Sure, we all know that Valve announced the release of it's 360 Source engine to 360 developers. But that wasn't enough for Joystiq. No, they had to go and ask questions. They needed answers straight from the proverbial horse's mouth. As if they were journalists or something. The short but sweet interview covers the differences between the 360 middleware engine and the free PC version, the ease of cross-platform portability, and integrated networking possibilities (i.e. Live). Check it out if you're so inclined. Anybody have any pet source projects they'd like to bring to the 360?
Joystiq gets the dope on 360 Source

1. I want to make a game based on the old movie, Time Bandits.
If you haven't seen it, go rent it, but be forewarned, the graphics are on par with the Gamecube. So don't expect HD glory. For that matter don't expect much other than a great story for a great game. Oh, and laughs...
In summary, the game would be about stealing treasure from history. It involves time travel. Each 'team' would be given a goal to retrieve certain items while other 'teams' possibly could compete for the same goal or other goals.
It would be First Person and involve a lot of strategy/coordination, and similar to Battlefield 2- allow 16 or more players involved in a session.
Teams would win when they achieve all of the team goals or if the other teams fail at their own goals.
