How about our first game be a tribute to our favourite gaming platform, the PC? Lets make something we ourselves would love to play 
1 and 2 are still amazing.

OK. Moving on.
Right now, as things stand: the project will be for the PC, XNA shall be the platform, and we write our own 2d engine, but borrowing libraries if a task seems too time-consuming/beyond our experience.
Any objections, or can we move on?

java is just to slow. Its also harder to develop than C#, which is way easier

Indeed someone should have told him.  |

i didn't mean pc<->phone platform independent, but phone<->phone platform independent
wp7, android and ios all have different dev languages and requirements
making a pc game makes everything easier of course - unless someone insists on linux/mac support

Linux support is always good, but let's not promote Macs with our awesome games, lest people start buying them just for our games, and then how would you look in the mirror?

I worked on a couple of XNA things before, at that there were no good graphic engines and you might as well write everything yourself as it's hardly worth the effort, might have changed though. However, a physics engine would be highly recommended if we need it.

I checked out, what I found, and all the good stuff created in XNA are not really shared. What is out there is good for *ahem* inspiring us, but it's not worth using much of the code. Right now though, it's not even certain, that we would need a physics engine at all.

We have basically decided already, that we'd build our own 2d engine on the XNA platform. Unity is indeed easy and good, and multiplatform, but one of the main goals of this all is to get experience for ourselves.
