Good question. I added a link to the post above. That will take you directly to the download in Xbox Marketplace.
You can also find it in the Community Games section on your Xbox 360.

Just wondering, can you actually sell your game or is the game you created only playable on Kodu

It's only playable on Kodu, as far as I know. You can also share your games directly with your Xbox friends that also have Kodu.
There's no database-style sharing akin to LittleBigPlanet though, which is a shame.

Oh wow, really Richard? i though it would be like that. I'm kinda less interested in it now. =(

If you actually watched the video, you would notice how Richard jokingly offered to release his "game" onto the Xbox Live Marketplace for 1200 MS Points (maybe 1500). 1500 MS Points is near the equivalent of $20 USD.

Pretty sure that's what's called a "joke," guys.

Are people really that dumb, i was talking about Richard Mitchell's game, who during the video (which is why i said i just finished watching the video, and nice level) said that he would be selling his game (if it passed certification) for 1500 points (almost 20 dollars) as a joke.
I replied that if i was going to pay 20 bucks for that, it better have some fucking amazing achievements.
kodu doesnt even have achievements, its a community game. Why are people so fucking stupid.

well,
why don't u guys make a foreign account???
make a USA/UK account & you can pretty much use all features.
& if you don't have much gamerscore, just use the foreign account as your main profile - sorted.
you just have to make a USA/UK account with a local address (make one up - postcode for USA = 10001 ;D)

Nice video, Richard. I think this has me convinced to pick Kodu up, which will make this the first time in a while I've used Microsoft Points on something other than Rock Band or Burnout DLC.

It's only 400 points, not $20, not 800 points.
It's gotta be one of the most generously priced piece of game software Microsoft has ever released.

I'll give them a pass for Phantom Dust. I know they didn't publish it over here, but it was arguably the best $20 I've ever spent on a video game. This was on release day, and it wasn't on sale.
Kodu is cool stuff though. I'm having a hard time figuring some stuff out, but I'm having a lot of fun playing around. Really wish you could go down to the single square level to make these games (being able to shrink objects), or that they'd at least have set sizes and magnetism for the brushes. I have a feeling we'll have to pay for that in Kodu 2 though.

Someone pleeeaase remake I Wanna Be The Guy with this ;P
I'd like to take this thing to the limit. It doesn't look very extensive, kinda like a LBP editor where you can create different game types. It would still be interesting to try to make something that is actually good.

I was one of the most awesome level designers in Megaman Powered Up! If I had this I would create levels that could possibly blow your mind but guess what this MOFO is region locked.I even tried to download it from MS US page.
The next time I get a console I'm going to register a fake U.S account like the one I have with Rhapsody (Very clever iTunes very clever) I hate region locked content.

WoW!!! thank you for the quick runthrough, I think I will pick this up and give it a try. Has anyone tried sharing their game with others? How many games can you make and save?? how many of your friends games can you save? could you imagine if they added 2 player support for games after you made them? were can I find out more info?

Yeah, Kodu actually supports up to four players. You have to program them all in, of course. Pretty sure they have to be local players too.

Any chance you could send me a copy of your game to my Gamertag, JWhittaker??? I'd pay, but only if it passes the certification process first...

this is a really cool title - i've been eagerly awaiting it's arrival.
i'll probably buy it once the Marketplace gets a bit more stable.

This video doesn't do the entire game justice. Theres a lot bigger level of depth if you play it or look at the YouTube videos

Yeah, this video isn't supposed to exhaustive at all. It's really just to show you what can be done by someone that has literally never touched it before.
If you really put your mind to it, you could make some pretty impressive stuff. Just take a look at some of the samples that are included with the game.

The size restriction and slow down is a problem. I was expecting more from this when I first heard about it. Now it seems like it will only produce mini-games, not a game that someone could spend tons of time making it look and play really good.
Instead your stuck with generic maps and minimal substance.
