Trino 0.1.7.0 has the following new features:

EA playtests Trino during soft open


















One of the nice perks of working in the EA Redwood shores building is that its easy for employees to check out our game during a coffee break. Our team held a soft open or open house for any EA employee to come by and play test our game. We had people from all different teams like Sims, Deadspace, Pogo and also university relations and facility team.

Everyone who playtested gave us really good feed back and many played over and over trying to get the highest score for the day!



Thank you to everyone who stopped by and playtested! (and who came back to enjoy more after the playtest!)

Trino seen on Ziggyware

We posted a link to our blog a few days ago on XNA community and another site Ziggyware posted a link to our blog. Check it out! Check out Ziggyware's XNA tutorials and stuff.
Thank you!
