, seems like you're stuck with one type of game, one camera viewpoint... Which isn't good for the type of application this claims to be.

"Kodu is a new visual programming language made specifically for creating games. It is designed to be accessible for children and enjoyable for anyone."
Taken from the Kodu page on ms research website. THAT is what Kodu claims to be, and it looks like they're doing a good job of creating exactly that. Since it doesn't seem to be living up to your expectations though, what did you think it was claiming to be?
