Here at Digital-Tutors, we want to be as forthcoming and transparent as possible. While there are too many variables outside of our control to allow for announcements of future tutorials, we can say that we do not have any plans to continue developing in-house tutorials for Microsoft XNA. Our decision to stop development of new training does not reflect on the quality of this software by any means. We feel that Microsoft XNA is a great piece of software, but at the present time we are not funding further development.
It is important to point out that while we will not be creating in-house tutorials in the forseeable future, this does not mean that we will not release new tutorials through an external artist in the Creative Development series (http://www.digitaltutors.com/11/creative_development.php). If you are, or know of, an artist who is interested in creating training for this software, please send an email to artists@plstudios.com.
