So, I have just shared tutorial 52 in my MonoGame RPG tutorial series Eyes of the Dragon. I would have put it up last night, but I was tired after a long day. This tutorial covers gaining gold and experience. Also, it covers adding in potions for the player to collect. You can find the link to the tutorial on the Eyes of the Dragon page of my blog. Also, you can use this direct link.

What’s Next?

Honestly, I haven’t decided what is next for my tutorials. I should update the editors a bit. However, creating items manually through code is working so far. I want to focus more on gameplay and less on editors for now. However, I know I have to handle displaying the character’s stats and levelling the character up. So that is likely what I will end up doing. As always, if there is a topic you would like to see covered, drop a comment on the blog. I’m always happy to cover my reader’s requests.

My Projects

I didn’t have the opportunity to work on Silver Prophet yesterday. Instead, I wrote the tutorial, and I was out working for a good chunk of the day. I hope to get the time to work on it over the weekend, along with tutorials. Also, as I mentioned yesterday, I need to work on the conversation editor. It is just going to be a pain to rewrite it from scratch. If that is what needs to be done, though, that is what needs to be done.

Final Thoughs

It feels good to be writing tutorials again. Doing so is really helping me be the best me I can be. In addition, it feels good to be giving back to the community. I want to dive into my game. However, I don’t feel like rewriting the conversation editor, and I really need that before moving on to the next piece of the puzzle. So, please keep visiting the blog for the latest news on my tutorials and other goodness.

Good luck with your game programming adventures.
