Kodu is an Indie game and all indie games must be played while conneccted to live. I do not think there is a work around. sorry.

I dont have broadband at home yet, so i went round my mates house and connected to xbox live. i downloaded kodu trial but when i got home and tried to load kodu my xbox asked for a connection. i also downloaded forza 3 demo and this works fine without a connection. Im gutted and was really looking forward to trying kodu. Does anyone know how to solve this, so i can use kodu offline.

were going a bit off topic here but yea, everyone wants a part of dreamspark, i mean you get expression stdio, visio studio professional , xna, windows server (read about tureing this into an OS thats better than windows vista – therefore you have windows for free)…

back on topic, im gonna get this game now, just buying points from gamepointsnow.com, too lazy to go to my local music store (10mins down the road) to get them.

boku, kodu, kumo….all sound the same.

I don’t suppose they’re willing to stretch the license to public libraries as well as schools, hmmm???

indie games cost $99??? i have always seen them around 200 points (UK) , Kudo is said to be $5 dollars. there has never been a subsrciption models, you either get the play the demos for free or get the games for about 200points (uk).

for the developers they pay for the subscription to build the games and have xna…..(dreamspark offers visual studio and xna for free howvever…i think)

so yea to sumerise, games are 200points some big ones 400points, and demos to try out. much cheaper than normal XBLA.
